Krauthammer: Change in Saudi Succession Just Puts ‘Official Stamp’ on Mohammad bin Salman Being in Charge

‘He’s riding the war in Yemen’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
BAIER: " I want to turn regions on you. The announcement in Saudi Arabia, the succession for the Royals has changed and that the new crown prince will be Mohammed bin Salman, the mbs who is now the young — he is the son and he will be in line to be the next king. He’s also the one who met with President Trump in the White House. Talk about the implications of that."
KRAUTHAMMER: "They just put an official stamp on de facto, Mohammed bin Salman is in charge of Saudi Arabia. The father is old. This is a very young man. He’s riding the war in Yemen. He’s orchestrating the embargo on Qatar. He’s basically throwing in with United States. All that happened today is that he is now the official air. There won’t be succession prices prices. He is in charge and the fact that the other guy, who supposed to be the crown prince, he pledged allegiances away from his family. Something we have done here while for 200 years. They are learning how to do it."
