My comments : The end is nigh. 

The Saudis do not work hard. They are a lazy people.
For decades they have been burning oil money extravagantly.
They import cheap slave labour from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh
They treat their foreign workers like dirt.
The Saudis cannot do anything on their own. 
They have been using oil money to wallpaper over everything.
Now with the oil prices crashing and that silly war in Yemen, they have no money.

This country will collapse. That whole region will collapse. 

They will drive their cars until there is no more gas in the tank. 
Then they will get off their cars and just stand there
Bewildered. Not knowing what to do.
Some will turn to old fashioned brigandage.

Like Somalia, like Abu Sayyaf. Just wait and see.
