It's no secret because without oil that country doesn't have any other industry and all these rich fucks would go back to being poor goat farmers.
We nedd to eliminate that country anyway they are threat to democracy and thier greed a threat to life on Earth.
"Eliminate" you say? What could you possibly mean by that? cough
Nuclear fire would be ideal, but honestly if we pull military support and equipment sales from them they'd get invaded by their neighbours before the end of next year.
The problem would then solve itself. Along with the entire country's abuse of literally every poor soul that found themselves either abducted or coerced to stay in the country as a slave. They can 'coerce' people to stay by taking their documents to 'verify' them and then just not giving them back, leaving them stranded on the street looking for work in order to eat.
We also shouldn't forget that the Saudi's bankrolled the entire 9/11 shit show.
If the US pulled its support, because it didn't need their oil anymore, Saudi Arabia would be invaded by multiple neighbours within a week. The Saudis have been swinging their dick in other countries' faces for quite some time.
