For obvious reasons I am not at all sad in the slightest.

Good bye cheap oil prices....
We know you would not be.
well, i'm not sad either... but we probably have different reasons.
what are your "obvious reasons"?
And now comes the civil war....
I heard several weeks ago somewhere there were already people jockeying for control.
As well as slightly changing the headline (now just, "Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah dies")...
the BBC has added in their 18:48 update that indeed Salman IS king.
and also named Next in line.
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah dies
Abdullah bin Abdulaziz was the fifth of his brothers to take the throne and became king in 2005, reports Caroline Hawley
The announcement, made early on Friday, said his brother, Salman, had become king....
The late king's half brother Moqren has been named the new crown prince, the official statement said.
King Salman called on the royal family's Allegiance Council to recognise Moqren as his crown prince and heir.
Agreed - if there were sleepers or saboteurs they'll be activated quickly. Unless ISIS is racing to the border with everything they have right now, the Saudi's should be okay, unless of course it's something more substantial from say, Iran or even perhaps Yemen on their southern border.
Nope. The Crown Prince has long been selected, approved by the former King and the Royal Family. It's the next Crown Prince that might see some jockeying.
When they run out of sons of Abdulaziz, there might be something to worry about.
Why would anyone be? A ruler who had absolute power, ruled through theocratic rule, ruled under extreme Wahhabi Islamic Law, human rights abuser, allowed virtually no freedom in his country, possible links to ISIS and other forms of terrorism. Why would anyone morn this? I mean **** his country and regime is comparable to the hermit Kingdom DPRK when it comes to human rights and justice...
How much terrorism originates with Saudi Arabia?
Sounds much like the socialist/marxists of the last century.

I dont know about that. I think Israel, Egypt, and Turkey would be a formidable defense to further expansion.
What I described was King Abdullah. But hey I get it, Im a socialist so therefore any response you bring up your brain dead arguments.
None of which are oil honeypots

Im just pointing out the striking parallels between various totalitarian regimes.
Doesn't matter who has been tapped. The Sudairi Seven hold a lot of positions of power and they may not go quietly into that good night.
Ok and?
