Russia Reignites The Proxy War: Putin Offers "Complete Support" To Iraq Prime Minister Scorned By Obama
Two days ago, before it was formalized that the US tacitly, if not explicitly, now supports the removal of the Iraqi Prime Minister whom it itself had helped elect, we summarized the geopolitical tensions and "national interests" in Iraq, which is shaping up to be a proxy war that makes last year's Syrian escapade pale by comparison, as follows:
The situation in Iraq, already a jumble of domestic sectarian violence, is now pitting virtually all major (and regional) international players against each other as well. There is:
- US which tacitly supports Iran intervention in the region, but may have suddenly cooled in its support of Maliki despite sending naval and troop forces in the country after partially evacuating its embassy
- Saudi Arabia which wants to remain friendly with the US but is antagonistic to the Iraq regime, is potentially aiding the ISIS forces, and clearly refuses to allow Iran entrance in Iraq
- Iran, which has suddenly become America's best friend in the region, which is willing to enter Iraq and protect its holy sites
- Syria, whose president is sitting back amused at last year's failed campaign by the US to remove him from power, and whose army is at a stalemate with the local US-armed and funded rebels
- Qatar, which is supporting the Syrian rebels, but so far has not made its stance clear on Iraq. Like Saudi, it too may be indirectly backing ISIS
- Jordan, which is a close friend the US, and which may have hosted ISIS in a secret base on its territory with the US instructing the jihadist group according to an unconfirmed report
- Turkey, which is on constant alert to Kurdish escalation across the border, the same Kurds which now have far more leverage courtesy of ISIS crushing the Iraq army in the north and handing over Kurds access to oil fields in the north.
- And of course Russia: because while Putin clearly benefits from rising crude prices, it is his Lukoil that is developing (and investing vast amounts of money in) the vast Iraqi West Qurna-2 oil field. It is not clear how he would feel about it falling into ISIS hands.
It was the bolded text that was of biggest interest because as we noted the next day, when discussing the next steps for ISIS, we said that "One wonders how long until the mercenary force finds its latest major backer, because for all the western, US-led intervention, both Russia and China are oddly missing from the scene. We expect that to change soon."
Because clearly one can't have a global proxy war without China, and certainly without Russia.
Well, we said we expected Russia's conspicuous absence to "change soon", and so it did: within just 24 hours. Because apparently all Putin was waiting for was for Obama to pick sides (i.e., not Maliki) before the Russian leader made it clear whom he sides with. US, helpfully obliged yesterday morning when we also reported that "US Slams Its Former Iraq Puppet: "The Maliki Government, Candidly, Has Got To Go"."
So what does Putin - who as a reminder is heavily invested in Iraq' massive West Qurna-2 oil field via Lukoil - do? Why announce his undying support for Maliki, of course, and as AP reported, the former KGB spy offered Iraqi premier Nuri al-Maliki Russia's total backing for the fight against fighters who have swept across the country, as well as his full support for the embattled prime minister.
More:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has spoken by phone to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, expressing Moscow’s support for his action against the militant offensive.
The Kremlin said in a statement that al-Maliki informed Putin on Friday about his government’s steps to combat the “terrorist groups in the north of the country.” It added that the insurgency threatens security of the entire region.
Putin confirmed Russia’s “full support for the Iraqi government’s action to quickly free the territory of the republic from terrorists,” the Kremlin said, adding that Putin and al-Maliki also discussed bilateral cooperation.
Putin’s expression of support for the embattled Iraqi prime minister comes as al-Maliki’s rivals have mounted a campaign to force him out of office, with some angling for support from Western backers and regional heavyweights.
And just like in Syria from 2012 to 2013, the chessboard is once again set, with a regional middle-east conflict, this time in Iraq, merely serving as the proxy staging ground in which the Iraqi PM, once an obedient US puppet but now an enemy of Saudi Arabia and thus the US, "simply has to go" in the words of Dianne Feinstein, has suddenly become the fulcrum issue behind yet another soon to escalate conflict between Russia and the US.
