- aggieben 18y agoWhat I'm arguing is that being able to tell the Saudis to kiss off means we won't ever have a reason to invade them. Realize I'm using "the Saudis" as a proxy here. But further: Can you imagine a scenario in which the following things are true: a) we buy, say, 40% less oil overall b) we have the same tensions with SA and Iran as we do now c) SA and Iran are as rich as they are now (translate: capable of financing terror groups to fight proxy wars) ? I can't.
