      Basically, the Saudi Crown Prince will either consolidate power or spark civil war. No one knows which. But either has huge implications.https://twitter.com/ChrisMurphyCT/status/927215722702438401 …

      Lots of dots to connect in Saudi Arabia. MBS power play, quiet Kushner trip, Russia arms deal just the latest. Pay attention. This matters.

      Trump/Kushner role in Saudi purge still unclear But they helped screw up the Qatar crisis, which I wrote about here:https://rantt.com/its-hard-to-overstate-how-badly-trump-botched-the-qatar-crisis-77f5033c99b5 …

      Also, Lebanese PM Saad Hariri resigned, announcing while in Saudi Arabia. He said Iran and Hezbollah planned to assassinate him.

      Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah said they didn't want Hariri to resign, and accused the Saudis of forcing him to manipulate Lebanon.

      The Saudi purge and Hariri resignation need to be viewed, at least in part, through the lens of Saudi-Iranian cold war for regional control.

      Kushner's secret trip to Saudi Arabia followed by MBS purge is more evidence the Trump administration is all in on the Saudis against Iran.

          US long supported Saudi Arabia, but took more of a regional balancer role in greater Middle East power struggle. Abandoning that is risky.

          It's not clear Saudis can win, even with greater US support. They haven't gotten close to stabilizing Yemen, and pushed Qatar closer to Iran

          This could spark regional war. And as former SecDef Bob Gates put it, the Saudis are always ready to fight the Iranians to the last American

          Unclear how much is Trump admin strategy or if the president's being manipulated. But US is going all in on the Saudis either way. (END)
