As far as Kashoggi I don’t really care. Not our business or problem.
My problem is how we seem to be the lackeys of the Saudis. The way GWB rushed the family onto planes on 911. What on earth do they need the hundreds of billions they spend on tanks on air craft? For what? Do they even have pilots to fly those planes? How useful are planes and tanks against a coup from Wahhabis if that day ever comes?
I hope you are right about the Prince, because so far the Saudis have always been duplicitous.
If there is any example of the Deep State it is Saudi Arabia.
We, and the British, created the damn state among possibly the most ignorant and venal people on Earth.
Cooperation between the oil companies, armaments industry, the military and politicians is what sustains the nation.
Should we step aside the place would rather quickly return to its original state since we are it’s only hope to accept the future.
This, like Iraq, is the outcome of f.u. British foreign policy or nation building.
