Saudi's filled a vacuum after it was clear Obama policies was a big shift. If you watched the debates that is also true of Russia and Putin. We can talk to what has occurred around the world since weakness sensed.

Default Why the Saudis unfriended the U.S.

Anyone who thinks the Saudis were ever a "friend" to America is delusional.

True-

However, the world has respected and feared the US military and economic might............................................. ............. until Obama.

Now we have a weak, incompetent president who has left the world wondering as to why the US abandoned its allies and ran from its enemies. This has both military and economic consequences for the US and the world.

The world is far more dangerous, unstable place under the weakness of Obama. The left, seeking to "befriend" every evil, dubious nation as though they were a fake friend in "Face Book" has now realized that the world is not that naive and does not work that way.

Let us hope that Obama does not bring us to the brink of WWIII before he leaves office.

Right. They are pissed because we did not attack Syria as they commanded. The truth is, that the US does not take commands from Saudi Arabia. Maybe one day we will have another Bush who will take commands from Saudis, while performing "sword dances" for their entertainment, but I hope that will not happen again.

We have no friends in politics,we have partners,that's all.
We are customers with every country of the planet (UK,Germany,France,israel,Canada),we have no friends,only interests.
There is no friendship in politics,only interests,this topic is not foolish at all.

We'll see if the foreign press is right.
O will send troops in there and take Assad out.

Watch. His ego can't take the beating from Putin.
