MbS is THE man to watch

An excellent article at The American Thinker by Monica Showalter on the progress - and yes, it looks as though it really is 'progress' - of Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS), the leader of Saudi Arabia, as he makes his way across the dangerous territory of American TV channels!  He faced up to some keen questioning on the 60 Minutes show and according to Ms. Showalter he did very well.  I will not attempt to précis her article but it is well worth reading - not least because it is rather heartening and hopeful.

I saw that 60 Minutes interview last night. MbS handled himself pretty well. The interviewer pointed out to the viewers that he is one of the most heavily guarded leaders in the world too.

As I said in an earlier post, Whiters, I do hope he has the very best personal security team around him!
