>>The US and UK need to stop funding Saudi Arabia's military
It's the other way around. We need oil, at least for now, so we have to make sure it makes it to the market and Saudis are the major player when it comes to adjusting prices. In exchange, they buy a lot or favors from the power that be...mainly weapons, that provide jobs for US, UK, Germany etc. US could probably overthrow the Saudis in a week if it wanted, and they know.
weasel statement: They would be fighting anyway, oil or no oil, US or no US involvement.
