SAUDI ARABIA AND WOMEN DRIVING CARS? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Okay. I like to read Pepe’s stuff and this article is a fairly hard statement about what may be taking place in Saudi. The one thing I did get lost on was…………..where did the story go about Women driving cars? When I first saw the announcement,  I had a mental picture of the roundabouts in Saudi! Look, it’s bad enough to navigate a simple roadway there, but when you get the Mad Max Roundabouts and you know that almost every drive in that swarming Bee’s Hive is a Saudi male, it’s hard to get up the courage to drive forward into the abyss. Now……………….to that…………add Saudi Women drivers……..drivers who have never driven…………….drivers who are most likely visually impaired for religious reasons!!!! My prediction is, if someone opened a website that was just Roundabout cameras 24/7, you would get a million hits a day. If you think watching Russian dash-cam clips on YouTube is fun………….you just wait! Who can drive? When can they drive? That may be the Devil in the Details that saves the streets of Saudi from becoming, if you can believe it, far worse than they already are.

Alright. Enough about Saudi’s predicament with Driving Ms. Daisy. Let me go back and take a look at Pepe’s real issue in this story; The House divided in Saudi…… The concept of the Kingdom having a violent change. Is that really in the wings? Is the Saudi Kingdom in that much trouble?

I’ve addressed the topic before of the so called “Young Prince” / MBS. Is he the power hungry Roya some make him out to be? How many of the Royals are not power hungry? Is he the reason the CIA allegedly “upset”? By the way, you would be amazed at how well the CIA plays every side of every angle. Is MBS driving the Saudi Kingdom into a crisis? Here is one for ya. How about the idea the young Prince is trying desperately to insure Saudi’s survival?

Surrounded by “inexperienced Thirty Year olds”, that’s Pepe’s view. My view…………I hope so, or at least I hope he has a mixture of new and old next to him. If the ratio is out of balance, then it will be business as usual in Saudi.

Family:

Is there a Family element to the potential troubles in Saudi? Yes. Is that new? No! Is it more prevalent this time around? Yes. Does that mean a “bloodbath” is going to take place? No. Here is my answer to the question of resistance to the future King. The current King’s wishes are the rule of the land. That is how the nation has been run and that is how it’s run now. Now, the argument is, MBS manipulated a mentally failing King to jump to next in line. Again. Anything new here? No. Here comes the fun part to watch in all of this. Fun and dangerous. Dangerous because desperate nations can do desperate things.

Sides:

Sides! Who is on whose side? According to Pepe and others, the CIA sides with the Nayef, the guy that got tossed out by MBS! So, where does that leave the Russians? Does anyone think for a minute the Tsar is not a stake holder in this game of Thrones? How important is Saudi to Russia? Very. Is it all about the oil? Not entirely. The Middle East is a Chessboard and the Tsar loves to play the game at that level. What can be done to aggravate the West? What makes the West squirm? Did the Russians have their fingers in the move by MBS? How could they not have? Even if they didn’t, would the CIA think they didn’t? Hey, by the way, does the current team at the CIA get along with The Donald? Now, there is an argument for another day. Who does the Dirty Work for the “Deep State”? Is the Deep State issue in the US just like the issue of “Power” in Saudi right now? There’s another great conversation I won’t have given I don’t want my blog page to come up missing!

How bad is it?

Is the government of Saudi Arabia in real trouble? Is someone going to try to inflame the radical religious elements in Saudi? Is the issue of softening the social status in Saudi going to be the stick used against the future King? Can someone turn Saudi into Syria? If so, who would get the blame and what would the Future King do about it? Be thinking Iran here and not Russia. Putting pressure on young Salman will not go over well. Thinking the Iranians and the CIA are behind that pressure will not go over well.  Who does he turn to? Who makes the threat far more complicated? Let see how the meeting between the current King and the Tsar goes. That will give us a hint…. A hint of something I already believe.  Ah yes... The Saudi version of Game of Thrones!
