Anyone who knows the history of the Saudi Royal Family realizes that the internecine warfare within the ruling family is complicated and unknowable outside the family. Assassination and other means have been used before to determine succession. MBS has made many enemies. This all smacks of a framing of MBS to remove him. I suspect it will be successful. It will satisfy all the critics in the US and provide the necessary cover to maintain our existing bilateral relationship. MBS will be the scapegoat—as planned.
Money and power usually rule the day.The Saudis may not have infinite oil reserves and they need the leadership capabilities of an MBS. No one else is even close to what he can do.
I see him surviving that hit on him.

Some black woman supposedly in charge at the WaPOst doing a crybaby chat about how all journalists are in danger now if they have an opinion that is not in favor.blah blah blah.
She forgot to mention however Jamal's history which is not important it's everything.
Driveby journalism at it's finest hour leaving out all the important facts about the situation.