One thing is certain: the more the US (and Saudi Arabia, and Qatar) pushes for Maliki's ouster, the more involved Russia will become with its offers of support and bilateral cooperation. And if the Syrian fiasco (for John Kerry) is any indication, Russia is about to expand its "national interest" sphere of influence by one more country.

And was that part of the former USSR?
Not sure if he gave a shit....but he sure brought the pain train to town on some US proxy stooges in a most righteous way
If Iraq as a soverign nation asks for help and another country comes to their aid then it is all and well legal.
Are you from one of those really bad Porky's movies? Your name sounds familiar.
Maybe a couple of squadrons of SU-27/34's with rusion pilots, that would make a differance.
And maybe some russion ground troups incl tanks.
Yep... sure thing...
Worked in Korea in the early 50's Flak. Who were those very successful "N. Korean" pilots?
And all of them were very likely seasoned WWII vets...
Are you not surprised?
There are less than 2000 ISIL assholes in Iraq. A Russian division can mop the floor with them. They will not be playing under Obama's retarded RoE, and the locals all pretty much hate ISIS, with the exception of some of Saddam's old supporters.
If Al Maliki invites the Russians in, they will not just send a few hundred troops.
Just because Obama can't win a war with the best troops on earth does not mean that Putin can't with a large glob of the second string.
If Russian troops are deployed, they will ship to Syria, clean ISIL out, and roll into Iraq while the surviving border guards throw roses to them.
Best troops on earth??
Weren't those were George Armstrong Custer's last words as he rode down to the Greasy Grass.
No Custer said "men we have got them where we want them now"
You must have no friends flak.
What's Goldmans opinion on this?
Buy stawks? Short gold? Hell, I dunno.
.
To the anonymous up arrower...
I agree, the finger and hairline say so much that no words are required.
Curious about the "dot" though, wonder what that's all about?
<shrugs shoulders>
An attempt to put a period on the thread. Might be successful here.
"What's Goldmans opinion on this?"
I don't know. Maybe we should ask FlakMeister. I mean he loves the AGW storyline so much he must be holding some underwater carbon trading paper.
Edit - To whom it may concern at IBM Marketing, you are never going to get any milage out of associating your name with the very unattractive woman, decorating the ad of yours that keeps coming my way whenever I reply. I mean come on, she doesn't even look healthy. She's got bags under her eyes for instance.
So much for Jim Ricktards's assertion that Russia is backing ISIS together with Saudi Arabia.
Why not? The U.S. supported both sides in the Iran/Iraq war. And turmoil in Iraq is good for oil prices. More pie for Vlad.
Yep....
Almost as funny as the NeoCons claims about Iraq and Al Qaeda back in 2003....
I'm sure it's a small oversight that you forgot to mention the neo-libs assertion of the same in the late 90s. I find it hard to comprehend that a person such as yourself actually believes the two teams aren't both on the same page.
Beg pardon....
NeoLibs? Iraq?
Did you just make that up?
Surely you remember old Billy boy bombing Iraq and signing the Iraq Liberation act calling for regime change. And I know you must remember John Kerry on the senate floor scaring us with Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." Ex-President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Letter to President Clinton, signed by Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [the USA], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Feb 18, 1998
Not even close to a full blown invasion that bled the treasury....
BTW, where did Al Qaeda switcheroo fit in to this?
How about something a little more recent?
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
"While the distance between the United States and Iraq is great, Saddam Hussein's ability to use his chemical and biological weapons against us is not constrained by geography - it can be accomplished in a number of different ways - which is what makes this threat so real and persuasive." Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), October 10, 2002
And the bleeding of the treasury continues.
Masochist retard troll. He just can't get enough.
The gift that keeps on giving.
Let's give him some more rope...
He's a confused Obama hippie. His superpatriot impression is hilarious.
You cannot argue with a narcissistic little prick like Flak,Doc.
If I didn't know Obozo was out golfing most of the time,I would suspect he was him.
Doctor, you are cruel beating up so mercilessly on an mentally unarmed intellectual midget such as is Flakmeister (who is ashamed of his real name "Das Scheisskopf")
Ashamed of his real name .... hmmmmm
My fuck you are dopey or just a troll Flak.
