He doesn’t want to go...but he will. Decent people are afraid of being a fugitive....and frankly, if he gets deported to Saudi, and if they determine he has shirked his guard duty - well that’s probably not good at all.
So he’ll go. I just find his insight interesting - that the era of royal family rule could go down in flames to an Arab Spring/ISIS/Popular Uprising/Iranian inspired movement.
Time the Saudis fought for themselves instead of calling in Uncle Sam every time their chestnuts are in the fire.
