#2 The price of wheat is not coming down. Drought and now floods and rain are limiting the planting of corn in Indiana, Ohio, and Illi.

You can't eat money.

#4 What the House of Saud is doing is guaranteeing those 10 Egyptian divisions will be available in case the Iranians try to take Saudi Arabia. Expect a lot more of these 'soft loans' to the Egyptians over the next two years.

Then Egypt won't want to go to war with Israel in the meantime. It wouldn't do for the Egyptian divisions to be trounced thoroughly by the Israelis just before going off to face the Medes and the Persians... Or worse, have to break off being trounced to turn and face the other way when the loans are called. It does dreadful things to both troop and M&P army morale, it does.

#6 It wouldn't do for the Egyptian divisions to be trounced thoroughly by the Israelis just before going off to face the Medes and the Persians...

The issue is ensuring that the Egyptian divisions don't get bought-off by the Medes and the Persians. If they get trounced by the Israelis, well, they'll take pressure off Hesb'allah and Hamas and they be won't be around help the Saudis face the Persians.

It'll be considered money well spent in any case.
