The Saudi diplomat is keeping his distance and has to lean a little. Reading too much into it? Time will tell.
Wish I knew more about internal Saudi politics to understand how the avg Sunni is taking these developments. 50 years of near-genocidal Wahhabist preaching has surely created at least some level of opposition to rapprochement among the more conservative types.
The most likely method for western interference in KSA is to stir up that crowd and try to unite them under the banner of one of the old guard CIA-connected princes that MBS has under light house arrest.
Going to keep my eyes open for palace intrigues in the absence of good street level English reporting.
Trying to get the American public stirred up against MBS is a Russian faceplant. MBS's policy ,which threatens America is not different than any other Saudi leader in the last 40 or 50 years, which I might add is not talked about or acknowledged.
If Chris is any indication ,then 12:23's pathetic attempt to stir crap up will not work. Maybe 12:23 and his peers get year end bonuses for how many people they think they got to froth at the mouth.
What the fuck are you even talking about schizo. Take your meds. I'm not stirring anything up by musing on KSA politics.
He doesn't have any meds, obviously untreated
