Putin not waiting for Trump to press advantage in Syria
Putin wastes no time in Syria
Although US President-elect Donald Trump has signaled his willingness to work with Russia to end the war in Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin is taking nothing for granted.
Trump said in an interview with The New York Times on Nov. 22, “We have to
end that craziness that’s going on in Syria.”
Maxim Suchkov writes that while there is cautious optimism about Trump’s position on Syria, Putin is also aware that the US Congress may seek to box in Trump, as
Julian Pecquet has reported, so Russia will not be squandering the remaining weeks of the Obama administration.
would suggest that TRUMP and the SAUDIS have that MONEY HUNGER in common,so can see them getting on famously ..
in saying that it would be damn foolish i think for a us/them scenario
Usa/Saudis/Israel vs Iran/Russia/Turkey possibly China/NK huh'
pure conjecture but WTF
Saudi Arabia encouraged by Trump on Iran
Bruce Riedel writes that Saudi Arabia is “pleased with the strong talk from Trump and his appointees on Iran. Articles by key future decision-makers such as retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and Kansas congressman Mike Pompeo's articulating the need for tougher American responses to Iran subversion and terrorism have been well-received in Riyadh.”
“The United Nations-endorsed nuclear deal with Iran is not Riyadh's priority,” Riedel explains, “instead, the Saudis want international attention and sanctions focused on Iranian subversion. They will welcome calls for regime change in Tehran and efforts to de-legitimize the Islamic Republic."
