Actually the Saudis are forcing him to tank it

If that's directed at me, please actually read what I said.

They aren't forcing him to do anything. He's a useful idiot.

Anyone could and did see he'd either steer it politically to be more in their favor, or the idiot he is, would destroy it through sheer incompetence.

They aren't making him do anything, they just saw the cards on the table and thanked Allah.