No need to choose...
And to think that I used to think the Billy Boy was a greate president. [palm face]
I was young and impressionable then. High on upward mobility and Hopium.
Man your racking up the red numbers...Could be a record me thinks....Congrats approx 236
Personal best was 143 on a single post....
:-)
That mohel raked him pretty bad
From Jim Rickards a few days ago:
Russia is simply using any advantage it can have to humiliate the U.S. It's all a game of diplomacy. Frankly, why can't they leave us "American" out of it, and go to the real people (idiots frankly.. all of them) and point them out.
Chess is all about forcing-moves, exploiting weaknesses, pushing pawns, etc., and the former commie, Putin, is giving lessons to the present commie, Obama...but Obama probably doesn't care since his main mission is the destruction of this country. Everything else pretty much is window dressing for the gullible.
Putin is KGB. KGB cares less about what the new pravda is. They just make sure the peasants parrot it faithfully.
About the only friend the Saudi's have these days are the Israelis.
Russia won't tolerate the Saudi's AQ tools.
Israel isn't friends with anybody that doesn't have something worth stealing. Perhaps the Saudis sense they are next to get wasted?
There was even talk in Iraq's government of canceling all US deals and doing only deals with Russia and China. That would be even more hilarious.
When? Who talked? How did you obtain the information?
If you want to share valuable information, prove its value.
If "everyone knows it", why mention?
If there is nothing to support the claim, it did not happen.
It was a Iraqi news source citing government ministers. We shall see.
Although Google isn't your friend, you can still find shit with it.
Give it a go, you lazy fuck.
Only found this. It's old - late '09 - but it does set the precedent:
'New Iraq Government can Cancel the Oil Contracts'http://www.tnp.no/norway/economy/1611-new-iraq-government-can-cancel-the...
If we say it happened, it happened
Iraq should sell it's oil only in rubles and yuan or gold. LOL!
That would be hilarious. Saddam tried to sell it in euro and got invaded.
Picking the low hanging fruit is easy. The higher up the tree, the harder it gets.
Won't happen again. If Obama tries to go all in with the military today, the Dems will be unable to win dogcatcher posts.
LOL!.
the idea of iraq---which is now iran---being backed by russia is beautiful. a reverse genocide of the sunni. then american steps in an nukes iran.
i can just taste world war 3. the checkmate is not on the u.s. , it is on anyone against the glatzis ( globalist socialists , or globalist nazis if you catch my drift---i've coined this phrane and have ye tot hear anyone use it, i expect glatzi to catch on fire.)
Why is nuking Iran beautiful. Are you a sick fuck?
Maliki was there in Peking ,as a member of the eurasian self defense bloc, last month.
I was wondering when Putin would honor the agreement,
China is playing good cop, to Putin's bad cop.
Aug.1914 >>>Aug.2014
China is playing all sides. They even sold IRBMs to the Saudis. Guess who'll be buying Paki nukes?
Man, Putin just gave Obama another good kick. GOAL! He doesn't give a sucker an even break.
Putin owns Obama once again...
Last time Putin humiliated Obama (with Syria), Obama started a revolt in Ukraine... what will Obummer's next ``revenge`` move be?? I wonder...
Firing the White House gardener...
Tenderizer the dog with loving kicks.
Gotta cook the dog. The press won't let him kill the yearly thanksgivings day turkey.
Alien-IQ
Nope...he is an FED union employee, an illegal alien named Juan...unfirable, bennies for life.
A really shitty hashtag threat, I'm sure.
Has Camacho broke out his red magic marker yet? He must draw a red line or how else will Putin know where to take a huge shit?
Camacho! HA!!!
Daily Double
Maybe a fart in his general direction or maybe wave his private parts at Putin's aunties?
It's all about destroying a feral United States of Amerika. Cloward Piven. Open borders and reatrds who drool in front of TV and Hollywood. Hell I bet 90% of the Americans on here still watch TV like dumb serfs.
