Wait, What: Saudi Arabia Sides with Putin

That face Putin makes whenever Obama says or does anything.

Putin has announced that his operation in Syria is more successful than the operations of the West.

In all fairness, Putin, the only reason the US wasn’t destroying ISIS is because ISIS is its ally against Assad. So comparing what you’re doing to what the ZOG did isn’t really a fair comparison.

Bloomberg:

Russian President Vladimir Putin defended his air and cruise-missile strikes on terror targets in Syria as two Saudi Arabian officials softened their government’s position on the fate of Bashar al-Assad.

Putin discussed his Syria campaign on Sunday with Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister Mohammed Bin Salman, who signaled a willingness to let al-Assad remain in power longer, while the foreign ministers of both nations also met to consider the situation in Syria.

Wow, that’s a step.

Saudi Arabia was the one throwing the biggest fit over this, now they’re backing down and taking a position closer to Putin’s than the West?

Putin’s bombing campaign to support his ally Assad took the U.S. and NATO by surprise and overshadowed a flurry of diplomacy over how to tackle the conflict. As Russia builds up its military presence in Assad’s stronghold on the eastern Mediterranean Sea, U.S. President Barack Obama dismissed any notion that his leadership on the world stage was being challenged.

Now Russia is leading the diplomatic charge, with Putin in bilateral meetings with Abu Dhabi crown prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed, who were in Sochi in southern Russia, site of a Formula 1 auto race. Putin again called for a political resolution emanating from Assad’s government.

It is yet to be seen if he is beating you militarily Obama, as none of us are on the ground in Syria and we don’t really know what’s going on. We can assume he is beating you.

But he just objectively beat you at diplomacy. Saudi Arabia is supposed to be your second greatest ally ever, and just last week they were having a meltdown telling you to do something to stop Russia killing their dudes.

Later in the day, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met with his Saudi counterpart, Adel Al-Jubeir, who said through a translator that Assad must depart after a political transition. Previously, the kingdom’s position was that Assad’s departure was a precondition to any settlement.

This transitional government must develop principles for the implementation of
reforms, develop a constitution, and of course, as a result that will lead to the resignation of Bashar Assad,” Al-Jubeir said.

It actually won’t lead to that and this guy presumably knows it.

This is a full-on reversal.

Putin said the Russian air campaign was already more effective than discontinued U.S. efforts to support some militant groups.

“It would have been better to give us $500 million,” Putin said of the aborted U.S. program to fund the Free Syrian Army. “At least we would have used it more effectively from the point of view of fighting international terrorism.”

Ouch.

Speaking in an interview with state-run television channel Rossiya 1 broadcast on Sunday, Putin said Russia’s involvement was legal and reasonable because it followed a Syrian request for assistance. He questioned whether the U.S. had lived up to either of those standards.

“The simplest solution for them would be to join us and, in that way, legalize their actions on Syrian territory,” Putin said of the U.S.

Yes. If ISIS was the target, that would be the simplest solution.

Regrettably, that is not the situation.
