I read this earlier but it reminds me a bit of the 2005 film Syriana. I think it's the logical path and will only benefit this nation for the long term. Frankly, this gives the Saudis more options given the oil market fluctuations which this article clearly illustrates. Economically one might speculate that this will increase the price of oil futures in years to come, but this is the eventual scenario regardless.
