Thing is, they need to bring their help and the help won't be happy if their families are left high and dry. These people are just too fucking stupid

They probably have a small group of people whom they treat very well specifically so they won't shoot them in the back once they're the only ones with the guns in post-apocalyptic world.

I suspect they have some sort of plan how to solve that conundrum. We should ask Curtis Yarvin.

Oh I am sure they planned and maybe even got the Saudis to consult. But I still think they are too stupid to realize the flaws of those plans. Even if they were as smart as they think they are, it's difficult to predict how things will work after the civilization they depend on for their power collapses. Hell, it probably doesn't matter how smart you are, such a scenario is inherently unpredictable.

Blinkered I'd say. Self-obsessed. Neverending greed is a mental condition. Either way, it has very little to do with intelligence imo.

Someone last year was talking about plans being discussed involving "obedience collars" which I assume are just shock collars that have the ability to kill.
