    If the west was going to regime change Saudi Arabia they would have done it after 9/11, which was planned financed and perpetrated by Saudis. We invaded Afghanistan and Iraq instead, two enemies of Saudi Arabia that had nothing to do with it. Israeli and Saudi dick are equally down America’s throat and I honestly don’t know which one NATO would side with.

      Saudi Arabia is a well-tamed bitch. There was no need to go after Saudi Arabia after 9/11 because they were already fully under control. Nah, a tragedy like that is best capitalized by taking down “rogue” enemy states like Iraq. Just look at the countries that the US has involved itself in, including Syria, Libya, Somalia, etc… these are countries that weren’t playing ball. It’s looking like Iran’s turn is soon. After all these countries have been fully taken care of, the US can take down the tamed bitches like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Basic divide and conquer, oldest trick in the book.

        I don’t think Iran will happen. For multitudes of reasons. They are not an easy target like the rest you have listed.

        Best they can try is destabilize like always. Just toppling their theocratic regime would be a good outcome already. For that the general populace would have to live in squalor though. But they somehow keep things afloat.
