THank you so much for that post and as usual you are absolutely correct!This is not MBS’s style!and it is devised to get rid of him,the old guard,illuminati cabal and many others do not want the relationship MBS has with Trump and Israel. It is however the kings style, old Saudi style. They are brazen and dumb enough to do. This op would never have been done by MBS.
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.
