It would be disturbing if the decedent was his body double and the whole sword dance thing was a snookering, the real MbS is alive and well somewhere with the near-trillion he shook his cousins down for.

He is at the heart of the new alliance formed (with Trump’s help) in the ME ... alliance including SA and Israel, which (with U.S. assistance) will take down the Iranian regime, Hezbollah and HAMAS.
