I understand that Saudi Arabia bragged (through one of their “Princes) that they now control Chechnia and that they (SA) are ticked off about the way Russia is treating Syria.
I would not be surprised to see some high value targets seriously damaged in both Saudi and Chechnia. Putin may not be a poster boy for freedom but he won’t be PC over those he believes are hurting Russia. SA can be badly hurt by the “untimely” release of Russian oil and gas. Chechnia could get a taste of what the Ukraine was force-fed as the holdomor.
(Getting old has some strange side effects. I’m not sure of the spelling of many of the words I just typed but I think I was able to make my point. Sorry.)
It was loud and clear to me.
