Too many rich Saudis angry at being stripped of their status and wealth.

This will not end well. If you make enemies, be sure they can’t knife you in the back when you aren’t watching them.

"Nice try Boris lol"

That's a good one. Igor (eegor) might also be a good nickname for the trolls (for those of us who watched the much older movies). Ivan would be the goofy Russian regulars in the coming events, when they try to slow our soldiers down.

No coup attempt in Riyadh. A toy drone/plane got too close too the King’s palace and was shot down. #SaudiArabia #Riyadh

Yeah really.

They evacuated the King over a drone?

They can’t tell the difference between gunfire and a drone?

Yes, absolutely Iran-backed, fully provided with any kind of weaponry or transport to accomplish a coup and assassinate the king and everyone in the Saudi royal family they can. Prophetic in nature I truly believe. Fear will make the royal family go into hiding— but whether this leads to Saudi Arabia’s military launching a salvo of missiles into Iran (or Yemen or even an Iranian base in Syria) is a good speculation. They’re fed-up with attacks and this may be what ‘breaks the camel’s back’.
Whatever occurs will occur very quickly and be quite punishing.

Calling bs on the drone tweet. The activity in the videos suggest far more than someone’s dji phantom going astray.

The real question is who is in control of the country?

No one knows.

A coup plan like this will have been planned over a much longer period than a week. More like months....

Keep in mind its an absolute monarchy.

The people have no say in what goes on.

That’s true whether the coup succeeds or gets qashed.

Putin has had enough with raghead’s threat ening his country’s EU oil gas monopoly and personal fortune of 40 - 70 Billion.
