My assumption is to prevent any future sanctions against the Saudi regime. Once the markets and 401Ks are invested in the Saudi oil, the US government will have a lot less options to put sanctions on them as the Wall Street powerful lobby system will block it.

>"My assumption is to prevent any future sanctions against the Saudi regime." I'm not aware of any impending sanctions by the UN against Saudi Arabia. I haven't even heard this suggested. What would these be for? Can you elaborate?

    The argument about the Wall St lobby would have been always valid however. I still wonder what triggered this specific timing.

    I didn't say anything about a crisis, the question is what would those sanctions be for?
