Riyadh actually acknowledged the provision of military assistance to the Syrian opposition

25
Edition Foreign Policy It comes out with material that speaks about the decision of the official Riyadh to reduce assistance to the so-called Syrian opposition. The submission says that the head of Saudi diplomacy, Adel Al-Jubeir, previously addressed representatives of the “opposition” Syrian structures with a statement about the need for a transition to the political process and the rejection of military confrontation with Bashar Assad (the government army).

According to Al-Jubeira, the opposition, in case of readiness for the talks to be held in Russia (in Sochi) in January, will be in the “best position to reach agreements on political processes in Syria”.



The publication, citing the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, notes that Jubeir declared its readiness to reduce military assistance to the opposition if they continue to confront the government forces of the Syrian Arab Republic.

Riyadh actually acknowledged the provision of military assistance to the Syrian opposition


This material in the Western press actually proves that the so-called Syrian opposition is directly supported militarily and financially by Riyadh and its allies. Moreover, it is precisely with the means of Saudi Arabia that the “oppositionists” have been conducting military operations with the UAR government forces for a long time.

Against this background, Foreign Policy notes that the decision of Saudi Arabia can be considered a clear diplomatic victory for Russia against the background of a weakening of the US position on Syria.

      Yes, it’s not a victory ... it’s just that the SAUDOV clan is having a hard time inside its godfather.
      The war against the Hussites ... the princes got too busy ... cats snickered like cats don’t want to do anything ... the country's budget is sharply reduced and the people in the country are worried ... they got worried.

        So be it. I always include the Jewish principle: is it convenient for Russia? So done right.

      It’s too early to count victories there. Different things can be said in the words of a politician, but in silence they create what is beneficial to them.

    Riyadh actually acknowledged the provision of military assistance to the Syrian opposition

    Reciprocity is the main thing. They help ISIS, and we give them C400.

      I do not understand the negative. and you (ATS) were going to bomb them? even selling products there is less profitable - they can be transferred to the "opposition", it will not work with the C400. well, their neighbors will not bomb, is this bad for us?

      finally, it’s just that the author of the article put out such a title !!! I saw a strikingly different headline last night in other publications ... they just reported that the Saudis blocked the opposition’s financial support ... at the same time, there’s a double-edged sword ... scumbling how to head it !! wassat wassat lol lol lol

    What was - was. Of course, the turn of events in Syria played an important role. Arrival in Moscow, after which the confrontation ceases, although not everyone went for it - definitely (a small part). Weapons on everyone’s hands remained. Most importantly, once again - I saw a flaming region - you can deal with Moscow.

        Sooner or later, she will appear, even if indirectly. Yes, our not desire will not help. For everything done, bad or good, you have to answer. Not in heaven, (I do not belong to one denomination) but here on earth.

    What is surprising in the news?
    The military opposition is supported by the West and Saudi Arabia, and this was already known.

    The military opposition is recognized by both the West and Russia, which is why it participates (or is invited to participate) in resolving the Syrian issue and, for example, Putin, spoke of the opposition as a completely legitimate force in Syria, otherwise he would not have called them too to participate in resolving the future of Syria.

    Riyadh actually recognized
    You would think that few people knew about this. They will officially announce that they are curtailing the help of the opposition, and do not go to help their mother.

    "Riyadh has actually recognized the provision of military assistance to the Syrian opposition"
    - Al-Jubair, in fact, admitted that the armed opposition in Saudi Arabia must provide military assistance.

    The oppressed Arabs are sitting with their seats in oil, under the USA, and they are turning grandmas. No sense, no progress, no sense in their existence, only grandmothers mow and drive jeeps across the desert.
