What's the point, they're not even going to use it. Bunch of savage Yemenis are gonna take all that shit in 20 years anyway.

[garoweboy]

this arabs are rich damn.

[Oxidant]

They are being forced to buy it. They really don't need it

[Enlightened~Sista]

Their previous weapons all got rusted; because they never need to use it plus they didn't have the expertise to maintain them.Caqli dameer, they only want to show off.

[Hyperactive]

wrong ES, they're forced to buy to keep weapon manufactors open and keep it's employees get paid.

i will think nice about my brothers and say they as well want to share the wealth , and maybe just maybe to help it's families!!

[Enlightened~Sista]

Hyper how can they be forced? who is forcing them..I'm sorry but what you just said made no sense to me whatsoever.

[grandpakhalif]

ES, they're being forced by the U.S due to many factors, one is to keep Iran in check and the middle east, the U.S will threaten Saudi to stop buyign oil they're basically lapdogs.

[Enlightened~Sista]

I don't believe that.U.S is dependent on Saudia not the other way around.

Of course they are, US is dependent on the Saudis cause of fuel, Saudis are also dependent on the U.S for defense, wealth.

Were Saudis rich prior to the Industrial age? NO! THey are rich cause the U.S and the west buys their oil!

[Enlightened~Sista]

Well the world doesn't consist of the U.S and the West only..there are tons of other countries they sell oil to?

[Cirwaaq]

Saudi arabia's primiary threats come from it's citizens not other nations. It is on the verge of a revolution and they know it. It would have been wiser investing in riot gear and tear gas.

Alternatively the perception of external threats real or imagined can serve to realign the population from the path of anarcy.

Question is will Saudi Arabia go to war to avert a revolution?

[Hyperactive]

yes they all are forced. they all know they're illegal regimes and america keep them in power against their people's will . they have to obey them and help their economic some how either investments or direct buying from them things they will never need it or know how to use it in million years.
