Why are the Sauds not being their normal puppet selves? I have been blown away by the neutrality of Israel, Saudi Arabia/Gulf States & India tbh. Expected them all to line up at attention for NATO’s role call but they aren’t…

OPEC was founded by Venezuela, they have at times bowed to sanctions by not acting out

I guess I overestimated their allegiance with the US and underestimated their ties with Russia

Our fake friends can see the writing on the wall that NATO isn’t all that hegemonic. Turkey probably won’t stick around in NATO for all that long either. Some sort of Israeli, Turkish and Saudi axis might form in the ME.

The Saudi won’t be long for the world without western backing. Sadly I think that’s for the worse because ISIS 2.0 will be inevitable. The Ghosts of the Ikwan will return with a vengeance.
