The Real Aim of ISIS Is to Replace the Saud Family

[Warpy]

1. While I have no love for the House of Saud

the whole business is ripe for implosion. People not of the House of Saud as relatives or directly employed by them have not been doing well at all since the 80s, when funding foreign mischief was deemed more important than keeping their own citizens getting richer. Unemployment is high and has been for some time and most of the citizens, especially the younger, are not happy.

I also agree that there is nothing we can do should it happen sooner rather than later. Maybe some of them will get out and be refugees here. That's all we can do.

Trading the House of Saud for the IS leadership won't be much of a bargain for the west and the weapons system lavished upon them by the west should make the west think very seriously about what that sort of policy does when the corrupt regimes are toppled and those weapons are now aimed at us.

If this comes to pass, I'm terribly afraid our times are about to get interesting again.
