In one fell swoop the Saudis can make their competitors in North America very uncomfortable, injure the Russian producers, deny funds to the terrorist army that espouses an anti-Saudi form of Islam, and claim they're doing all of it to further the foreign policy goals of their western customers. It's essentially win, win, win for the Saudis.I can't say I have much sympathy for Russia or Putin. If he was such a strategic genius he should have recognized the simple fact that his largely single resource economy was susceptible to the Saudis' machinations should he embark upon some foolish foreign misadventures. |
