Speaking to reporters after a second day of meetings with Secretary of State John Kerry, Saudi FM Adel al-Jubeir confirmed that “discussions” are ongoing about the possibility of sending special forces, or even a broader “ground force contingent” into Syria.
The comments come just days after Saudi Brig. Gen. Ahmed Asiri suggested the idea of sending troops into Syria to participate in a broader ground war including the US and other coalition members to fight against ISIS.
Jubeir’s comments didn’t go into as much detail about the need for a coalition “consensus” on the operation, or really how much of the rest of the coalition would have to contribute ground troops to get the Saudis to commit to the attack.
The US State Department praised the suggestion, saying they “welcome this proposal” and believe the Saudis could indeed intensify their efforts in the war by “introducing some ground elements,” though they too were unwilling to go into detail about exactly what form this deployment would take.
This will be the excuse for introducing U.S. troops into direct combat is Syria. Even Sanders has advocated using Saudi troops to achieve U..S. ambitions on the ground in Syria and Iraq.
“U.S. ambitions?” Care to elaborate?
Everything the U.S. touches in the Middle East
is a total disaster.
Saudi troops in Syria would not be fighting against ISIS; they’d be fighting for ISIS.
Where will the Saudis get the fighter from? Haven’t they already emptied the prisons to make them join ISIS?,Will the King join the infantry or the Navy? Either way,it won’t matter to Jubier because he would enlist him for the AirForce .
Which side will they fight on?
February 03, 2016 Goodbye Petrodollar: Russia Accepts Yuan, Is Now China’s Biggest Oil Partner
‘Russia reaps the rewards of dumping the dollar’ At the start of the decade, Saudi Arabia enjoyed a 20% share of Chinese crude imports, while Russia was lagging far behind with 7%. Now the Saudis find themselves neck and neck with Moscow for the lead in Chinese market share, with both performing in the 13-16% range. But Russia’s share continues to rise, as The Kingdom struggles to maintain a foothold. Why? Analysts attribute Russia’s huge market share growth to its willingness to accept yuan, while Saudi Arabia is still clinging to blood-soaked dollars.
