What the Saudi Royals are doing is destroying the U.S.A.'s ability to finance the access and pumping of petroleum and natural gas from shale sources. It is too expensive to extract, and can not compete with $20 a barrel petroleum from Saudi Arabian oil fields.

There are a lot of big players upset about the Saudis actions here. Iran's first nuke may not be pointed at Israel when it launches. As for the Russians, some of their warheads may not be properly accounted for. That Saudi oil would not be worth .20 cents a barrel if it becomes irradiated overnight.

As terrible as the prospect of feeling the full brunt of the depression that we've seen signs of coming the past 6 years would be, it is far worse for other nations. Worse, they value human life far less than we do and would be less hesitant to embrace extreme solutions.

Interestingly enough, I found an article that supports my own speculation at this (safe) link:

Op-Ed: Saudi Arabia is First on the Iranian Nuke Hit List

Very, VERY interesting article. The House of Saud is in a quandary, but Hell, they’ve been there before.

Their investment banker in the USA back in the late 60s and into the late 70s was a Jew married to a Lebanese Muslim. He used to call his wife, “my wild Arab.”

The Saudis are nothing, if not, practical. I suspect in the end they will be bombed into oblivion by the Persians.

The Turks will bomb the Persians into nothing - Iran is held together by terror wielded by the Persians (who make up less than 50% of the population), and the Turks themselves will be obliterated by the Russians.

I suspect after the radioactive dust settles the Muslims here in the US won’t be rattling any sabers, but that’s just may guess.