I contacted an upscale European country with some business and investment plans. They put me in touch with some other people. The end result was they are seiing lots of Americans with some money trying to flee Obam-Amerika.
They were laughing because the country and other countries are not interested. The word was unless you have a minimum of $20 million liquid then they are not interested.
Amerika is becoming the Saigon. What a shithole. Glad I left.
Not all of us but sadly I fear I'm a minority. Perhaps there will be something left when it all implodes and we who are left can rebuilt though I admit historically this has never been the case. I hope you are happier where you are now but I must admit a bit of frustration to see people leave and leave us the dregs to cope with.
Miffed;-)
The only American couch-potatos here are easy to recognize. Look for the red down arrows next to their posts.
The funny part is the great american land-whale is now trying to get out, finding their own government has locked them down so they can't open foreign bank accounts anymore. Too fucking late, nothing left but the slaughter.
Shithole is right. Multi-"cultural", homo-loving, Israel-ruled shithole, with a diet of corn syrup and doritos.
GMO corn doritos,
"Vlad, dear, I know I promised to betray the USA to you, but do you have to make me look so foolish?"
"Only a little longer, my mocha bitch. Then you will have the Dacha I promised you."
"Right next to yours?"
"No."
take that kerry
IMHO, Putin's kicking a dead horse.
I'm guessing this means the VIX is about to get hammered.
Obama is IRAQ ... In Reality A Queer ...
In Reality A Quisling seems more approprate.
As far as I can tell, the POTUS and the FLOTUS are each other's beards.
Exactly, I think Valerie Jarret is Michelles husband
Putin just keeps bitch slapping the man child at the white house lol, no not Michelle.
Nobody could have seen this coming. At least nobody in the State Dep.
And it is WE who get played.
We pawns.
his base in Syria needs breathing room!!!!!! hahaahahhahahahahahahaha
Actually, Putin as been critical of the current and long standing US support for Al-Qaeda and Jihad in general when it can be turned against a nation the US does not like. Syria and Libya as prime examples of total US support for radical Musilm extremists and their Jihad goals. In Syria our money and weapons have fueled a large army of Al-Qaeda and Sunni Jihadists, these are part and parcel of ISIS. Putin has warned the USA a number of times that Muslim Extremist Jihad is a threat to Europe and the USA. But the War On Terror is too good of a deal for the USA, so they back the Al-Qaeda types or let them grow unhindered to provide the justification for military spending and police state measures at home. Look at US goals and past actions with regard to Al-Qaeda and Sunni Jihad, we support them as often as we oppose them. Iraq ISIS would never exist in this form but for US support of radical Islam in Syria and Used NATO to arm and train the Jihadists in Turkish terrorist base camps and in big secret terror bases in Jordan.
How funny is it te hear Obama piss his pants over ISIS in Iraq when his administration has known about and helped fund the whole ISIS operation. As for the UK, Officially 400 British passport holdes are active fighters in ISIS in Iraq, another 700-900 are active in Syria. ISIS has around 2,000 -3,000 EU passport holders, recruitment is actively going on in all of Europe for ISIS and Al-Qaeda. The EU does little of nothing to stop it, instead spending it's time creating a new nazi army in West Ukraine and Kiev to ravage to East of Ukraine.
Putin also remembers the US fomenting Islamic radicalism and essentially starting al Qaeda back when the Soviet Union was in Afghanistan. It's no surprise he finds the US less than trustworthy when it comes to our anti-terrorist rhetoric.
One man's terrorist is another man's "freedom fighter" for Uncle Sam.
Hey, that was not the USA. All those romantic 1970s and 1980s videos and best selling books featured Bresinski (polish) and kissenger (german). Not americans! /sarc
wonder how we know how many passports and of which kind they are unless:
- Like we set up the Mujaheddin, we took their passports and left them in Pakistan or Afghanistan
- We issued them these passports and kitted them out with radios, phones, weapons, vehicles, ammo, grenades, wire, explosive, and boots
But anyway was just thinking it is not just the USA that can fund both sides of the war: Saudi, Israel, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Russia, China
Although I don't know that I see that much money floating around, did seem like someone bought them trucks and had them shipped to a certain port. Saudi Arabia?
