I'm starting to believe this is some plot to disenfranchise the Saudis, because the dimensions are too large for plain stupidity.

  The Saudis are perfectly capable of organic home-grown stupidity. MBS has an impressive record of investment failures. It's possible he's part of a secret plot to destabilise the entire region and bring the reign of the House of Saud to an end, but it's just as likely he's a privileged playboy fool who has no idea what he's doing.

        That Kashogi affair exposed how backward the Kingdom is at executing. Sourcing out to CIA after consulting the U.S. President first could've been an option with perfect 2020 hindsight.

    He has an equally impressive record of non-investment failures as well: the war in Yemen, assassinating Khashoggi, etc. And I agree that Occam's Razor argues for the latter.
