So Russia is lining up with Saudi Arabia and America is already lined up with Iran.
To: Trumpinator
I wonder if Putin will bow down when meeting them?

trying to undercut Iran by offering the Russkies a different client state in the ME. Also, puts the US on notice that SA is not a puppet state, so you’d better KMA a little more.
Similar to Somalia/Ethiopia move in the Ogaden War.

Another Obama accomplishment as Saudi Arabia begins to pivot to the new strong horse, Russia.

Oh, NOW the Saudis go sucking up to the Russians.
Why, they afraid of something and they have no effective military infrastructure?
That is what you get for cozying up to the Americans for years. The Current Regime has thrown the Saudis to the curb.
Now the only possible ally the Saudis can find are - the Israelis.

The Saudis are already working with the Israelis. They have a common enemy—Iran.

Because the Muslim Brotherhood freaks even the Saudis out (probably because they are not a jihad group founded by the Saudis) they shored up Sissi in Egypt but Egypt quickly also saddled up to Russia. So the Egyptians were compromised. Kind of chess like if you think about it.

Sadly, the Christians are in the middle and are considered acceptable casualties in Syria and Iraq in this Iran vs Sunni/Israel block.

S*it.
We will have zero clout over there by 2017 if we re lucky.
Russia/ISIS now own the place.

Saudi Arabia will build 200,000 Mosques in Russia as a sign of friendship
To: GregoTX
I would bet Putin won’t bow down and he won’t hold the King’s hand as they stroll in the garden but he will probably enjoy accepting a gift of a beautiful Arabian horse, gold, and jewelry
and the nuts of the ISIS terrorists who coordinated the attack on the Russian airliner in the Sinai

Why the democrat party should be declared a Subversive Organization and banned forever:
- Japan and Germany spent trillions of dollars and lost 10 million people in WWII trying to destroy the USA and couldn't do it.
- Russia waged the Cold War against the USA for 45 years and spent trillions of dollars trying to destroy us and failed.
- But democrats and other stupid Americans voted Obama into office and in less than 7 years he has been able to cause more camage to the USA than Gernmany, Japan and Russia combined.
- AND - we paid him to do it.
