These Saudis screwing up things around the world. Tanking markets, funding anti-fracking movements, funding Wahabbist mosques all over America, funding 9/11, creating ISIS to create more Sunni theocracies.
Someday, some nation might get it’s backbone back and notice that they have a very weak sister military, and then decide to just take the oil and their assets in that nation.
I fully agree with your post. There is just no upside to the House of Saud. Auto correct tried to make that House of Sand, and that might be right.
They are dreadful even to each other, and there has been another round of arrests of Saudi princes, including Bin Naef, who was formerly close to the CIA and British intelligence. The interminable war in Yemen was MBS’s idea, and no one in Riyadh dares call it a failure. This oil price war is his latest reckless move. I would not be surprised to see a coup against him, by the end of this year.
