Saudis say they will defend themselves, as Trump warns IranSaudi Arabia does not want war but will not hesitate to defend itself against Iran, a top Saudi diplomat said Sunday after the kingdom's energy sector was targeted this past week amid heightened tensions in the Persian Gulf. Burning flags only creates more anger towards the offenders. I am 🇨🇦 but would NEVER treat another country's flag with disrespect EVER. I would give my life to protect ours just the same as others would do for their country. Please let's de-escalate this situation now. Not to defend Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 in any way, but talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Almost all their oil revenues goes to the USA 🇺🇸 in the form of never ending weapons contracts. The day they cancel these contracts is the day the USA 🇺🇸 walks away.
