    Thing is, they need to bring their help and the help won’t be happy if their families are left high and dry. These people are just too fucking stupid

        Oh I am sure they planned and maybe even got the Saudis to consult. But I still think they are too stupid to realize the flaws of those plans. Even if they were as smart as they think they are, it’s difficult to predict how things will work after the civilization they depend on for their power collapses. Hell, it probably doesn’t matter how smart you are, such a scenario is inherently unpredictable.

        Someone last year was talking about plans being discussed involving “obedience collars” which I assume are just shock collars that have the ability to kill.
