it,s not about economic war dear, it,s millitary war.....saudi arabia has even more powerfull weapons and economy than italy, (i am taliking about italy alone not NATO as collectively power) do you think saudia can stand or defeat pakistan .....it,s not about your economy, it,s about your overall millitary capability, it,s about what you can do given war times conditions....modern day wars cannot be won based on number of weapons or how many light year your economy is ahead of your enemy......it was, is and will be about strategy+intelligence+weapons and then your economy...and history has proved it, ie arab israeli war.....war is not about showing weapons, it,s like how far you can go on the path of death......and italy has lost it since world war 2
