No wonder we never truly reconsider our relationship to Saudi Arabia, Donald Trump notwithstanding.

I remember this discussion about Saudi Arabia and Iran, with the consensus being that S.A. is spasming because of domestic instability.

What happens if the Saudis sell their $117 billion in US bonds? Could Americans not repay that?
