I'd normally say "Do stupid things, win stupid prizes", except in this case it's the rest of us that are stuck with the booby prize because the person making the decision is completely insulated from its impacts.
MBS isn't a Peacemaker. He's merely preserving his options as the US takes leave of its senses. Wittingly of not, the Biden Administration is systematically undoing an alliance that has lasted since World War 2 by trying to tell someone half his age and perhaps twice his intellect how to suck eggs. We are doomed....no wait....if Biden doesn't make it through his term for some reason, we're really doomed.
Hmmm, I wonder what effect this will have with the relationship between China and Russia? Since Iran is in bed with Russia and Russia is a client state of China, also China has been an arms supplier to Iran since the Islamic revolution. The Houthi rebels have been using Chinese weapons supplied by Iran against the Saudi’s for decades to include Chinese made ASCM’s.
This is all part of the Biden Team’s plan “ABM” - Another Bad Move. I railed about Obama’s people being the Amateur Hour, but this level of fecklessness, foolhardiness, and f¥*kery is beyond coincidence. I will never support or defend the Biden Team’s vision of America and Its place in the Community of Nations. In the long run, this tac is going to cost a lot of people their freedom and their lives.
If we have an answer it's to pull out all the stops making oil irrelevant. But we can't because oil interests own a political party. One increasingly in alignment with people who wish us no good.
Saudi Arabia and Iran were twin pillars of US policy in the Gulf until 1979. Since then, we've been waiting for two trends to develop: American moralizing (a descendant of Cold War policy, see the Helsinki Accords, just add decades of PC/woke) and a divergence of Saudi interests from American. It will be ironic if a changing Iran comes back into the American orbit now to balance China in the Saudi peninsula.

It is almost like the people who are Biden's puppeteers want the PRC to gain power at American expense.
Did Trump do any better?
Canons were fired? I hope they can get work.

The PRC is not willing to be KSA's Gulf gendarme against Iran though is it? Only a US under Republican leadership can do that.
