Reuters: New Saudi ruler King Salman bin Abdulaziz
WNU Editor: Apparently the new ruler of Saudi Arabia is in poor health and suffering from dementia. With chaos in oil markets and a raging civil war in in Syria and Iraq, coupled with the crisis in Yemen .... is it smart to have a new ruler who has all of these health problems? Apparently he is .... and that is probably because the other prospective rulers in the Kingdom cannot come to an agreement on which one of them will assume the throne .... best choose someone in poor health and who will rule for only a short time .... thereby buying the necessary time so that they can then figure out who will be next king.
