If The Saudi Arabia Situation Doesn't Worry You, You're Not Paying Attention

While turbulent during the best of times, gigantic waves of change are now sweeping across the Middle East. The magnitude is such that the impact on the global price of oil, as well as world markets, is likely to be enormous.

A dramatic geo-political realignment by Saudi Arabia is in full swing this month. It’s upending many decades of established strategic relationships among the world's superpowers and, in particular, is throwing the Middle East into turmoil.

So much is currently in flux, especially in Saudi Arabia, that nearly anything can happen next. Which is precisely why this volatile situation should command our focused attention at this time.

Thanks so much for my geopolitical lesson of the day. Too bad I can’t read part 2, but I did read the summary.

The Bushes have been in bed with SA and engage in minor foreplay, handholding, walks in the garden and kisses.

I think you may have mixed the two Salmans up. Salmanthe elder is king now and from what I hear and read, Salman the younger is the muscle. Wow, two members of their royal family working together!

[Captain Peter Blood]

Neither MBS or Saudi Saudi Arabia are our friends. He isn’t really trying to do anything about corruption. Read this and it might give you another viewpoint:

The author’s statements about Russia in this article show how terminally clueless he is. Write him off.

I'll do the html. just basic

Nations mentioned in the Bible youtube video link here

I also go to Jewish sites when identifying Old Testament places or at least Messianic Jewish sites.

Hopefully it is the guys from SA that paid for Al-Qaeda (hey, anyone hear anything about al-zawahiri?) that are bring purged.

Thanks. That was very interesting.

But if Saudi and Iran are at war, then the moslem world is not united, which would belie that prophecy, would it not?

I know it's a stretch to think Israel can remain separate from that conflict should it happen, but one can hope.

I didn’t listen to it, I just figured out what was wrong with the link. If the link looks right but takes you somewhere else, simply highlight it, copy it, paste it into

microsoft NOTEPAD

to wipe out any html then copy and paste it back into your browser address bar (as text only) and go.

Well thank you, sir, for the pro tips.

I'm sure I'll forget all that in about five minutes, though. My brain doesn't seem capable of holding that type of information. That's why my game is confined to words and clicking only.

Apreesh the help.

It doesn't worry me at all. I'm very encouraged by all the house cleaning.

[Cen-Tejas]

LOL, I’ve coincidentally watched about 30 Blue Bloods TV shows the last couple months. Though I’ve been there or through there many times............I have a whole new appreciation of the City from watching the shows.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, I am sad to see DeBlasio elected again.

[miss marmelstein]

His election was inevitable, I’m afraid. Sad.

[little jeremiah]

I’ve read a tremendous amount about this, and I totally disagree. Trump is involved with this.

MbS is not the old Saudi type of man, he wants Islam reformed. Things change, and Trump is a catalyst and is supporting change in the ME.

Go to the author’s website to find his theme. His specialty is helping us prosper (relatively) in an economically collapsing world, and the books he sells purport to do just that. He emphasizes the bad news view.

[minnesota_bound]

I hope all those Saudi elites die a horrible death.

[little jeremiah]

When people tailor their views to sell stuff, I have zero interest in reading their stuff. Thank you for letting me know his angle. I never read ad copy either... :-)

[Gulf War One]

Let’s just say that if a massive counter-corruption campaign were underway - one that may usher in an era of growth and prosperity - you would not hear about it from him.

[little jeremiah]

Then he’s just a royal ahole!

Trying to sell doom/n/gloom by lying.

I think you may have mixed the two Salmans up.

There is talk that King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud could abdicate in the next few days due to dementia which would leave Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in control of the Kingdom.
