Sleeping with the Devil: How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude

Sleeping with the Devil: How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude

Robert Baer

Baer erzählt uns, wie die zynische Beziehung unserer Regierung zu unserem Verbündeten im Nahen Osten und die Abhängigkeit Amerikas von saudischem Öl uns zunehmend anfällig für wirtschaftliche Katastrophen machen und uns dem Risiko weiterer Terroranschläge

Seit Jahrzehnten herrscht zwischen den USA und Saudi-Arabien eine „Interessenharmonie“. Amerika verließ sich auf die Saudis, wenn es um billiges Öl, politische Stabilität im Nahen Osten und lukrative Geschäftsbeziehungen für die Vereinigten Staaten ging, während es gleichzeitig einen unersättlichen Markt für die riesigen Ölreserven des Königreichs darstellte. Da Geld und Öl frei zwischen Washington und Riad fließen, haben sich die Vereinigten Staaten in ihren Beziehungen zu den Saudis und der herrschenden Al-Sa’ud-Familie sicher gefühlt. Aber der Verfall im Kern unserer „Freundschaft“ mit den Saudis wurde auf dramatische Weise offenbart, als sich herausstellte, dass fünfzehn der neunzehn Flugzeugentführer vom 11. September saudische Staatsbürger waren.
