He spoke. He reall really has spoken: MbS

I know it was only for a few seconds, and it was rather difficult to memorize, but Muhammad Bin Salman has spoken.  He spoke for a good ten seconds today.  He said to a military gathering that Saudi Arabia was the first country in the world, after the US, to assemble an alliance in the last seventy to 100 years. I kid you not.  He never heard of the Warsaw pact or of the axis powers.  Let me guess: Western correspondents will now praise his deep knowledge of history.

PS The irony is that King Salman's "other" sons are relatively the most educated among the princes but the father chose the most incompetent and least educated to rule. These are the rules of House of Saud.
