After the "Grand Coalition Against ISIS" experience proving to be a crock, with members not even told of their participation, Saudi seems to have realised it was time to stick to their knitting and just act like they ruled the entire ME.
Killing Nimr Bakr al-Nimr hasn't gone down too well with Shia muslins and they are pissed right off.
I can understand why Saudi wants to be seen as the Big Cheese, but their timing on this one seems pretty lousy. Given the parlous state of their economy, I would have bet on delay rather than imminent execution.
Seems to me either of two things going on here:
1 The economy is so screwed they're trying appease ISIS while not actively aiding them.
2 King Salman-ella lost his grip already and is in danger of being chucked out, so is showing how tough he is by shooting the bird at all non-Sunni nations on the planet.
