It was reported this week that there is a possibility of Saudi Arabia’s purchase of Russian weapons. According to reports, the decision came after the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin with Deputy Crown Prince and Defense Minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman earlier this summer.
Such a move was interpreted in the West as a message to the U.S., which provides the Saudis with up to 40 percent of all their weapons. Another explanation of such a move could be the warming relations between Saudi Arabia and Russia, the countries that barely talked in the previous few years.
With recent done deal between Iran and Russia over the delivery of the S-300 long-range surface-to-air missile systems by the end of 2015 as well as the plans of Saudis to buy Russian arms, it seems that the Kremlin is looking to drum up support and strengthen its influence in the region.

Russia will do anything to stop any gas pipeline to Europe that jeopardizes their Gazprom sales.
Continuous war in the region is Russia's "solution" to profit protection.

THE evil empire, huh? And Russia has directly invaded how many countries there?
Zero.
But arms those that are still Sovereign, to prevent more NATO Expansion in the region, like Syria and Iran.
The US does its arming and supplying through Proxy, like the Kingdom of Saud, the largest client the US arms Industry has in the world.

So now lets blame Russia for arming the region as a response to US presence there and blame them for the whole debacle. Lets even call it Putins war…

We both see the same world, we just see different paths through it.
Even in heated debate, I stop sometimes and think.... " I can't really argue with that" so I ommit that portion and continue, because I know you are right.
