A Possible Coup in Saudi Arabia Signals the End of US Dominance in the Mideast

[Lux de Veritas]

In order to revive peace in middle east , it is high time to restrict iranian from there notorious activities and its dream of Revival of Great Persia, a minority of 10% muslim con not dictate to 90% majority other wise they will be simply run over at any time.

That is right.

In theory, Saudi should have hegemony. And I do not see why Sunni Muslims are not able to evangelize base on love like building hospitals, providing quality education on par with Christian missionary schools, charity, through showing exemplary conduct during suffering, through love, through sacrifice, through preaching tolerance and humanity....etc.

With oil gushing from ground, Sunni Muslims could do better.

Unfortunately the leadership of Saudi screwed all sunnis and now Sunnis worship gangsterism as if they are doing god's work by murder.

Shia is far more civilize.

Even the Houthi deserve far far more respect than every single shitbag Sunni insurgence in terms of mercy.

With such widespread anti good and anti humanity, I wish Sunni lose their pants -- and I hope you wish it too, so that human can be good.

Saudi Arabia is no ally of the US. In fact, Saudi Arabia hates Israel. No Israeli citizen can ever set foot in Saudi Arabia.

US is not Israel. Just want to correct you homeboy.

Saudi Arabia has been dictating terms in ME since long. Everyone, including many in the GCC want a change, for once the Sunnis will loose their clout, and with it the extremist mentality would subside.
Yet, an unstable KSA would mean disturbed ME; therefore, for their own good neither other GCC countries nor the defense forces of the country would topple existing government in KSA.
Coup in KSA will be a disaster to the region.

@levina,house of Saud and Sunnis aren't the same by any imagination, second, if this so-called ''coup'' was ever happening, it will be the local population that will stand up from inside Arabia taking out House of Saud, no outside force will attack Arabia.

May be wrong choice of words.
I meant their version of Sunni Islam aka Wahabism. Afaik, this is a radicalised version which Saudi has been trying to spread. Indian intelligence has claimed that in last 4 years, some 25000 Saudi clerics have arrived bearing more than $250 million to build mosques and universities, and hold seminars in India.
But kicking off the present regime would be a big blunder, like the one made by US in Syria and Libya. Other than destabilizing ME, and pushing the region into the dungeon of misery, a coup in KSA would lead to nothing better.

I personally don't give a ratz fury behind, what happens to House of Saud. I agree with you about the destruction, if they are removed, but as I said, it's not going to be outsiders it will be the locals just like the Egyptians and Tanzanians who had enough of their regimes.

 

[Levina]

Unless they get US's backing, not even the locals would rise against the ruler; after all locals are looked after well by the government, unlike Egypt and Tunisia.
(Did you really mean Tanzania?? or was it Tunisia? )

Which is unlikely to come any time soon, outside help that is, as current regimes of GCC specially Arabia is obedient and does what its told.

MY bad, I meant Tunisia, that should tell you how much I care

Hope the monarchy and KSA stays intact at least 25 years more. BD has stake in GCC. Only this place, no spring could gain momentum. We are really affected by the chaos of Lybia, Lebanon, Yemen. No more please.

We have absolutely zero stake in it. Our relation with them is at the lowest point for decades. Whatever happens there, we will not be affected.

 

[bongbang]

That's the proposed map.

Not bad idea at all. It will restore peace in their communities. Need some correction North and South Yemen should be divided. And Kashmir can be a separate entity.

We have absolutely zero stake in it. Our relation with them is at the lowest point for decades. Whatever happens there, we will not be affected.

We are already affected. After chaos erupted in Lybia, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen. Why? because we had migrant workers there. Whatever war or anything goes on there that isnt our concern. And GCC is one of the largest source of remittance for BD. If they are affected BD will be affected too. We are in process to build our economy. Some billion dollars matters us now but after 10-20 years not much. There is a larger Bangladeshi diaspora there, they will be affected too, if they return all of a sudden we will be affected.

Coup doesn't necessarily lead to war.

No "Free Kashmir". Looks to me a map made by an Indian in his wet dreams, to separate Pakistan from China.

 

[bongbang]

It can escalate to civil war. Country's enemies will take chance. Present KSA gov is US backed one. In practical sense US backed coup wont lead to any civil war. Like Egyptian. But why would US back up a coup? They are doing good business. But independent coup or backed by Russian one will lead to a bloody civil war.

Exactly my thoughts.
As you can see my other flag.
Pakistanis here dont want any kind of spring here.

There should be a map for a divided india as well, somebody should actively start working on it.

 

[asad71]

That's right. Divide SA again on lines defined by race, religion, language, economy, connectivity, common historical experience and geography. The current division was engineered by the British with the active support of their paid stooges like Nehru and Gandhi.

There's another problem....IMF reports that with present level of expenditure KSA will be in deficit in about 5 years.

The large and sustained drop in oil prices has increased fiscal vulnerabilities in MENA and CCA oil-exporting countries. The issue of fiscal space has become critical as oil exporters decide how quickly to adjust their fiscal policies to the new reality of persistently lower oil prices. This box considers several alternative measures of fiscal space. A good starting point is the size of governments’ financial assets—commonly referred to as “fiscal buffers.” In general, countries with larger buffers can afford to maintain fiscal deficits further into the future, so as to reduce the impact of lower oil prices on growth. On current trends, however, all non-GCC MENA oil exporters are already projected to run out of liquid financial assets in the next three years (see Chapter 1). In, contrast, CCA oil exporters have at least 15 years’ worth of available financial savings,1 while GCC countries are split evenly between countries with relatively large buffers (Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates—more than 20 years remaining) and countries with relatively smaller buffers (Bahrain, Oman, and Saudi Arabia—less than five years).

And expenditure doesn't seem to be getting any lower, only rising:

Powerful Saudi clerics are calling for a response to the Russian move, even though the kingdom is already bogged down in another war in Yemen. Analysts say the Saudi government will probably speed up the flow of cash and weapons to its allies in the opposition fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad, who’s also supported by Saudi Arabia’s main rival, Iran.

and Qatar openly calling for outright military intervention:

"Anything that protects the Syrian people and Syria from partition, we will not spare any effort to carry it out with our Saudi and Turkish brothers, no matter what this is," Qatar’s Foreign Minister Khalid al-Attiyah told CNN on Wednesday, when asked if he supported Saudi Arabia’s position of not ruling out a military option.
