The reason is simple, because Saudi Arabia is too wealthy!This country lying on the oil gold mine, the hard-earned "money capability" has given itself seven layers of armor: military-filled American-style equipment, diplomatically bound China-US-Russia, economically crushing the global energy lifeline, religiously crushing the heart of the Islamic world.
Observer Network Weekly Military Observation: Has Saudi Arabia bought a strong defense?
Many people know that Saudi Arabia is particularly rich because the ground is full of oil.
It is surprising that such a rich country, but not a few countries dare to fight the idea.
The reason behind this is quite interesting to say.
Saudi Arabia has spent a lot of thought on protecting itself.
Every year, it takes a large amount of money to buy the world's most advanced weapons and equipment.
Such top-notch things as American fighter jets and China's defense systems can be seen in Saudi Arabia.
Although Saudi Arabia's own army doesn't have much actual combat experience, many big countries are willing to help it maintain its security by buying these weapons.
Taking the big deal it signed with the United States in 2025 and calculating it will give the United States $300 million a day, this is not a small amount.
In addition to buying weapons, Saudi Arabia also has a set when dealing with other countries.
It maintains friendly relations with the United States, does business with China, and also cooperates with Russia on oil issues.
This balanced approach that does not offend either side has allowed Saudi Arabia to make many friends internationally.
If any country wants to attack Saudi Arabia, it must first think about the attitude of other big countries.
The United States, in particular, has had agreements with Saudi Arabia since 1945, and the U.S. fleet has been stationed near Saudi Arabia, which also adds a layer of protection to Saudi Arabia.
More importantly, Saudi Arabia’s gas comes mostly from oil.
Its oil reserves account for one-fifth of the world’s oil reserves, exporting large amounts of crude oil every day.
If there is a problem with Saudi Arabia's oil supply, oil prices around the world will definitely rise sharply, perhaps to 200 US dollars per barrel, and the global economy will be affected by that time.
So no matter which country it is, it does not want Saudi Arabia's oil production to go wrong.
This happened once in 2014, when Saudi Arabia intentionally increased oil production, resulting in oil prices dropping suddenly.
Countries that previously generally criticized Saudi Arabia for being affected by their own domestic economies later had to change their attitudes.
Saudi Arabia is also very good at investing its wealth in the world.
It has a sovereign fund with more than 700 billion dollars in it, which has invested in many large international companies.
Whether it’s real estate in London, or Hollywood film companies, or even some famous football clubs, there’s Saudi investment behind it.
In this way, the economies of many countries are bound to Saudi Arabia, and naturally not to blame it.
In the Islamic world, Saudi Arabia's status is also very special.
The two holiest cities of Muslims, Mecca and Medina, are all in Saudi Arabia.
Every year, tens of millions of Muslims go on pilgrimage there.
If any country dares to attack Saudi Arabia, it would equal the guilt of two billion Muslims worldwide.
This religious influence is more effective than any weapon.
The geographical conditions of Saudi Arabia have also helped a lot.
Most of its territory is desert. It is extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night. It is difficult for foreign troops to fight in this environment.
Moreover, Saudi Arabia's main oil facilities are built along the coast of the Persian Gulf, just within the protection of the US fleet.
Saudi Arabia made a smart move, putting key facilities in a safe place.
In terms of domestic management, the Saudi royal family is also good to the people.
Citizens can enjoy free medical care and education, and hydroelectricity for home use is also subsidized.
During the previous epidemic, the royal family also distributed money directly to the people.
When the lives of ordinary people are guaranteed, the country will be relatively stable.
Saudi Arabia is also promoting a "Vision 2030" plan and has invested a lot of money to build future cities, which not only improves the environment, but also creates many job opportunities for the people.
The people's lives are getting better and better, and the country will naturally become more stable.
In recent years, Saudi Arabia has often held some international sports events and cultural activities, hoping to let more people know about itself.
For example, the introduction of famous football players, also hosted major events such as the World Cup.
These practices have also allowed many countries to see the development and changes of Saudi Arabia.
In fact, Saudi Arabia can always be safe, not just by having money.
It relies on buying weapons for protection, managing relations with the great powers, stabilizing countries with oil, spending money in the world, winning respect by religion, and taking care of the lives of the domestic people, so many ways to put together, to keep their own security.
This way of managing the country with wisdom is also a wake-up point for those countries who want to develop safely and steadily: there are not enough resources to use these resources to stand firm in the complex international environment.
I believe that Saudi Arabia will continue to develop in a good direction in the future and will also bring inspiration to more countries.
