SAUDI ARABIA AND SYRIA



SAUDI’S SYRIAN ADVENTURES MAY SOON BE OVER

Reports of SAUDI king’s possible visit to RUSSIA indicate that SAUDI ARABIA’S adventurism in SYRIA is coming to a close.

According to the RUSSIAN presidential press secretary, DMITRY PESKOV, the visit of SAUDI King SALMAN BIN ABDULAZIZ AL SAUD to RUSSIA is being worked out and agreed through diplomatic channels.

This shows RIYADH is ready to reach a ‘compromised solution’ on the SYRIAN crisis – a solution that may not be what the US seems to be attempting to achieve through its renewed engagement in SYRIA and IRAQ and its (possible) policy of balkanization of SYRIA into different “safe zones.”

As is evident, the kingdom’s engagement in SYRIA and YEMEN has rather grown overstretched. Military fatigue in YEMEN and resource fatigue in SYRIA seem to be getting the better of its establishment that no longer seems ‘energetic’ enough to keep itself embroiled in the conflict, especially when no ‘rational’ and balanced solution, as far as the SAUDI position is concerned, is available in the hindsight.
