Hi, I was wondering how feasible it would be for Australia to invade Saudia Arabia and take over their oil production primarily.
Given the ineffectiveness of the saudi military, the fact all critical infrastructure including military infrastructure is run mostly by foreign workers, these workers comprising around 27% of the saudia arabias population and supposing america DOESN'T fire on Australian troops. What forces would Australia need to take over the essential aspects of the country?
My uninformed opinion is that it could be done with:
- A force of 5000 and a few tanks
- Australia declaring war on SA and placing a bounty on prominent heads of government. And contracting foreign workers in the country as a security force, as well as rehiring the foreign soldiers already in the country.
- Essentially Australia invading and declaring war would be such a moral shock, that most of the foreign workers in the country including military contractors will instantly switch sides. In addition, Australia could offer very high salaries and Australian citizenship for u.s soldiers who join them.
One thing that worries me is how Australia would logistically support the invasion force for any length of time, but I'm hoping given Australias familiarity with u.s weapon systems, that they could use u.s made saudi arabian equipment already in the country. Abram tanks and infantry fighting vehicles come to mind.
