Episode 06: Boom Goes The Saudi Dynamite

from The Elucidators: Decoding Global News · host Steve Palley and Soumi Chatterjee

BOOM! Faster than you can say "Happy Saturday," Saudi Arabia's main oil processing facility goes up in a big drone and cruise missile strike, global oil prices go vertical, and Saudi Prince Mohammad Bin Salman's big IPO plans for Saudi Aramco go horizontal. Who the heck are these Houthi guys claiming credit for the strike... and why are the Iranians over here playing dumb? In this episode, we get into proxy wars, regional hegemony, Sunni vs. Shia Islam, the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen, the new pay-as-you-go model for U.S. alliances, and much much more!
