Problem with our “Instant Info” Age. Often the info is a lie or mistaken but treated as the truth. Instant-TV-Dinner Lives.

It was a joke about the Saudis hiring their work done snarky.

The drone story is fake news.

If they are, are they palatable?

May not have been a drone but a bunch of airborne chickens. So it was a coop

While it was true that Saudis hired lots of others to do the work, that is no longer true.

I had the opportunity in recent years to work in an extremely limited manner on a humongous Saudi project. On two occasions, I met young (much younger than me) Saudi engineers that not only knew their stuff but were hard at work as actual engineers. That is, the engineers did not just hold the position but were working as engineers.

Years ago, the Saudis would have the job but did not really engage.

I’ll admit, the younger of the two was not the lead engineer but came to learn how inteernational engineers work together. But, he was keen on being a part and engaging with all the various foreigners he knew as e mail addresses.

No, I think a drone, toy or not is concerning near the Palace. Easy to use for reconnaissance and easily dismissed as a nothing event.

There was a coup and the drone’s the cover story because the coup failed, and His Majesty wants to hush it up.

My thoughts too...
