What are you talking about? Russia want cheap oil? They want HIGHER oil prices as they export a lot of it and the higher the prices, the better for them

Also, Iran does not want Saudi Arabia -- they don't want anything to do with that s*&!hoile

the Iranis want Shia Iraq and a renewed Achaemenid Empire right up to the Mediterranean. This will backfire on the Ayatollahs and the people will then shrug off Islam

The Hapsburgs are also far more ancient - the Sauds are just from the late 1700s and are not descended from nobility

the Hapsburgs in contrast date back a 1000 years

Exactly — Israel and the USA should sit it out. The Saudis expect their “blue-eyed slaves” to fight and die for them. To hades with them — let them get slaughtered by the Iranis

Lucy Hamilton is correct -- the Assad dictatorship protects Christians -- Christians are allowed to be Syrian citizens, to worship and live in peace. They formed 10% of Syria's citizenship before 2003 and 20% until 2011 (due to people running from Iraq).

how many Christians in Saudi Arabia? 0%

Are you allowed to carry a Bible or crucifix into Saudi ARabia? NO. It will be confiscated and burnt on entry.

Assad is an angel compared to the Saudis

I am thinking a Russian/Iranian alliance with an assist from the Chinese.

It would not take much to conquer Riyadh, Medina and Mecca.

The fuse is lit—there will be war in the Middle East.

I agree. We should have overtaken the Saudis in 2001.

We had excellent reasons to.

Now, when Russia, Iran and China converge in Syria, there will be many prizes for the taking.

SA is just one of them.

Under Obama, you can bet he will do nothing to confront Putin, who I suspect is his real boss anyhow.

Assad can talk tough now, with Putin and soon, Iran, behind him.

I agree. A big war is coming and this time the Continental United States is going to get hit.

Can you imagine the swarms of Muslim fire ants if Mecca and Medina get leveled?

Another thing to consider is what the “refugees” in Europe and the USA could do when they are activated.

Two guys with a pressure cooker tied up Boston. LOL

No, not yet.

Will happen even if it is only to protect the thousands of Americans working for ARAMCO.

With this clown in the WH, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. The Russians just evicted us from the middle East.

While that may happen eventually, I don’t think Russia gives a damn about ISIS right now. They’re focused on the immediate strategic goal: keep Assad in power. That means defeating the Free Syrian Army or whatever the hell our “moderate Islam allies” are called.
