“Saudi Arabia had a revolution. New people in charge.”
New people are in charge - but from the same family. In the typical Gulf Arab view, they would be foolish if they did not try to take some advantage of other peoples’ hopes for change - to play them to gain some advantage.
No doubt some policy beliefs are different, but we have to be careful about projecting our hopes onto the new guys, until they are proven at least three times over.
Definitely, they face a different situation, with Iran growing so powerful and aggressive, and the Saudi budget under such pressure. They may just need to pull in their surrogate jihadi horns for a while, and focus on protecting their own rears, until conditions improve for them.
There was a silent coup in June.
