Can We Sue Germany for WWII?

[Pat Mustard]

What are they going to do, come move the buildings they own here over to SA? Perhaps seize Chase by force of arms?

I don't think you're thinking this through. The interconnection of the world's economy means that every country worth mentioning has hooks on every other country worth mentioning -- especially America, a favorite investment destination. We don't need Saudi cooperation to impound funds generated in America by Saudi investments.

But then the Saudis could decide to stop selling us oil, and then we'd have a real problem on our hands.  What you've described is more of a cold war, not a lawsuit.  And I really don't think that pissing off Saudi Arabia is a good idea.

The US is virtually energy independent these days, and the majority of its imports come from Canada. KSA doesn't have much of an oil leverage currently.
