The US military is now waiting for the final decision of Saudi Arabia. However, Trump also said that the United States has become a major producer of crude oil and no longer needs to import oil from the Middle East. At the same time, he said: If we decide to take action, Saudi Arabia will participate. They will actively participate, including paying.
In other words, if the US military goes to war, Trump hopes that Saudi Arabia can pay military expenses. In other words, if the United States decides to launch military action against Iran, Saudi Arabia may have to pay the price.
From the perspective of Saudi Arabia, although the shadow of Iran can be seen in this incident, there is no conclusive evidence. What's more, the Saudi oil economy has been severely sanctioned. If you are bent on revenge at this time, you will retaliate against the Houthi armed forces' attack on Iran. Saudi Arabia is likely to become a big head at that time. You know, the reason why the US military didn't wage war against Iran was that it was afraid of falling into the quagmire of the Middle East as it did during the Iraq war. But at this time, as long as Saudi Arabia takes the lead, I believe that the United States does not mind waging war with foreign countries.
By the end of 20 18, the United States had sold140,000 precision-guided munitions to Saudi Arabia, including more than 8,000 laser-guided bombs,10,000 general-purpose bombs and 5,000 tail kits for transforming ordinary bombs into laser-guided or GPS-guided bombs.
Once Saudi Arabia is willing to bear hundreds of billions of dollars in military spending, the US military can throw these 6.5438+0.4 million bombs into Iran. However, where does Saudi Arabia have so much money? Earlier, The New York Times learned from American officials that if Iran attacked the US military or accelerated the development of nuclear weapons, the US might send up to 6,543,800 soldiers to the Middle East. In other words, if the US military wants to go to war, it needs to send 70,000 more troops, reaching1.20,000.
