But weapons have always flown into Saudi Arabia. They have to be proven both:
1. Not very effective in this war and
2. In general not very useful in the hands of Arabs https://www.meforum.org/441/why-arabs-lose-wars
I don't know Saudi Arabia well enoughto judge about this political enemies. I have read he has made some progress in modernization. Hi megalomaniac "neom" project seems to have failed, at least stalled. He has alienated Qatar, he has sided with the Israelis which could backfire easily from Muslim extremists.
Saudi Arabia brought ugly warfare to Yemen and the war has come back.
Yes. Cheap. Easily available. Can be launched from a Camel. Don't have to attack major facilities. It is enough to attack pipelines in the desert. How much does a drone cost?

1. That prince Salman is a serious politician? I mean, give or take a bown saw?
2. That the conclusion of the former news is wrong? It looked more and more unlikely that this war can be won by Saudi Arabia. Now it looks, it might get lost.
By the way, the Emirates left the war already. Wonder why. If I had to take a guess I would say that a drone attack on the Dubai airport would do wonders to their air traffic. But you never know.
"The Houthi have clown prince Mohammad bin Salman by the balls and can squeeze those at will."
no way. You predicted victory for Saudi Arabia.

I did not make this statement. But
1. I once saw a graph that showed that the re-rise of the UK strongly correlated with oil production. The correlation does not imply causation but it was quite stunning. I looked several times for the article but did not find it again. But it made me always doubt that it was only Thatchers reforms the reinvented the UK.
2. I did not say that the UK is pulling out of the EU because of sinking oil revenues. But please consider the article that I already posted: https://hbr.org/2019/08/did-austerity-in-the-uk-lead-to-the-...

So there may be a connection (less social services, less income from oil, frustrated people). London voted to stay, it was poor areas that voted "leave".
You can also hide money in Switzerland, Liechtenstein or other offshore centers. But if you know the market, you know that it has gotten a little bit tricky, especially since last year.
1. Joining the EU
2. Making reforms (Thatcher)
3. Found oil in the Northern Sea.
The oil is gone and they leave the EU. Lets see how that goes.
Please also take this into consideration: https://hbr.org/2019/08/did-austerity-in-the-uk-lead-to-the-...
Stock options do the same, with a very flawed mathematics (assuming a random walk while having a fat tail distribution). Good luck.
Yah. "hoops" like walking into a bank and walking out with an account and a card in 10 minutes!
"This is not a pain point for any immigrants I know in the US as it's fairly easy to move money around." Sure. Try to sending 10, 100, 1000 or 10.000 USD within the US and then try the same thing in the EU and compare: costs, speed and ease.

Switched this year to Bodhi Linux, wont look back. It is based on Ubuntu.
Any further suggestion? I will definitely try your recommended programs.
No, it would not. Based on the natural and strategic wealth they are sitting on, it would be an stupid idea extraordinary.

Why should this be a problem?
