Wouldn't be surprised to see TSF betray MbS by

forming his own oil conglomerate to compete with OPEC. He already has Venezuela and would try to entice UAE not to go independent. I know, I know. Others have speculated that UAE will lean towards China. I'm not that sure.

I suspect that Trump has modeled himself on J.R. Ewing.
