“Is it wrong to kind of hope they nuke the crap out of each other?”
Trump has pulled off a miracle. The princes clandestinely financing terror have been purged. These were relatives of the king and the crown prince. So this is major, as many of them may end up dead, that being the way things work there. What this means is the Saudis have made an all-out, succeed-or-die commitment to reform Islam. Any attempt to reform Islam requires the death sentence, so they are taking a huge risk that the people right next to them are REQUIRED by Islam to stop them by killing them.
All of this is going on while they fight an unpopular, and so far, stalemated proxy war in Yemen. Their military, while impressive on paper, is poorly lead by people chosen for their position in the family instead of their military skills. The entire government is as fragile as cracked glass.
This is the closest we will likely get to changing Islam into something that can peacefully coexist with the rest of us. The alternative is we either fight until they are all dead, we are all dead, or we are made into slaves.
Next up, will probably be a test case carried out in North Korea. If Trump pulls that off then Iran will probably come to heel. If not, then the war will likely expand quickly.
Pretty good analysis senor.
This is close to my take.
A big hit to the bastards actually spreading Wahhabism. Somebody in place who is all about business.
The possibility of turning a state that had been pumping much money to terrorists becoming much more of an ally.
Could be a much bigger win than anything most people could wrap their heads around.
Maybe I should move my stocks into a safe haven.
