”Saudi Arabia and gulf states flipped…”

Don’t be fooled by flashes in the pan.

USA still enormously important to SA and Gulf states. Arms, finances, infra, etc.

MBS’s staying power still to be determined. He’s a bit out of the ordinary, a bit wacky.

I’m certain that rapprochement with Iran is hugely controversial in SA elite political circles and in the souk. Kissy, kissy all’s good now, not happening easily or overnight. We are, after all, talking about deeply held but conflicting religious beliefs in existence for centuries.

Not quite as simple as “flipped.”
