Intro

propped up by the United States government in exchange for gargantuan quantities of oil

This just ain't true. The US has a trade surplus with Saudi Arabia (primarily arms sales and infrastructure projects), and by far the vast majority of Saudi exports go to the EU & Japan. It would be more correct to say the United States allies living standards and defense needs are being propped up. nobs^{It all depends what ISIS is.} 18:17, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps, though it works out the same; by dumping lots of oil in the world market, it depresses prices, affecting American gas consumer: and Canadian, which is kinda hurting Stephen Harper and conservatives in Alberta.Talk to Civic Cat 19:31, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

what's Saudia Arabia up to?

Is the dumping of oil to:

1. muck things up for Iran?
2. muck things up for Russia?
3. by mucking things up for the above two, one mucks things up for Bashar al-Assad?
4. muck things up for Islamic State?
5. like a drug pusher, make it hard for the addicts (such as US), to stay off by offering it cheap?
6. raising money to be more expansionist, as per Islamic State and the bombing of Yemen?

That's 'cause Islam's more potent than American bullshit talk about Freedom, democracy, and liberalism, huh? If Hillary goes to pay homage to King Abdullah after January 2017, will she have a chaperone and approprate head covering, will the Republican nomine go to Arabia anytime in 2016 (or 2017, 2018, etc)?Talk to Civic Cat 19:31, 17 April 2015 (UTC) Yeah, I'm a bit pissed off at things.
