What we do know is that the Saudis dropped the hardline Islam approach and turned to a more moderate Islam granting some women’s rights. After Trump’s visit they united to cut off the money flow to ISIS and placed sanctions on Qatar for promoting violence through al Jazeera and financially supporting ISIS.

Actually, I did not know that.

I thought the Saudi House cleaning and "redistribution" of wealth was a misdirection decoy to take heat off the Saudis for their part in the complete "Arab Spring" and Yemen catastrophes.

If President Trump has partially civilized the Saudi animals, it is a good thing, but there is not much news about it even from the President.
