Looking into the current guys running thing does not make me optimistic. Article is from March 2020. The guy is old... who is really in charge? Anyway. I don't think they will cross Trump, but....
Autocrat, mil backs him, pretty good for that neck of the woods. He has already done some good things. Only 2 years older than the MAN.
The BBC article starts off neutral and quickly dives into derp bulls***. MbS did not start a war in Yemen, it was Iran who did, to try to get into Saudi Arabia.
MbS is a good man, King Salman is a mere figurehead. He had appointed another one of the vast royal clan as CP but that guy turned out to be bad, and so he installed MbS instead. MbS is the appointed Crown Prince and is the total Boss of Saudi Arabia. Saudi is the last thing to worry about at this time. King Salman wanted reform and MbS is carrying it out.
