1. Remember when the New York Times, 60 Minutes and the Atlantic -- the creme of the American elite media -- all assured us Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was a great reformer.

3. So now it turns out that bin Salman's reforms consist of almost waging war on Qatar, picking a bizarre fight with Canada, and continuing to bomb the hell out of Yemen. Good work, elite media & foreign policy establishment. https://newrepublic.com/minutes/150583/american-elites-embrace-saudi-arabia-looks-worse-worse …

4. I'm not one to say the Russia stuff is over-rated. But I will say that in terms of long-run damage, Trump's Middle Eastern policy, including full green light to Saudi Arabia, is more dangerous & likely to lead to war than the Russia stuff.

Amongst the many, many, errors here, Friedman, of course, misspelled "re-introducing". There *was* music & movies in the good ol' KSA, but they got banned around 1983....
