Alastair Crooke : How Saudi Arabia Is Collapsing
Summary
Judge Napolitano and guest Alistair Krupp analyze President Trump’s alleged Russian diesel deal as a midterm election gimmick and discuss the broader geopolitical "grand design" involving civilizational states. The conversation shifts to Saudi Arabia, where Krupp argues that Mohammed bin Salman faces a greater internal threat from alienated tribes and military officers than from external Houthi attacks. They also address the global diesel shortage, noting that state tax suspensions and the Russian deal are insufficient to solve supply chain issues.
