Same rationale for removing Gadaffi. You see the results.

Hey the Saudis, Russians and Israelis are Trumps best friends, great allies.

We have no evidence that MBS is actually going to tackle corruption. The West will see what it wants to believe, but we've seen all this before. There has been 70 years of Saudi propaganda that I can link if anyone wants, where the next Saudi royal is always a reformer. If every Saudi royal was a reformer, then why is the KSA even more regressive than other Arab and Muslim countries?

Let's begin with the fact that "corruption" in Saudi Arabia has never been defined. There is no transparency. The creator of the anti-corruption laws is the same as the enforcer. MBS, like Putin, can make up a law and pass judgement retroactively and extort the wealth of those who are "guilty". Of course there is no trial. Second, the Saudis are running a deficit. They have introduced austerity measures to the common Saudi. Yet, MBS has with this art purchase, spent almost $1 billion on himself when you include the yacht he bought from a Russian oligarch a year or so ago. Third, he tried to hide the purchase from his citizens. He now has absolute power of the legal system, the military, and the financial system as well.
How can he not be corrupt? Are you people that fricking stupid? Pull your heads out of your arse and do some research. He is the next coming of the Shah of Iran or maybe to a lesser degree, Saddam Hussein.
