To me, the next-in-line behind Salman seems feeble... inbred mental retardation.. common among those who marry 1st cousins as a social custom.
WAs interesting going through Salman’s twitter page......loads of photos of him meeing dignitaries Worldwide...so he’s been certainly in charge for a long while now. That’s to his advantage because the leaders already know him.
Sauds are big on continuity of their Kingdom and the “Saud” contol of the Kingdom....without the oil the most they’d hope for is tourists, and they can’t do that with the Isamic Law. So they’ve been spending money for years sending their smartest to educate them abroad...they know they lack minds that are “clear enough” to handle both their homeland and the World trade etc.
