Indeed it is the first time ever, for a Saudi monarch to visit Russia, The king of Saudi Arabia and Mr. Putin in Moscow had many meetings , many exchanges, and signed deals that are very significant to both , the world geopolitics and the U.S. The Saudi side will pump many billions of Dollars, into the Russian economy, a first by all aspects, and the Russian counterpart will send some considerable and advanced military hardware, including the famed S-400 anti aircraft missile system.
To look at it strategically, as the Saudi side historically got its military hardware, and more from the U.S. turned it into a significant development, for the area, Saudi itself, and some other allies like Pakistan and others .
The U.S. has been a trusted ally and protector of Saudi, and many other Arab entities, as well as Pakistan, since their inceptions and founding, the U.S. replaced the hegemony and colonialism of classical Europe , plus the implanting of Israel in the M-E, by a pseudo relation of friendship and trust. They all faced a rising Soviet Union , and went into a cold war instigated mostly by the U.S.
The United States confronted a new enemy, and needed some new allies across the glob, to help contain the spread of Soviet influence, Saudi and Pakistan were such exemplary allies. Somehow this whole scene is over, and the logic behind it no longer interest the U.S. and many of our older allies are drifting away , looking and searching for new partners and different alliances, leaving us stuck with some alienating relationships, with entities like Israel that do not help nor advance our position, or our interests in the world or the Middle East. Making it increasingly difficult to manage the entire area of the M-E, as well as South and East Asia.
The U.S. lately became the hegemonic par excellence we know today , with our unchecked adventures and political weird decisions like the latest pulling off UNESCO, and threatening the United nations, strictly for the sake of Israel's Netanyahu and his alt right partners . Our policies are uncertain to say the least, our unconditional support of a colonial , apartheid state like Israel, is becoming blind and unquestioned and puts us in the follower position that we should not be in, isolating us from a whole Arab and Islamic world, throwing us into a stupid cosines with a very costly recipient of 3 to 4 Billion Dollars yearly of tax payer's money. All dating back to at least 50 years now, and still going like no other time, with no questioning what so ever.
The U.S. of today has clearly moved even closer to Israel in all policies, for no clear Trumpist reasons and his administration's political immaturity. Back up, financial and armament unchecked support, we have reached a total accommodation with Israeli rhetoric and hegemony, even theft and apartheid , Drifting away from our other allies , while toppling some potential allies, pushing everyone to start crafting new national security policies, and addressing several regional security issues in different frame minds. Rather than letting the U.S implement these plans for them. Reaching out to Russia and China, and some European countries, is becoming the norm of the new strategies and securities.
The problem for the U.S. strategically is that while its relations and influence over the entire M-E, are changing , improving or deteriorating , America and its politicians are not realizing that they still need to work and coordinate with all sides, including maybe saving the Iranian nuclear deal, and not to succumb to only one side and one narrow hegemonic vision.
As we need to make sure Iran doesn't grow too powerful in the Middle East , we need to make sure Israel Neocons and religious ultra right, don't step too much their presumed security needs and turn them into destructive hegemony and colonialism, dragging us and the world with them . America as the supper power it is , needs all sides, and has to maintain a power leverage over all sides, regardless of our petty elections and monetary local election needs and lobbying influences.
It's a crazy enough world as it is , and recent history proved it several times during the last century, and through this one , do we need more moron politicians and crazy leaders all over to restart and jump start new world adventures, conflicts and hellish experiences ???
My as always, many thanks for everything .
