The only way for Saudi to go to war with Hezbollah is by proxy, which is why they pressured Saad Hariri to declare his resignation, but Hariri's allies don't seem to be taking the bait. A lot of people are assuming Hariri is being detained against his will too, which is probably true afawk. To get at Iran they'd also have to go through a Shia dominated Iraq, and despite the problems Iran might have with Kurds and Baluchistanis, none of them are willing to be Saudi stooges. Iran is too stable for them to undermine, and it drives them crazy.

It's just been one foreign policy blunder after another under bin Salman, and I love it.

More likely is that Trump will bail out his dumb rear end when the chickens come home to roost. Saudi Arabia is moving toward a civil war and the rate poo poo is moving, it's going to be sooner rather than later.

Trump is going to be mired in his own scandal and doesn't give two shits about KSA. He'll tweet, but that is as far as he'll go.
