not a single structural column collapsed, lack of jet fuel in rockets is so sad

Judging by the damage and the range at which the projectile was launched there's a high probability you're looking at the aftermath of a stone thrown by a Palestinian child.

Just imagine what that kind of kinetic energy does to a Merkava at close range.

Probably nothing. I'm sure someone just as bad will step up and take his place

I disagree, I don't think Saudi can survive a succession crisis.

MBS isn't even the king, he's the prince. The king and a bunch of MBS' rival family members are under lock and key.

Regardless of what happens I hope we get to find out soon

would probably be a net negative, because MBS keeps fucking up and making KSA's position less tenable

Like most established ruling structures in charge of bourgeoise western-aligned states, the house of Saud is deep in its failson nepo baby arc. If the guy replacing him is less incompetent in the first place he will make up for it with lack of experience.

The fact that somebody like that gets to run the show says more about the state of the KSA than the guy himself.

Yeah, the lesson we should all take from this year is that decapitation strikes do not work

At least not like how most people think they do

That and someone worse with human rights.
