What kind of war? Total occupation and regime change?
---

Only if all other options to fix the situation there had been exhausted.

It's always best to avoid war when possible; it's just that it isn't always possible to do so.
---

No. Awful government and politics but it would cause more problems than it solves and so many people would die.

Oh yeah another quagmire in the desert is just what America needs right now.

For their crimes in Yemen, yes

But America supports Saudi Arabia and is funding that genocide so America needs to have a total regime change as well
---

Absolutely fucking not.

One nation under Satan

They are literally the worst thing in the middle East. We bitch about Iran, but SA is the sink hole.
---

Hell no, fuck no.
---

No just a few carpet bombings
---

Just refuse to trade with them. No countries should trade with them until they stop being assholes

Going to war with Saudi Arabia could possibly trigger World War 3 so that's a no.

There's a reason why we play ball with them even though we don't want to.
---

No, but I feel like the US and any major country should take a stand against their bullshit and stop associating with them on any level.

But that's not going to happen and we all know why.

The only way we can give Saudi Arabia the boot is if we find an alternative fuel source that renders oil obsolete or superfluous.
---

No, sanction them like we did to South Africa.
---

Yes since they caused 9/11

If we're going to go to war with Saudi, we need to do it in such a fashion that would make Genghis Khan and Attila rise up from their graves to ask us to tone it down a hair.

Let's just do what we do best and arm an uprising?

You're either going to unite the kingdom around the monarchy as a symbol of national and religious resistance in the face of foreign ("crusader") aggression, or you're going to make it disintegrate and create another black hole of instability in one of the most important oil producing regions in the world. Before Uncle Sam tries taking a country apart once again, he should first have some realistic plan of how to stick it back together afterwards. Don't kid yourself that a foreign policy so brainless it can be summed up with the word "BANG!" is a good thing.

Destroy Mecca with an airstrike, and you risk spreading chaos across the globe so dangerous that no American will be safe anywhere outside of America in your lifetime.

And people who want to see Saudi Arabia punished for its barbaric treatment of its subjects but can't think of a better way of doing it than indiscriminately incinerating Saudi Arabia's subjects with incendiaries and high explosives are so disturbingly stupid they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a ballot paper, ever.

This.

China and Russia are not gonna sit by as America basically claims the largest oil fields in the world.

Possibly.

The torturers, those who gave the marching orders, and those that ratified to occurance, should all be held liable for their actions. If the Saudi government refuses to cooperate in this endeavor then they may need a little bit of freedom.
