Honestly, I hope Russia stays away from Saudi Arabia... making a deal with them under any circumstances would really bite Russia sooner or later and would hurt their reputation badly among allies and neutral countries

I thought the same and then changed my mind.
Russia cannot afford to 'not play' this strategic chess piece...  this is a weapon.
They must use it. It's war... rules are different when the enemy is at the gates.
'Alliance' is not the same as endorsement. (see Russia-Israel relations)..
They MUST capture this chess piece if they can.

I understand the "realpolitik", I understand that war is not a football match where fair game should be expected. I understand that it is good to keep your friends close and enemy even closer.
But still, I don't like it. You don't make a deal wit the evil, you fight it. You do not endorse it. This (if it happens) could be a move in the wrong direction. Just my humble opinion...

I wonder what Turkey and America have planned for Manbij remember from Manbij you can get to the East of the Euphrates. It would be a disaster for Assad if Turkey combined it's forces with American backed Arab proxies and Turkish backed forces could travel to deir ezzor and back and America could send weapons to terrorists in Idlib.

BREAKING: Germany will not export weapons to Saudi Arabia while questions remain about the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, Chancellor Angela Merkel says - REU

Oh for fucks sake, this is so fucking hypcritic it's beyond believe. The House of Saud kills thousands of Yemeni civilians for 4th year in a row, they chopp off heads of dozens of nameless people every year and, just now, Anglea fucking Merkel is horrified with Khashoggi's murder? Not sayin' that they should ignore this too (as they usually do). But it's just screaming to everyone's face "We are fucking hypocrites, dirty lowlifes who play humanitarian card only to back our own interests. But now, as Turks boradcasted this all over the world, we need to pretend condemnation, too."

Fuck all of them.

^^Agree. Morally, I find it reprehensible. From the perspective of Putin, I think it's actually necessary that he remains neutral. I don't like it, but I get it. Not that he cares what we think, anyway. haha

Trump says Israel does not want peace.

Trump reported to be losing faith in Netanyahu’s commitment to peace

During the meeting, Macron told Trump, “my impression is that Netanyahu does not really want to advance in the peace process because he likes the status quo.”

“You know, I’m very close to reaching the same conclusion,” Channel 10 quotes Trump to have responded, basing the report off four diplomatic officials with knowledge of the meeting.

“So why were you tough only with the Palestinians?” Macron is said to have responded in turn.

“I was tough with the Palestinians because they would not talk to us and it’s unacceptable,” Trump is said to have responded

“I gave (Netanyahu) a lot. I moved the embassy to Jerusalem and every year we give them $5 billion.” (The US actually gives Israel $3.8 billion annually)

“You know, I can be tough with Bibi (about my peace plan) as I was with the Palestinians.”
