MbS SHOWS AGGRESSIVE Poker Hand To US
WANTS:
- US-Saudi Arabia DEFENSE PACK (in case Iran ATTACKS)
- HUGE WEAPONS BUY including F-35 fighters {which Israel is DEAD AGAINST}
- MASSIVE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER for CIVILIAN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT construction and operation {which Israel is DEAD AGAINST}
in return, OFFERS:
- NORMALIZATION of relations with Israel
- BOOSTING Saudi-Arabian CRUDE OIL OUTPUT if prices REMAIN 'HIGH" and pursuading other OPEC members to GO ALONG
- SO MbS will ABANDON the Russian camp and MOVE to the US camp if his DEMANDS ARE MET (?)

i think MBS is playing the west against BRICS ( which BRICS trying to get SA to join), to see who will offer Saudi the best deal. It could be the cross road for ME politics and world geo politic. I think the sunni-shia divide is greater than Islamic hate for america. This show SA still fear iran more than anything. .

Yes....the Sunni Shia divide has been going on for centuries - the US pales in comparison. The silly thing is that neither side ( SA or Iran) has leadership which have any religious creds. The only leadership in the Middle East in this regard is the King of Jordan who is a direct descendent of Mohammad.
