You think Saudi Arabia would win?

There isn't a compelling reason yet to invade, they're still willing to sell to us and they aren't mining water preventing us from receiving oil from other people.

It's not that, you would need to HOLD the oil fields and govern the region. Status quo is the only acceptable choice at the foreign policy level. Americans who consider themselves the best of the best work every day to service the kingdom.

Why wouldn't they ? The USA lost in Afganistan, and Saudi Arabia is much more advanced.
