#3 Gotta give Putin credit here, for showing the Saudis the same treatment they give others.

#5 It was basic common sense, of which Americanos apparently have none of. In fact, go further, if no structures are allowed in the desert within one year, all structures (armories) in Russsia come tumbling down.

#6 Most nations tip-toe around the Saudis.

For example, India only sends a Muslim male as ambassador.

To her credit, Condi Rice refuses to wear a headscarf when she visits.
But Putin takes the prize for this...

#7 I take it that russia is the only country that dare stand up to them because they are one of the few on this planet that do not import saudi oil?
We should joint this elite group.
