COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY DANIEL LAZARE IN CONSORTIUM NEWS
“The Khashoggi Affair and the Future of Saudi Arabia
“If the Saudi power structure were to crumble in the wake of the Khashoggi scandal there would be chaos at home and a shift in power around the Gulf”
Saudi Arabia’s biggest problem is being in bed with Israel.
That now-intimate, but still-covert, connection is at the root of many Saudi problems
Heavy involvement in supporting the Syrian terror – an Israeli project from the beginning. The horror in Yemen. The extreme antagonism towards Iran.
If there is one person in the entire region who is more brutal and ruthless than the Saudi Crown Prince, then that person is Netanyahu.
Cozying up to Israel has been a way to supposedly gain greater influence with America, and it does do that, but at an immense price, a price Saudi Arabia perhaps cannot bear.

Response to a comment, “it serves no purpose going over the same old arguments. Act. Vote.”:
Vote for what?
Obama was in all the blood and dirt up to his armpits.
He just comes off better in public speaking. More graceful, less argumentative than Trump. But every bit the same ruthless killer and supporter of scum like the Crown Prince.
And Hillary? A natural born killer.
Joe Biden? He pushed Obama to create America’s massive hi-tech extrajudicial killing industry run by CIA.
What choice do Americans have?
Close to zero in my view.
