#8 Wondering where Talal's billions end up.

Just a unrelated note? The online support for the pIslamic state. Mostly in Sauder land but Muslims in the USA came in second.

#9 There is a power change going on. This is how its done in monarchies. Nothing new or shattering. The new guy is very western in thought. If he lives through it, soddi will change dramatically over the next ten years.

I back him ardently just as I do Sisi.
Pray they succeed. I do.

I have your back, Salman.

#17 My reaction was, as everyone is corrupt in SA, they can arrest whoever they like.

I'd say mostly about appeasing the clergy and populace as unpopular reforms and austerity pushed.
