SALMAN AND PRIORITIES

               Israel has a right to their land. Is that such a controversial statement for the future King? Some in the region would say yes, but the truth of the matter is, the Palestinian issue is nothing more than a tool for those who wish to continue the violence in the region. For years now, I’ve made the comment that the Palestinians are the Gypsies of the Middle East. Only those groups that wish to promote violence in the region stoke the fires of anger. Do they do this for the sake of the Palestinian people? No and most of the Palestinians realize that truth. Does Iran truly care about the future of Palestine? No. Does Egodan? No. Who understands this better than the Saudis? Nobody. If you make the future King chose between shoring up his list of Allies against Iran and the fate of the Palestinian issue, his answer is just what you heard…………..for now. He knows the issue of the Palestinian people can be addressed once the greater threats in the region are taken care of. Distraction. Trying to solve the Palestinian issue now is nothing more than a distraction. A Distraction stoked by the very power the future King is determined to defeat. In short. Priorities. That is what the future King is concentrating on. An unofficial alliance with Israel is far more rewarding than standing in for the Palestinian people. Besides, something far more important happened in the past 24hrs. Something the future King will not take lightly.

Attacking the Life Blood:  

               If there is one event in the ongoing proxy war between Saudi and Iran that will set the world on edge, it would be an attack or even an attempted attack in the Straits or near Yemen.; an attack Saudi would automatically place the blame on Tehran. The Yemen cost just off of Hudaydah is the area where just such an event took place today. A Saudi flagged tanker was damaged and if not for a nearby Naval ship, the outcome could have been much worse. What this the fist event of it’s kind since the conflict in Yemen began? Perhaps not, but the timing makes this attack more important than anything like it in the past.  I’ve not seen a response from the future King, but I can assure you one is coming. So, stack this attack on top of the increased missile attacks on Saudi over the past two weeks, and it’s not too difficult to see where Saudi’s real priorities stand. What was used against the ship? How was it attacked? Those are issues that will come out shortly, but it’s obvious the tension is rising between the two nations. Missiles landing inside Saudi Arabia is one thing, but openly targeting the life blood of the nation, that is a tactic that will not go unanswered. The situation between these two nations is growing more and more dangerous and the future King is in a full court press to rally those that will side with the Kingdom if and when the time comes. I might as well take that word, “Might” back. The time is coming, and it may be sooner than we think. Extremally advanced weapons are in the hands of both sides, weapons that don’t miss. Once an even like this takes place again, the repercussions may be more than any of us were worried about. In the end, the statement on the status of Israel and the Palestinian people is little more than background noise. One has to wonder who the Saudis will blame if Hamas continues to provoke the IDF? “Weapons Tight”. I hope the Saudi Navy understands the procedure.
