The Saudi’s first attack was dumping huge amounts of oil on the market to destabilize American Oil production. That in turn is costing hundreds of thousands of jobs and forcing the closure of many of our wells.
Now, they are doubly pissed off that they are allowing the Iranians (their mortal enemies) to get nukes and are fearful that the catastrophe in Yemen will reach them. Obama is in deep doo doo here.
The Saudis will milk this for all its worth, and bomb the crap out of Yemen in the mean time.
What good is an Air Force if you cannot use it to defend your country?
