Saudis and Russia agree to cooperate in Syria.

This situation is changing very fast. First we heard our aircraft have been ordered to avoid Russian planes over Syria, by twenty miles distance, even to break off their attacks if Russian planes approach their target. Next, we're told American Patriot missiles are to be withdrawn from Turkey. The news now is that Saudi Arabia and Russia have agree to cooperate in Syria! The World (at least the Middle East) is being turned upside down.

Saudi Arabia Gives Up Its Resistance Against Russia - German Media


Russia’s military strength has apparently impressed Saudi Arabia. The new Saudi defense minister agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin that both countries should cooperate in Syria, DWN reported.

Russia and Saudi Arabia have surprisingly agreed on establishing closer coordination in Syria despite a number of disagreements. A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the new Saudi Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud took place in Sochi.

After the talks, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Dschubeir said that his country is in favor of a dialogue between the current Syrian government and the opposition and that it would support the idea of a transitional government in the war-torn country. Thus, the Saudis have given up their plan to immediately overthrow Syrian President Bashar-al-Assad, which can be considered a great achievement, taking into account the recent negative attitude of the Saudi authorities toward Russia’s military involvement in Syria.

1. This is like game theory on the national scale.

The key is to have three girlfriends. One will be your bottom. The other two will fight for the role. Meanwhile it's peaches and cream for the protagonist.

Problem is the Saudis forgot who the main player is. Hint it's not some Bedouin tribe in the desert.The house of Saud has jumped the shark.

2. They had stars in their eyes for awhile . . .

The goal seemed almost within their grasp.

4. The United States can be dangerous.

I don't envy them at all no matter how many Swarovski they rollin with. The pentagon can be a pimp with a mean disposition.

Bai bii is right

The syphillitic house of Saud may want to remember the famous quote of the mother of Abu`Abdallah Muhammad XII who was unimpressed with his sudden remorse and scolded him, “Do not cry like a woman for that which you could not defend as a man.”

3. Good. About time they got some skin in the game. See how far that gets them. Now if only

they would get the Russian military to protect them and send our troops home.

7. Russia does at least border on the Middle-East . . .

We live about four thousand miles and an ocean away. It's their neighborhood, so let them do it. The truth be told, we've pretty well proven we aren't any damn good at fixing things in that part of the World anyway.

5. Opec will will raise oil prices in the next 3 weeks.

Imo this was Putin's way of getting KSA to the table.

Saudi dropped prices in order to fuck us, Russia, and pretty much anybody whose economy depends on oil and gas production.

This is all theatre. Watch.
