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.
