"....... it would be a simple matter of leaning on the arabs to stop the money flow."

Goodbrad,

IMO, the west doesn't want to "lean" on the Saudis and Qatar because they supply so much of the world's oil, which is traded in USD and therefore supports the petrodollar as the default global reserve currency. If the USD loses that status QE wouldn't work, ie they couldn't print their way out of their debt problems.

If anyone has another explanation I'm all ears.
