Saudi king agrees in call with Trump to support Syria, Yemen safe zones: White House
Reuters via The Conservative Treehouse ^ | January 29, 2017 | Reuters via Sundance

This is a jaw-dropping exhibition of the scope of President Trump’s strategic leverage. Remember how Secretary of State Rex Tillerson refused to take the bait from Senator Marco Rubio regarding Saudi Arabia? Put this outcome in the dividend column.

Those who have not followed the back-story of non-extremist politics in the middle-east will miss the obvious play identified more readily by those who have followed closely.

One of the major influences and advisers for King Salman of Saudi Arabia is Egyptian President Fattah Abdel el-Sisi. El-Sisi has already established a productive relationship with President Trump both before and after the election. No doubt King Salman and President Sisi debriefed the prior conversations between Trump and el-Sisi.

Today King Salman agrees to a primary expressed policy position of President Trump. Saudi Arabia will support and finance “safe zones” within Syria and Yemen. This is a big, big deal.

The Wahhabi death cult nut jobs are the problem, not the solution. Create “safe zones” in the Shitdom of Saudi Barbaria, not in other sovereign nations. ISIS & Al Qaeda’s evil cult originates and is supported by the Shitdom.

Great post!

Thanks. Perfect rebuttal, for our pearl clutchers saying “Oh no, Trump has lost it again.”

Military Sales or something like that. I've always assumed it was driven by some mutual trade advantage. Otherwise it makes no sense.

And anyone who can explain the Syria - Iran Love Affair is welcome to educate us all.

As long as that’s not the USA carving a slice out of Syria and keeping the Syrian government out. We have ZERO interest in helping rebels against Assad.

It should be extremely small. The size of a city, not a region of the country.

But we need to be on guard against establishing a no fly zone and other crap. Blow ISIS to smithereens and leave.
