The solution to this strategic problem is fairly simple. Stop supporting apartheid Israel. Stop selling weapons to the region’s dictators and withdraw all American troops from the region. Hormuz would be open right now if America hadn’t started an illegal and unjust war against Iran and the Houthis would never have evolved into what they are today if Saudi hadn’t spent years bombing Yemen (with American weapons and support) and killing 377k people.

The more America interferes in the region, the worse its strategic problems get.

Is Saudi Arabia Royal family and MBS in jeopardy of political backlash by the tribes? The Middle East is losing power and influence but still has plenty of money. Oil isn’t as important as it used to be and with the conflict even less so.

Yes. He is in a precarious position right now.

With Trump at America’s helm and corrupt, incompetent stooges to advise him all bets are off save Polymarket bets. Some folks will be making a killing whatever happens next week starting with the Trump organized crime family. Elections have consequences.
