i really do feel like this is going to escalate the deterioration of diplomacy between saudi and turkey. theres a lot of other factors here too like saudis cozying to israel, disagreements over the impact of the two on Syria, increasing turkish closeness with iran and russia, and erdogan presenting himself and turkey (not saudi) as the true defenders of islam globally. interestingly saudi and turkey are both kind of moving in the opposite direction of how theyve historically interacted with religion.
yeah thank god the NSA was able to save khashoggi's life and the US will punish the Saudis for this

MBS is going to be the reason why the House of Saud will fall. He is aggressive and ambitious but he lacks vision and direction for his policies hence why all his policies so far have failed. He wants to do economic reforms, while at the same time spend massive amounts of money fighting the war in Yemen and a proxy war with Iran, and increase defence spending to confront Iran in a time of low oil prices. He pushed for a war in Yemen that has become a quagmire. 1000 Saudi soldiers dead, billions spent on the war to train the anti houthi forces,pay the salary of the Hadi government etc. The war has become an ulcer for the Saudi state that will bring the nation down financially. Secondly, his vision 2030 is going behind schedule. He had to cancel the Saudi Aramco IPO and push till 2021. He has passed austerity measures in the kingdom but at the same time has gone massive spending sprees buying yachts and Da Vinci. Reports are that MBS is so afraid of his life that he spends more time at his yacht in Jeddah. He has alienated his royal family members with the Ritz Carlton fiasco basically robbing them for their wealth. He has alienated Qatar a small but wealthy nation who is joining the Turkey-Iran axis. Which I warned if it were to happen will have devastating consequences for the GCC. In the end under MBS reign the Hous of Saud will fall.

MBS has imprisoned a lot of fundamentalist clerics in the kingdom and best believe they are forming alliances with jihadist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda in those same prisons. MBS represents the 3rd generation that will fall. When the shyt hits the fan in Saudi Arabia in 10-15 years it will be a crisis that will be worse than Syria,Yemen,Iraq,Liba combined. Best beleive regional powers like Iran and Turkey will take advantage of that when that day comes. And the US will be forced to intervene. Mind you that after Yemen Saudi Arabia is the second most armed society in the mideast. That is right not Syria or Iraq,Saudi Arabia. All MBS has is the support of the people. Because he promises the youth and people a better economy and better future. If for whatever reason that doesn't happen and there is deep economic hardship shyt will pop off.

I told yall this has the makings of a crisis far beyond the usual. The target, the location, the optics, and the facts all may come together to create a perfect storm - with far greater backlash than people are predicting for Saudi.
