The Saudi’s need us to keep their oil flowing yet continue to fund radical West hating Wahhabi version of islam. It’s time for the house of Saudi to make some changes if they want our help. Fracking has ended their reign of economic terror on the US. They need us way more than we need them.
We don't get the bulk of our oil imports from the Saudis. They supply about 11%. Canada, Mexico, Nigeria, Columbia, and Venezuela supply significant amounts. We get 40% of our oil from Canada. If the US becomes energy independent, Canada will be hurt more than the Saudis.
What reign of economic terror are you referring to? The Saudis have been the ones who have helped stabilize world oil prices and when OPEC threatened reductions in oil production to increase prices, the Saudis increased production to offset them.
They need us way more than we need them.
The global economy, of which we are a part, needs Saudi oil. The Saudis have been very helpful to us in many ways. If the radical Islamic fundamentalists ever topple the House of Saud, the ramifications would be devastating for us and our allies. It would be a replay of Iran ten times over.
