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.

And potentially bankrupt America, another goal of the #JihadJunta.
This is diplomacy at its best. Wait until your opponent is neck deep in his own crap and move swiftly to strike new deals with his allies.
Brilliant!
“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.”
My kids have been telling me for several years that this would happen.
They also told me Trump would lose through vote fraud a year ago.
I used to dismiss their “conspiracy theories”. I’m listening now and they scare the crap out of me.
Yep
When you tuck tail and run... You find yourself with FEW friends.
I’d really like to put a brave face on things. But, lets face it, things don’t look good AND it doesn’t look like it will be getting better any time soon. I’m making some plans. I think we ALL need to plan for the disasters to come.
Think of it like the mafia. It doesn’t matter if the Iranians hate you, if you are both paying protection to the same “boss”, then the Iranians can’t touch you without the boss’s okay.
A Middle East NATO.
Been doing that since Jan 2020 - have made well over 50 new like-minded friends doing the same.
I wish good luck to you and all yours.
