Saudi Arabia on arms shopping spree in Russia
There are many possible reasons for this new axis to emerge, Saudi’s worry over Iran( Saudi Arabia may be courting Russia to gain influence in the Kremlin in order to encourage Russia to reduce help to Iran) Also it may be Saudi Arabia feels slighted by the west over many issues. What is clear though is that two of the world’s largest oil producers coming together may impact oil prices for the worse. Also what is clear is Saudi Arabia feels western protection and help in a great deal many issues may not be as forth coming as it needs, thus Saudi is seeking closer ties with many countries to protect itself.
For Russia this represents a coup in influencing an area that is traditionally considered very western orientated.
