Barely a mention of burgeoning ties with Israel.

It will only take an Israeli nuclear tipped ballistic missile about 30 minutes to make the trip from The Holy Land to Riyadh.

That fact does rather concentrate the mind.

Does anyone seriously deny this?

It’s easy after that to kill every single Jewish soul on earth with greater,bigger and smarter weapons. Keep your mouth shut phagit and never mention the disgusting Jewish state use of such weapon. Then it’s the end of Judas on earth once and for good.

You should seek medical advice before it is too late.

As Saudi Arabia de-radicalises its interpretation of Islam, other Islamic countries like Turkey, Iran and Pakistan are moving towards radicalisation. Thankfully, Saudi government wont be funding these radicalisation efforts. And without funding these radicalisation efforts are bound to weaken.

I think that there is a glimmer of hope that a tolerant version of Islam will eventually win out in a decade or two!

The number of executions of people critical of the government (mullahs) is going up.

I’m sceptical. They can tone down requirements at home, letting e.g. women drive, but they still use a vast fortune to gain control in other places–including western countries. Wahabbism is a missionary religion, but not in the way we might understand the phrase.

What?
No mention of the seizure of The Grand Mosque in Mecca,*by one Juhayman al-Otaybi and chums, which, lasted from 20 November 1979 to 4 December 1979, and was certainly far more damaging than Al-Qaeda’s more recent rather feeble efforts.
It is said that had ‘they’ had mobile phones that would have been ‘it’ for the House of Saud.

(*Suppressed by the French ‘Army’. 68 survivors beheaded.)

This guy is a crook and should be in prison. I’m dismayed that Western leaders constantly cozy up to him.

He is in a mission greater than that of your rapist Zionist Biden. Focus on ur country only and never open your mouth about others.

What he is doing on the international front looks sensible and pragmatic . However I doubt the ability of a monarchy to survive as government in the modern world. As with all autocracies, a monarch is bound to fail sooner or later. Government is fundamentally about the people and their consent to be governed . People cannot be bribed or coerced into submission for ever – and we are all mortal, even kings. The murder of Khashoggi was also a terrible wrong and displays the frailty of the autocrat. It also sadly shows that the process of change will not be easy nor without danger.

Ordinary Saudis don’t see themselves as coerced. They are all very well off, thanks to oil revenues, while all the actual work is done by Turkish, Thai, Indian and Filipino “guest workers”.

80% of people working in oil and gas sector are Saudi citizens not stupid Turkish,Indian,and Filipino. We allowed them to come and work to benefit themselves and their countries like you in America with cheap labor of illegal immigrant. With or without oil we will survive, the real question is about USA survival after de-dollarization, everyone knows the the US will collapse into chaos before anyone.
