The oil kingdoms are going to be in for a rude shock eventually because the US has pulled way back on globalized trade for everyone and guaranteeing freedom of navigation on the high seas everywhere. Once someone else hardup for energy decides to hijack a few tankers or just blows ther shit out of a few of them the oil kingdoms are screwed big time.. They're dry, arid places with few water sources to feed themselves and once the rest of the world decides to either go "green" or otherwise invade those arrogant pricks and just take it from them they're utterly screwed.. Welcome to reality sheik!
I agree. We've supported the kingdom to the tune of billions. They still operate their country like gold plated cavemen, stoning girls and killing anyone that questions authority. Awful people that only get by through virtue of being slightly less awful than the others around them. You'd think the financial and military support would keep them from cutting oil production, but you'd be wrong. They still try and stick it in our asses every chance they get. That oil will dry up one day. it's a finite resource. Once it does, their seat at the table will be yanked out from under them.
