After a failed effort to sell the American public on a war with Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry’s job increasingly has boiled down to apologizing to other nations for America’s recent involvement in international diplomacy.
Amid ongoing efforts to placate Israel over the sudden outbreak of negotiations, particularly with Iran, Secretary Kerry now met with Saudi Prince Saud al-Faisal, aiming to calm his government’s anger about the talks with Iran and the lack of war with Syria.
With the Saudi government throwing huge support behind the rebels, the lack of a US invasion of Syria is a particular sore spot, and the Saudi stance toward chemical disarmament has been indifference, at best, and annoyance that the disarmament deal got in the way of a Western invasion.
Kerry sought to assure the Saudi prince that the US shares its “goals” of ending Iran’s civilian nuclear program, ending Syria’s civil war and a “stable Egypt,” but particularly within the Saudi government those stated goals in Iran and Syria are simply shorthand for regime change, and anything that moves the US further away from invading those nations is going to be seen as contrary to the Saudi agenda, and the Saudis will continue to distance themselves from the US.
They just bought 15 billion dollars useless weapon from USG, in another word the briber is looking for some explanation, and bribed one knows that he have to explain his position, otherwise next order is going to be $15dollars or the Saudis and UAE going to start bribing Russians, or the Swedish government for that matter, that is to say, if they are not already bribing the Swedish one for supporting Saudis tyranny and what comes with it.
Time to tell the Saudi satellite to shut up, or the Arab spring will reach the Persian Gulf.
Why not put a nuke up their ass instead? It's not like they are particularly good friends and they threatened to blow up the Winter Olympic Games, which would could cause Seeerious trouble. Plus, nukes are easy to come by but I understand there is serious subsidizing of the Saudi Royal Power Projection.
