The Saudis buy American arms that they don't need
White Elephants
By Uri Avnery
Well, the Saudis are selling oil to the Americans for dollars. A lot of oil, a lot of dollars. The United States, with a huge gap in its balance of trade, cannot afford to lose these billions. So, in order to make it possible for the US to carry this burden, the Saudis must give back at least a part of the money. How quite simple: they buy American arms that they don't need.
