        So we should just dismiss any form of accusations towards MBS and scapegoat the ongoing bloodshed in Yemen and Syria all for the sake of economical gain for the G20 countries?

        Your elaboration is respected and understood, however the article states that the region or Saudi Arabia’s neighbors per se at an anarchical state. That is a fallacy and the region is not as unstable as perceived by the Western Media.

        1. “Deeply polarized”country has been mentioned twice without identifying the polarization in #SaudiArabia. 2. The coalition action is a giant lid over an explosive #Yemen and Iranian expansionism. Hope those calling for its stop understand the consequences.

        Iranian "expansionism" consists in filling the vacuum of response to public demand for an end to corrupt Arab rulers. Provide another response to that demand and Sunni Arabs will have no further attraction to the mullahs of Iran.

        The ideology that Iranian mullahs propagate is detested even within Iran forget about Arabs Sunni/Shia welcoming it.The only two who welcome Iran are terror proxies #Hezbollah in Lebanon and the #Houthis in Yemen. Iraqi Shia too have given up on Iran. So what are u taking about?

        @aliShihabi's defense is the best I came across. On a par with MBS' dazzling photos! The gist of his argument: "presumptuous call to remove Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman...is neither realistic nor prudent" echos what other members of Rogue, Inc. #Netanyahu #Sisi told #Trump.

        Military campaign accomplished its mission early on: stopped the Houthis from controlling the whole of Yemen/restored current GOV. The political process failed to capitalize on their success. If military operations stops today, Yemen will enter another much bloodier civil war.

        Yemenis have no more use for the Coalition imposed government than Afghans do for that installed by NATO. Yemenis can form their own government only when all foreign military combatants are removed from their conflict.

        Wishful thinking... the Houthis aren't interested in forming an inclusive government. They want their own government as they see fit.

        There are plenty of other princes in the House of Saud to replace MBS. How about one who protects political dissent and religious minorities? If that and an end to the war against Yemen requires an end to Saudi women drivers that's a trade off the world can approve.

        This is indeed a tragedy. What a hand MBS had. Why on earth did this man think his charisma was not enough? I called him a raw diamond. He had the potential to make the region’s lunatics look outdated. He now has a couple of years to get polished, inside and outside, be a new man

        I’d be curious what comes out of the UN’s efforts to organize negotiations for the parties involved in Yemen. It doesn’t look too good in my opinion. Unfortunately for the population, the conflict seems to have become quite personal.

        I can disagree on how you recommend handling Foreign policy; focus on internal transitions these years led to withdrawal from 🔑 strategic regional positions; other concessions in 🇾🇪 or 🇶🇦 will only send an additional negative sign
