Hey just to post something related with the topic:
US send troops - or experts- to help SA to protect their installations, because if SA fall, Petro-dollar may fall with it, followed by US, or a part of US, economy.
So basically US has to no other choice than to protect one of the most authoritarian and regressive regime in the world.
Talibans is still a problem but it's not related to the topic, they threatened to "hurt more than anyone" the US after Trump's dramatic break from negotiations on the conflict
The US will be just fine if middle eastern oil collapsed. There will be consequences but US and Canada have more oil than everyone else in the world and the US has more oil than anyone else , more natural gas than anyone else , and more nuclear energy than anyone else.
The reality is much worse. The US supports Saudi Arabia because they are more willing to buy our weapons to commit atrocities and they aren't as mad that Jews live in Israel.