Recruiting Muslims for jihad using a senior advisor to Barack Obama from DHS:
"Elibiary’s comments are appearing in hashtags for ISIS now as well as in online publications the group is putting out to recruit.
The rhetoric is very simple: “Our enemy, the great satan knows we will win eventually that’s why they fight us.”
Mohamed Elibiary is a Dept Of Homeland Security advisor to President Barack Obama and is irresponsible comments have been chronicled all over this blog in recent months. This is the first time I am aware of his ridiculousness being used to recruit for terrorism though."
http://weaselzippers.us/190386-dhs-idiot/
"Elibiary has come under heavy criticism in the past for claiming that America is “an Islamic country with an Islamically compliant constitution.” Critics have said that such rhetoric makes him unfit to serve as an adviser for DHS, which is tasked with defending the U.S. border from terrorism."
http://weaselzippers.us/190078-senior-muslim-dhs-adviser-inevitable-the-...
Jack, I think this is the new version of deterrence or mutually assured distruction reminiscent of the Cold War. The US policy is built around stabilizing opposing forces by arming them equally. We acknowledge that one or the other will get the upper hand from time to time, but then we just arm the other side. What's a little civil war if the oil keeps flowing.
This would be pretty funny if it weren't so sad. We're a fucking joke.
Bo just ripped a 65yd worm burner from the ladies tee at Congrssional C.C
4 putted too I heard.
And washed off everyone's balls back at the club house.
...and sunk it deep at the 19th Hole!
He is the 19th hole.
Damn, this is getting good!
Don't bring checker pieces to a chess fight
Long popcorn futures. Gonna be a good show. But Putin wins in the end.
The royal kerry's, duke and duchess of catsup do not like the royal assads. They prefer the royal air jordan's
The kerry's fund an insurgency in Syria using other peoples money (taxpayers) with some help from the royal friends in the south. (Saudi Arabia)
They did not put any of their own money in this project, a 14% tax rate is already too much, so as is customary in dealing with merc armies, they told the merc's to loot the neighboring countryside (Iraq) with blessings.
Enter the landlord. (Putin) From stage right. The Spanish and English Royals are back stage watching Soccor and having a good time.
Seems like we did this show recently in the Ukraine.
So what this means is that the alliances are lining up with the US and Saudi Arabia (and other Sunni countries) on one side and Russia siding with the Shiites in Syria, Iraq and Iran. This continues to morph and evolve but the Shiites are the minority Muslim sect even though they are the majority in these three countries. Things are becoming a little clearer now. No wonder the US is backing the Syrian rebels (Sunnis) even though they are the most violent and radical. It isn't about who is right or better suited to govern, but more about countering the Russian moves in the region. (Even though the US put a Shiite in power in Iraq.)
@ Psquared,
I agree with the facts of what you say but you end "more about countering the Russian moves in the region". This can't be true.
The U.S. is the one projecting power in the region. It has kept the initiative, despite results unworthy of the lives and resources put into the effort.
Russia/Putin, on the other hand, have done nothing but astutely take advantage of opportunities as they were offered by events.
When history arrives at the moment of assessing responsibility for this mess, it will be knocking on the door of the U.S.
"Iranian General Hassan Firouzabadi, chief of staff of the country’s armed forces, slammed the United States and blamed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for sponsoring terrorist groups in Iraq and the region."
"Clinton’s State Department, the general claimed, “created terrorist groups” and is now “displeased with the results of the recent elections in Iraq and is cancel election results.”"
http://weaselzippers.us/190301-iran-accuses-hillary-clinton-of-creating-...
Iran/Russia is no slouch in the Intelligence field. What have they sniffed that they could release? Or did the Chinese give them the data?
Snowdon is just a warmup for the crowd. Much will be released before any bombs fly.
True, but the Russians are making some moves in the area particularly around Syria and President Assad. Some of their moves are less obvious. Of course, the opposite could also be true. Putin is trying to counter US moves in the region and reaching out to al-Maliki is one of them.
