Okay, this is not entirely what I had in mind but it's pretty amazing.

But we digress.
Well let's hope the Mods don't notice and get this back on track..
My original point in citing A Few Good Men is that I don't think MBS can reasonably get away with pinning it on a member of his security, the way the Saudi press have been screaming innocence and pointing fingers.. I have to feel this will come back on MBS. I mean there's different repercussions to all this..
Internally in SA they've been in full denial, to even remotely admit anything will be hugely damaging not just externally but also internally. He would have to be put aside, I don't see him getting away with the 'will someone not rid me of this meddlesome priest' defence.
For Trump then MBS has to go as well, Trump needs an out on this.. SA is not a place sanctions would super work as they could turn to China and Russia, which would be a disaster for the US. The only real solution is MBS somehow steps aside.
I'm sure that's being negotiated but it's all looking pretty bad. Given he had a major amount of high ranking officials put under house arrest he must be under enormous pressure.
