It’s not Russia. It’s not China. It’s Saudi Arabia. And the strange part is that Saudi Arabia does not have nuclear weapons, it does not have China-level manufacturing power, and it doesn’t even have enough water to sustain itself. If oil alone made a country powerful, then Iran, Venezuela, Libya, and Iraq would have enjoyed the same protection. They all had oil too. Yet while their economies were sanctioned, destabilized, or invaded, the United States has repeatedly gone out of its way to protect Saudi Arabia even deploying its own army to defend the kingdom. In 1990, when Saddam Hussein’s Iraq threatened Saudi Arabia, the United States deployed nearly half a million American soldiers to defend the desert kingdom during the Gulf War. And after the tragedy of 9/11 when 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens America still did not sanction Saudi Arabia or break ties with it. Instead, the United States launched long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq while maintaining close relations with Riyadh. The contrast becomes even clearer when you look at other conflicts: when Russia invaded Ukraine, the U.S. froze $300 billion of Russian sovereign wealth, cut Russian banks off from the global SWIFT payment system, and imposed sweeping sanctions to cripple its economy. But when Saudi Arabia launched its military campaign in Yemen leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths and what the UN called one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises the U.S. response was very different. Instead of sanctions or military opposition, America continued selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, provided intelligence support, and even refueled Saudi fighter jets mid-air so they could continue bombing operations. So the real question is this: what is so special about a desert nation like Saudi Arabia that even the world’s most powerful superpower protects it? How did a country with no major industry, limited water, and no nuclear weapons become so strategically important? To understand that, we have to go back to 1971, when the United States faced a massive economic crisis and President Richard Nixon ended the dollar’s convertibility to gold an event known as the Nixon Shock, which effectively collapsed the Bretton Woods monetary system and reshaped global finance.
