Why not? What's wrong with all their men? Then why don't they just hire some rag-head savages from elsewhere in the region to do their fighting? They've got the money, "freedom isn't free".
and would have to approach Trump (with money) and get US assistance. Trump might say no...
Hell to the no!
Take the oil! and blow up the bad-guys whenever and wherever needed from the air. Confiscate the Soddie money and food-bomb the starving masses with bundles clearly marked "A gift from the American People".
The fact that they are holding the 30-odd princes in a facility guarded by the western contractors they brought in...means they don’t trust their own ‘raghead’ army or the internal Saudi militia that does exist.
As these stories of the interrogation and torture get out...I think these will make the remaining insiders question the authority of the King, and where things will go. Maybe there’s a year of this speculation period...holding of the princes...etc. I also don’t think bin Alal will probably never see his release. They will have to pick someone to be executed and be the blunt part of their demonstration of power. He’s the likely guy.
I’ll also make this comment. A number of these folks hold insider info on money-laundering and it might actually lead back to a number of Americans (perhaps even bigwigs attached to the GOP donor machine), and the King will have a listing of their names and the money within the Saudi machine. Presently, those folks with money in the Saudi laundry system have a lot to worry about. They might not ever be able to get their money back.
So it’s not just the money of the princes at stake here....it’s the outsiders who were using the system as well.
