Vladimir Putin has met Saudi Arabia’s defence minister in Sochi as part of a Russian effort to reach out to enemies of the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad.
The Russian president met Sheikh Mohammed bin Salman, a son of the Saudi king, on the sidelines of a Formula One race on Sunday, nearly two weeks after Moscow began bombing enemies of Assad, including rebel groups that are supported by Riyadh.

What with camels and oxen?
And the US becomes even more irrelevant.
Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said after the meeting that Moscow understood Saudi concerns about Russian policy and the two countries shared the aim of preventing the establishment of a terrorist caliphate in Syria.
He said Russia was willing to increase cooperation with Saudi Arabia on Syria. “On both sides, as far as I can tell, there is an understanding that today’s meeting can advance our cooperation,” Lavrov said.
I think at this point the less owalla get’s involved in foreign affairs the better off we are.
I would think the number one issue they care about is the price of oil.
Russia would like Saudi Arabia to cut production to increase the price.
The Saudis lowered the price hoping to kill competitors such as fracking and oil sands.

Yep,but we’ll be back.

You probably give Saudi too much credit in controlling the price of oil.
That mooselimb needs to get up earlier so he doesn’t have to wear his pajamas to meetings.
“...And the US becomes even more irrelevant...”
And we should not forget what country the 9/11 Islamo-terrorists came from....hmmmmm.

I should’ve said, “increased production to try to lower the price.”
Putin is smarter than Barky - which is a very low bar. Almost every world leader is smarter than him.
Don Vito Corleone meeting Don Barzini.
Discussing how to eliminate Don 0bozo.
Lets he has Netanyahu , El-Sisi of Egypt and now the Saudis meeting Putin not Obama.
What Joke
The only things the Saudis could really do is pressure the other OPEC states to cut back production. Problem is, whenever they all agree to this, they invariably cheat and production is never actually cut.
