RPI Director Daniel McAdams has written an article for RT on the latest Saudi/US split — what’s behind it? What’s going on with the Saudis?
Writes McAdams:

He offered that if only Russia would back away from its support of Assad in Syria, Saudi Arabia would go on a Russian military gear spending spree, Russia would be granted a larger role in Middle Eastern affairs, and even Saudi-controlled jihadists in the Caucuses would be put on a leash for the duration of the Winter Olympic games in Sochi.
