Agreed. Your comment brought to mind, but Michael Hudson goes into it (among other things) in this article, but if all else fails, I don’t see it as out of the question that the US will go so far as to seek to destroy the gulf’s oil, if they can’t control it.
We’re dealing with the most deranged, murderous regime in all of history (IMO). If it were not for the threat of MAD and equal retaliation, I’d even say the US would already be carpet-nuking Russia and China, as well as peppering them with biowarfare and chemical weapons. These neocon hegemonists are utterly irredeemable and unhinged in every sense of the word.

They will destroy Saudi Arabia before they allow another regional competitor to gain more ground
