  1. Saudi is biggest economy and influencer because if oil wealth. Without oil wealth it doesn't have much. Aramco is successful but Saudi has huge numbers of expat experts. Agree that USA as disrupter is crazy. Why would USA disrupt the world.

  2. Saudi princes don't have to have manners. Their whole life is gettyand doing what they want because they are rich and people don't say no.

  3. Second half is from a different story. Dubai al about business and not about warriors ​

  4. Still not self sufficient. Problem is that jobs go to Toadies and not competent . Saudi now has 18 million people mostly unemployed. Many are unqualified and only accept execyjobs.

  6. Saydis gad a huge lever and then dont realuse that they now have a large lever. Look for ward a decade Russia will ve back on oil market and they will be joined bt brazil and argey. Saudis then have a medium lever. Eventually theocratic uran will fild and iran and Iraq will be on rbe narket big. Daudi will then gave a small lever.

  9. ​ @garyshan7239 doesn't cost billions if you already invest in navy. Equation would change if USA deployed almost all of fleet to china seas

  12. Mbs pussed that biden objected to chainsawing of a man with us passport. Saudi has been a major support to Russia in Ukraine. If Saudi had opened the taps Russia would be now be bankrupt.

  13. USA and Europe has the technology and the others buy from them. Russia didn't depend on western technology because they were pro west.

  14. No other currency has the belief that it will not destroy itself. Euro comes second. Most currency in the world can be destroyed by a poor government ​ @HellBot-gi5si

  16. I dint see Saudi becoming irrelevant soon. However they eill he demoted from country that owipkyhave ti tip toe around to country thst is important but not mist important. The thing that would make usa pay attention is Iran. Saudi could implode. Shias are majority in oil producing regions. Don't thing USA will stand aside. Also cannot ignore Israel influence on USA .

  18. ​ @lijackson-x6r or they can become poor like other resource poor country.

  19. England owned the world.

  20. Good question. Where did USA get oil before shale.

  21. KSA nothing like UAE. They have little economy outside of oil and consumption. Nobody imports Saudi goods or services. If another country supplied the oil and Saudi disappeared the world would not blink.

  22. Possible that it would not be an all out war. China would like a short taisN war with us stayyout. China totally implodes if west stops imports. Chins would implode if west dropped imports by only 20%. Xiaoping knew this. Xi should know this but no guarantee he won't do something stupid. Putin did the stupid thing. The best argument for supporting Ukraine is to lower risk of xi having a go.
