It is strange that we have to follow small independent channels to find out what is going on in the Middle East. This whole story has a strong bearing on the supply of diesel. Texas, for instance, has declared a state of emergency regarding diesel.
The collapse of Saudi Arabia appears imminent. The main reason being no-one is going to fight for MBS, and Saudi soldiers are as useless as tits on a bull (to use the technical expression).
The whole Sykes-Picot framework put in place toward the end of the First World War seems to be falling apart. T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) and his adventures, and the business of the Anglo-French empires carving things up between them on a map, is now dust. Who knows what will emerge, but we are definitely watching history in the making.
