Looks like a possible new head in Saudi Arabia? Look out for that soon. There is a big shake up taking place.

Word on the web is that this might be linked back to the Las Vegas shooting which is not being mentioned in this article was the final nail for strategic patience.

Furthermore, the people getting arrested in Saudi Arabia are Globalists, ISIS supporters, very Anti-Trump and they are desperate. Watch out for possible false flags by Deep State.

Anyway, can't confirm any of the above, but keep an eye on Saudi Arabia and possible staged attacks. Hopefully the latter is not true.

Actually I am waiting to see how all these corrupt criminals are deeply connected financially to Hillary and Obama, I believe it is coming.

President Donald Trump said those arrested had been “‘milking’ their country for years”

What the hell is that even supposed to mean? Everybody from the King down milks the country. That's how the place is set up. The House of Saud is a huge dysfunctional family that lucked into control of a giant pool of oil. None of them created anything.

Iran is obviously trying to flank Saudi Arabia by its intervention in Yemen. Shia vs. Sunni and all that. The Saudis are reacting. And will continue to do so. Hopefully, USA stays out!

What’s changed is Hussein gave the Shia nukes and plenty of funds!

Perhaps this was the calm before the storm President Trump was talking about?

What happened is that Trump reminded that jumped up bunch of tent dwelling nomads that the only thing standing between the House of Saud and the Iranian army is the US and Israel.

Yep to play Saudi Arabia and Iran off of each other.

My understanding is that President Trump told Saudi Arabia, whose economy is bleeding, we can give them a carpet of gold or a carpet of bombs.

The Saudi Government choose the carpet of gold, and now we are watching a mop up operation. Hence, why a missile was fired at the Riyadh Saudi Arabian airport from Yemen. Yemen is a proxy for Iran. Iran did not like seeing their sources being shut down.

The Saudi Arabian events are pretty interesting. President Trump says he has confidence in the Saudi leadership. Lets hope all goes well.

“What happened is that Trump reminded that jumped up bunch of tent dwelling nomads that the only thing standing between the House of Saud and the Iranian army is the US and Israel.”

You said it. Also think about how impotent the Saudi/GCC effort in Yemen has been. All that military hardware and the battlefield right in their backyard and the best they could do was a stalemate. Only with President Trump’s changes in policies to allow some application of US leadership and military power has the tide started to turn. I say that as someone who is over in the area at the moment working with our allies. Interesting to say the least.

Curious to know IF one of those arrested or dead is the prince whose name ends ‘al Talal’. He is considered the Warren Buffet of Saudi Arabia & heavily invests all over the world. Saw him once on Charlie Rose (by accident) & was impressed with his education & his economic knowledge.
