OH WAIT!

That already happened.

Never mind.

If enough countries in the region go Democratic and pro getting Israel out of the ME, by using oil as the weapon. Cutting them off isn't an option. Saudi produces so much oil that keeps the World turning, will Russia back the US and Israel or Arab Countries?

Some of the posts here are not thinking very deeply into this. The general populace of these countries hate Israel, for good reasons. If enough get together and use their Democratic will, the outcome might be very different than the wishful thinkers imagine.

The Royal families shit on the peasantry too long and too much. Now the Peasants are revolting.

This is about economic circumstance mainly ...
It's easy to buy a few rich Princes and dictators and get them to carry out your wishes. Tougher to buy a whole country. Many of those rulers were puppets of the West and citizens of the West got the benefit. The downside was Israel doing as it pleased and a few million Palestinians got fucked.
