If The Saudi Arabia Situation Doesn’t Worry You, You’re Not Paying Attention

A dramatic geo-political realignment by Saudi Arabia is in full swing this month as heads of state are arrested, banished and killed.

While turbulent during the best of times, gigantic waves of change are now sweeping across the Middle East. The magnitude is such that the impact on the global price of oil, as well as world markets, is likely to be enormous.

A dramatic geo-political realignment by Saudi Arabia is in full swing this month. It’s upending many decades of established strategic relationships among the world’s superpowers and, in particular, is throwing the Middle East into turmoil.

So much is currently in flux, especially in Saudi Arabia, that nearly anything can happen next. Which is precisely why this volatile situation should command our focused attention at this time.

The middle east no longer controls the price of oil. Saudi Arabia is in dire need of the reforms being imposed on the ruling class. Its a good thing.
