Saudi and Russian officials Tuesday announced the signing of military cooperation pact between the two countries.
Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman announced the agreement via Twitter, stating it would aid in “developing joint military cooperation between the two countries.” In a second tweet, he elaborated on his meeting with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Shoygu, in which the pair explored ways to “strengthen the military and defense cooperation between our two countries.”

“We aim for a progressive development of cooperation in military and military-technical fields on the entire spectrum of issues that pose mutual interest,” Shoigu said, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFERL).
Neither signatory party specified any of the deal’s terms, but RFERL noted the signing occurred outside of an arms expo in Moscow. Russia is the world’s second-largest arms exporter aside from the United States while Saudi Arabia is the number one state purchaser of military hardware.
The United States has historically been a major supplier of weapons to the Saudi monarchy. Former President Donald Trump maintained close ties with Riyadh, aiming to bolster the regime against Iran. His arms sales to the Saudis prompted congressional rebuke and Trump subsequently vetoed measures to block arms sales to the country. President Joe Biden, however, reversed course and suspended arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates this year.

How true!
It's doubtful Biden will survive his first stolen year. He is only a feeble, pathetic figure head. His handlers are pulling the strings and making policy while putting all their team players in place. The Marxist true believers are in every high level position within our government including the military.
Consequences of biblical proportions—covid the pestilence—vax and proof of vax the mark of the beast, alliance of Russia, China, Persia, Arabia, America, Europe, etc, etc, etc.
This is going to tell the countries in the world not to trust the Americans. And I don’t blame them. This is good for Russia. They won’t ever dare to be hypocrites when it comes to human rights and refuse to sell your military weapons.
That Saudi guy looks like he’s smiling.
I thought thee Russians were in bed with the Iranians? And the Iranians hate the Saudis?
Stunning convergence of all those in short record time. ....issues of the dollar currency etc could be sooner rather than later. Brics was already striving for it’s hand in it for sometime. The pot is certainly being stirred!
When push comes to shove the Muslims will be on the same page for a time, if it means the US is less powerful.....and Russia/China’s bedfellows will only last for a time.
Eventually the Islamic brood with Russia will make a joint move...and China will then as the worm turns.
Evidently the people believed them. Let then enjoy Biden. Him and the People deserve each other.
A couple of years ago, opec discussed using currencies other than the dollar. Can you direct me to any current discussion? I’m unable to locate anything. TIA
Are you referring to the Abraham Accords?
Well isn’t that just peaches?
The result of a Dem Mafia stolen election.
Look at the wages of Dem CRT tyranny folks!
Russia ( next China) takes over the Middle East .
Stolen elections have conseqences.
Donald Trump: “ Miss me yet?”
I am hearing that OPEC may be looking at selling its oil in currencies other than the dollar which will affect the dollar’s reserve currency status. This will cause catastrophic damage to the value of the dollar and potentially massive inflation.
***********************************************************************************
Already happening. Saudis signed a deal a while back with China to supply them with oil, and agreed to settle with China’s currency.
Obama’s actions with respect to Iran was likely considered a stab in the back. Seems as though USA is going to be losing influence in the Middle East.
Looks more like they are lining up...
#tryconvicthang
MY GOD! He gave away all that?!?!? Geez, Biden armed the Taliban for months/years to come.
