And it's not that difficult to shut the pipeline down.
uh as has been proven recently.
And then furthermore, if you don't shut down the pipeline, you can shut down the port at Yanbu.
Remember the pipeline runs across Saudi Arabia to Yanbu and it's in the port it's at the port of Yanbu where the oil is offloaded onto ships.
But let's assume they don't even shut down um the Yanbu port and the pipeline continues
to work, uh the Saudis still have to get a lot of that oil through that a lot of that oil out through the Babel Mandab Strait that the Houthis now control.
Uh so you can see that
Saudi oil can be stopped from flowing out of Saudi Arabia by number one destroying the pipeline, number two, destroying Yanbu, and number three, uh thwarting the flow of Saudi.
uh oil through the Babel Mandub Strait.
So the Saudis are in real trouble.
There's just no question about that.
And unsurprisingly the Saudis have asked President Trump for help on three occasions now, twice on September tenth and once on September seventeenth.
And uh
On September tenth, when they twice asked, uh President Trump just flatly rejected their request for help.
And then when they asked for help again on September seventeenth, again because they're so desperate, President Trump hinted that he would be willing to help them.
And it looked like Trump was getting ready uh to attack the Houthis uh to help rescue uh
the Saudis.
But uh Trump then called off the attack.
This was this past Sunday.
He just said we're not going to do it.