Numbers are not that important. A good trained and intelligent soldier is worth more than several dom soldiers. Look at nazi germani, the took on match larger army's and won, the just took on a little bit to mutch.
And on average shiits are more intelligent than sunni, sunni are just dom lazy arabs.
Pretty sure the Nazis lost.
At least, the German ones.
Not before bombing Pearl Harbor though.
I do hope you're being ironic.
It's an Animal House movie in-joke.
The Nazis didn't lose anything. The German people lost, but not the Nazis. They have succeeded beyond their wildest hopes.
On second thought, your right.
But hey, at least we got the space program and Tang!
That's something, right?
Brilliant, when you think about it.
good for you, al-Maliki... and thanks for helping Vlad
yours:-))
Look at this stammering idiot. Has there ever been more wrong in 103 seconds?

Proof there is room for retarded queers in our society.
Take away his telepromter and it become's clear what he is. A dom fuck that learned some tricks.
Iran doesn't have a big enough Air Force to provide ground support to its own troops across the border in Iraq and simultaneously protect domestic targets from foreign aggression (unless you consider the ancient US-supplied aircraft effective in either role). Russia doesn't suffer this constraint, but Russia does need to keep it's deployable boots on the ground close to Ukraine.
Until the Russians are occupying former US airbases by invitation it's just political posturing. On the flip side, if it happens, it will also fulfill one of the non-financial pre-requisites to de-throwning the USD, the US no longer being the only military force option when local governments and central banks need guns instead of ink.
Yet it will still be a Hobson's Choice, as ultimately both paths lead to the NWO, the only difference being the manner of the beat-down of the masses (violence from Western "kineticism," or capitulation to the gulag of the East).
Hegel would be proud.
Choose wisely.
All paths lead to the man of Perdition, to Antichrist.
The AntiChrist wants to get in 18 holes today with Reggie.
I don't know, I think the Anti-Christ is whiter . . .
...and then Reggie gets the 19th Hole!
Putin seems to back all legit governments while Obama backs cannibal fundamentalist terrorists. I suspect Putin would have a better chance at getting NATO assistance than Obama.
Yeah, Bath House does seem to support those who "eat" each other.
Indeed. The lovers of man meat.

This is turning into a really good Friday. Now if PM's hit 1400 & 25 /oz, it'll be even better. Here's to hoping.
They are planning a second Israel. Right above the oil fields.

Putting aside the tragedy of what the DC US' sociopaths have engineered, Putin's chess moves against them makes me chuckle every time.
Like watching a really bad game of chess with an experienced genius pitted against a rank amateur.
DC US sociopaths want to LOSE the chess game with the purpose of destroying America and Americans. The purpose is to LOSE the chess game.
+100!
Obama is just bitchy because he is losing to the wrong people.
Lose big, 22 nuclear power plants on the New Madrid fault line. It goes every 200 years and is over due.
So many people have no idea what's coming, and still cheer nuclear power as 'clean green energy'.
Promoting their own extinction.
Putin's as well as Russia's long term plan is to bring Iraq into the Eurasia trade pact.It's also a way to peace in the region when you bring in Iran and Syria.China will come in with lots of money while they slowly disinvest in U.S. Treasury debt.What has the U.S. done for these countries.Nothing,except destruction.China will eventually move in with infrastructure projects for returns in oil and gas partnerships.Better thinkers than the boneheads in Washington and their cold war era mentalities.The U.S. Government doesn't operate like they did after WW2,they operate like two-bit thieves.That's because they are run by morons like Victoria Nuland and her stupid gang of crooks.
The new Silk (Rail) Road...
The Ivy League flags are flying high within the Executive Service ranks of the State Department. And our President, - errr, -Velarie thinks she is in charge.
Given Iraq's closer relations with Iran nowadays, it makes sense for Iraq & Maliki to cosy up to Russia too. They're alll friends together. Add in China and you've got a controlling influence over M/E energy outside of Saudi & Qatar.
