    Nah, the US just backs one of the many “princes” to usurp the throne. Failing that, they do a full-on invasion.

      They can’t even do that. They might bomb cities but they cannot do a full invasion. The land is Massive with mountains, large desert and extreme heat. And if they touch Mecca or Madinah you mobilize 1 billion Muslims around the world.

        Mountains, desert, and extreme heat haven’t stopped the US from invading in the past. They’d be focusing on key areas.

      Impossible for a non-Islamic state to invade Saudi Arabia. There would be a profound religious war. The crown’s whole legitimacy comes from them protecting Mecca.

        They derive all their power from their oil supply and their close ties to the US (which they get because of their oil supply).

        Not at all. Most Muslims don’t care about Saudi rulers and see them as massive Hypocrites collaborating with israel.

        Unless their politicians hide inside Mecca it’s not likely anyone will undertake action.

        If you think two sentences is rambling then maybe you’re the simple-minded one. Sorry you have trouble understanding, but let the adults talk.

            Yes, I’m sure you and your three alt accounts are super adults for caring about upvotes and downvotes. Here, have a downvote.

              Lol I’ve never created an alt for voting in my life. How old are you? An ignorant baby? Or a stubborn geriatric?
