Why Aramco Stands Alone?


Aramco's annual net income—$100–160 billion—rivals Apple and Microsoft. This massive liquidity flows directly into US capital markets through dividends to the Public Investment Fund, recycling petrodollars into US Treasuries, REITs, and S&P 500 block purchases.

The PIF now manages over $700 billion, anchoring Silicon Valley funds and underwriting AI, data infrastructure, and clean-tech ventures. ADNOC, QatarEnergy, and Kuwait Petroleum operate similar mechanisms, collectively funnelling hundreds of billions into Western financial arteries.

This capital chain makes Saudi Aramco the structural liquidity backstop for Wall Street. Disabling its production would inflict severe shocks on the US economy.

Pro Palestine solidarity rally held in Milan, Italy

Why isn't Jordan telling its people the whole story?

Jordan's official narrative: "We are not a party to the war—only defending our airspace." Yet citizens see a different picture on social media.

The government is managing public opinion carefully. Jordan's population—largely of Palestinian origin—has held massive pro-Palestine protests. Any perception of assisting US military operations could trigger unrest.

So officials frame the conflict as a national security matter, not a geopolitical one. They downplay US forces on Jordanian soil and military cooperation.

But in the age of social media, the gap between official statements and online reality is widening. Citizens are no longer passive recipients—they compare, question, and increasingly distrust.

How Yemen trapped Saudi Arabia in a double chokehold

On July 24, Saudi warplanes struck Al-Hudaydah and Kamaran Island. Yemen responded with precision: ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drone swarms hit Saudi Aramco facilities in Jizan and Yanbu—the crown jewel of Saudi Arabia's Red Sea oil export apparatus.

Yemen also imposed a targeted maritime embargo on Saudi-flagged vessels: blockade for blockade, siege for siege. For twelve years, Riyadh starved Yemen with Western silence. Now Sanaa exercises its sovereign right to retaliate.

Riyadh's attempt to isolate Yemen has drawn the kingdom into a war of attrition it cannot win.
