This is a jaw-dropping exhibition of the scope of President Trumps strategic leverage. Remember how Secretary of State Rex Tillerson refused to take the bait from Senator Marco Rubio regarding Saudi Arabia? Put this outcome in the dividend column.
Those who have not followed the back-story of non-extremist politics in the middle-east will miss the obvious play identified more readily by those who have followed closely.
One of the major influences and advisers for King Salman of Saudi Arabia is Egyptian President Fattah Abdel el-Sisi. El-Sisi has already established a productive relationship with President Trump both before and after the election. No doubt King Salman and President Sisi debriefed the prior conversations between Trump and el-Sisi.
Today King Salman agrees to a primary expressed policy position of President Trump. Saudi Arabia will support and finance safe zones within Syria and Yemen. This is a big, big deal.

Are they providing all financing..I thought putin Was against
The Wahhabi death cult nut jobs are the problem, not the solution. Create “safe zones” in the Shitdom of Saudi Barbaria, not in other sovereign nations. ISIS & Al Qaeda’s evil cult originates and is supported by the Shitdom.
Yet another WIN. Are you tired of winning yet. Mr. President...please ...no more...
Awesome Trump!!
Good idea. Next make them Islam free zones.
Putin has thrown in with Iran for some inexplicable reasons.
3d chess...
Great post!
Thanks. Perfect rebuttal, for our pearl clutchers saying “Oh no, Trump has lost it again.”
How does sundance keep up with all these new developments?
Military Sales or something like that. I've always assumed it was driven by some mutual trade advantage. Otherwise it makes no sense.
And anyone who can explain the Syria - Iran Love Affair is welcome to educate us all.
No doubt in the world of muzloids, the Wahabi’s are plain crazy...but let them spe THEIR cash on supporting these cockraoches OVER THERE, instead of letting them show up here.
Didn’t happen YEARS AGO cuz the Saudis figgered they had locked in pressure relief elsewhere, Europe, USA, etc.
BIG WIN.
Let them feel the heat, they’ll see the light.
if zero wanted this, he could of done it....but he had other ideas
Awesome Trump!!
(Why could Bambi not have accomplished it during those 8 looooooooooooooooooooong years?)
How I miss him. NOT.
‘safe zone” that will provide the Syrian land the Saudis need for their new pipeline.Presumably because the Saudis will be given the
IOW....Trump threatened to ban their asses from our country, too?
As long as that’s not the USA carving a slice out of Syria and keeping the Syrian government out. We have ZERO interest in helping rebels against Assad.
It should be extremely small. The size of a city, not a region of the country.
But we need to be on guard against establishing a no fly zone and other crap. Blow ISIS to smithereens and leave.
