In this episode, the discussion examines Saudi resilience, the factors underpinning its grip on power, and the risks associated with Mohammed bin Salman’s escalating war against Yemen.
Despite its vast financial resources, Western backing, and religious legitimacy, the kingdom faces a key vulnerability: its reliance on oil revenues, particularly those from Aramco.
The episode explores how Yemeni military operations targeting Saudi oil infrastructure could threaten the kingdom’s economic foundations.
It also examines the possible calculations behind bin Salman’s escalation, including his considerations regarding Iran and expectations of US and Israeli military support.
The central question is whether this strategy will consolidate his position or risk undermining the very foundations of his rule.
