So...nothing. It was an inside job and the Saudi's were glad to help. If you don't believe it, look up lucky Larry and follow the money.

The expression that there’s no such thing as a stupid question has been proven by you to be false quite often.
Couldn’t you have looked it up yourself?

Energy and Economic Ties

• • Oil Security: Saudi Arabia manages massive global petroleum reserves, helping stabilize energy prices and ensuring oil is transacted globally. [1, 2]
  • Investment Commitments: The Kingdom pledged nearly $1 trillion in investments directed toward U.S. infrastructure, technology, and manufacturing. [1]
  • Commercial Partnerships: Large-scale defense and civilian technology agreements, such as the 30-year civil nuclear framework, ensure Saudi contracts go to American firms instead of competitors like China. [1, 2]

Geopolitical and Defense Cooperation

• • Regional Deterrence: Washington views Riyadh as a key anchor for stability and counter-terrorism in the Middle East, reinforced by major arms sales and defense coordination. [1, 2]
  • Countering Adversaries: Close ties prevent regional rivals and global competitors, such as China and Russia, from gaining exclusive strategic footholds in the Persian Gulf. [1]
  • Diplomatic Alignment: The U.S. relies on Saudi influence to pursue broader Middle East integration and diplomatic milestones with Israel. [1]You

• Regional Security: The U.S. and Saudi Arabia partner closely to counter Iran, which has driven massive U.S. arms agreements to support Gulf defense. [1, 2]

• Diplomatic Goals: Saudi cooperation is viewed as the key to broader Arab-Israeli normalization (like discussions involving the Abraham Accords). [1, 2]

Now don’t go off on another unrelated tangent again after I owned you.
