The Sa’udis may be considering China as a primary ally to replace an increasingly flaky and unreliable USA. One awkward point, however: English is the second language of choice throughout the region, preferred by Asian guest workers as well as by Westerners.

Your talk is cheap Saudi. The Federal Reserve can simply buy your securities and call it QE Saudi…..I doubt the markets even burp.

Another reason why progressives are correct to condemn fracking: If we were still as dependent on Sa’udi oil as we were ten years ago, even plaintiffs’ bar lapdogs in Congress would not be dumb enough to try this.
