“Russia has 20 million Muslims living in it.”
Questions?
Another great move by Obama?
Well, SA is largely a Dicktatorship too.
So Russia is lining up with Saudi Arabia and America is already lined up with Iran.
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.
Obama drives another ally to the Russian camp.
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
This not going to end well
Too late....
Russia is already allied with Iran, Syria and Iraq against Saudi Arabia’s proxy army ISIS aka Al Qaeda. Putin is the master chess player at the moment.
I guess Saudi Arabia has realized they jumped the shark?
Remember it was only two months ago Saudia Arabia was fuming over Russia taking out ISIS in Syria.
We must have privately told Saudi Arabia we are not going to back them. Hence, why Saudi Arabia is now wanting to be friends with Russia.
I have no doubt Putin and China will take advantage of this.
Russia...yeah, they will be good friends to the Saudis.
What is it? 80% of their income comes from energy sales. They want to be friends with Saudi Arabia just to get close enough to stick a dagger in their back.
Russia will talk to them, but allow their buddies from across the way to sneak up and stick it to the KSA.
The House of Saud is done. Stick a fork in them.
