Very good reporting piece on Mohammed bin Salman, the young Saudi prince that has effectively seized power in the kingdom. As a fait accompli, lots of information present about the workings of parts of the White House and how geopolitics in general is conducted, including the US role - particularly in the ME region.

Middle east isn't our problem, shouldn't be our problem, and as long as we keep our borders closed and work on nuclear/renewable energy won't become our problem no matter what they do there.

If only.

Will be interesting to see what Mueller digs up, since his investigation has apparently zoned in on that sweet sweet UAE money that allegedly got funneled to Trumps campaign.
