I guess when you hang up billionaires by their genitals, you are probably better off killing them after you take all of their money.

I am sure they wont make that mistake again.

Who would replace MbS? Certainly a much worse person than he.

Lots happening there. I hope he comes out on top. Anyone else he been following Thomas Wictor on Twitter? He has a lot of insight on this. Hard to know what’s real though.

And maybe the US will finally accept that Saudi Arabia is NOT an ally.

Iran-backed?

Would be a feather in the cap for Tehran if the coup succeeds.

Bin Salman tried accommodation and maybe it did not work so well

Prince Dickweed and his cronies are going to get hung by more than their heels this time around

I’m surprised it has taken this long to try pushing the young, westernized Prince out. The Royals do not like any change in their myopic world view.
I hope he survives, at least for a good 15 years or so.
Enough time to implement changes and weed out the Old Guard.

Kinda like Trump with the Obama holdovers ("LEFTovers").

We know very little about what happens behind the Sand Curtain.

In dictatorships, like Saudi Arabia, reliable information is hard to come by.

If there’s really a coup in progress its a reminder the country is run by a single family.

If its ousted, no telling what comes next. This is after all, the Middle East.
