These Princes are radicalized. Al Saud realizes that due to the declining oil revenue there are two potential futures for the Kingdom. Adapt and versify (ala Dubai) or lash out at the West for the loss of oil wealth (ala Saddam, Iranian Mullahs). Al Saud is making the wise choice. The pampered Prince Jihadi-wannabes are taking the road to hell.

They’re not “princes”....they’re crime bosses. (or little dictators)

Here’s how I think this is working.

SA was content to let the backers of terrorism do their thing until Yemen started sending missiles into SA, missiles bought with the money given to terrorism.

Now it’s time to push that genie back into the bottle.

Or we could do that and just blame it on Iran.

Can we? Please?

Just cleaning up those who have their own personal/political intrests ahead of the kingdom.

Someone had said that the new crown prince is in a way like King Hussein of Jordan.

I guess the money is drying up now that oil is so cheap, getting rid of some of the overhead it seems.

I don't know about $1.99 but the goings-on over there are definitely affecting the price over here.

That is quite a story! And you know what? It makes a helluva lot more sense than anything else I’ve heard about that night. Very interesting...

Should Iran fail, Russia will nuke ‘em.

Forensic analysis of fallout will show trace elements indicating the bombs were made with US uranium.

Guess who gets blamed...

Thanks Hillary!

Known for years about the attack on fracking drillers, but the Mandalay-Paddock explanation makes a lot of sense.

That makes the most sense of any stories I’ve heard so far. I was already sure paddock was a CIA asset. There’s not much the little guy can do except be vigilant and question everything.

Makes sense since in 1 day we find out ALL about the Texas church murderer and STILL know nothing about paddock

Like his FU stance to Qatar especially, who has financed our Men Seeking Men for over a decade.

What does that mean????..................

Perhaps the warning woman knew a maid to the Sauds who overheard them discussing their discovery of the asassination plot. Blowing up the fuel tanks for Air Janet may have killed all 20K by concussive blast alone.

Air Janet right there lends credence to Salman Jr. being there with a large entourage.
