The most dangerous country on earth. Rich as the Arabs from selling oil on the open market, they have a major grudge with Europe and America over the "Reagan
Gambit" that eventually wrecked the
Soviet economy and led to much suffering.
They have been using their oil wealth to build up their military. Their military personnel are being very well paid and are highly motivated by
the suffering their country has endured since the collapse of the Soviet economy.
Europe is buying nearly all of their oil from
the Russian Federation. They can't take any meaningful action against Russia or their oil supply will be
shut off.
