The fall of the Saudi royal kingdom cannot be good for a whole lot of things that concern the western world.

Remember that old Chinese curse about living in interesting times?

With the Saudis funding radical madrassas worldwide and trying to spread their wahabi extremism, I figured it was only a matter of time before the demons they've summoned would turn on them . . .

"As ye sow, so shall ye reap."

A lot of folks besides them will suffer with their collapse . . . more because the world is likely to sit back and watch, hoping someone else will clean house there.

So Shia kill the Sunni?

You can only buy friends as long as you have the money to do so.  When the spigot stops flowing and only drips is when you find out who likes your money as opposed to who likes you.

I wonder how many of the royal family have tangible and transportable assets they can take with them as they flee the sinking kingdom.

stay safe.

Doubtful.  The even more extremist Sunni will kill the money-focused Sunni.

Aren't fancy ocean-going yachts popular with many of the oil-rich sheiks in the middle east?

House of Saud-in-exile would at least be good for several local Western economies.

Very few, though they quietly own lots of London and no doubt have little caches here and there in the West.  I am sure they wouldn't be queuing at the Macedonian border, at least.

mixed feelings.  I really think that the Royal Family is toast.  Fundamentalists will take over.  The only difference will be the  one that signs the pay checks for terrorism world wide.
