Zero Hedge: US Threatens Sanctions On Gulf Allies If They Normalize Relations With Assad
For the past couple months there's been persisting reports and rumors that Saudi Arabia is preparing to restore diplomatic ties and normalized relations with the Syrian government under Bashar al-Assad, coming off a decade of war in which the Saudis spearheaded efforts alongside the US and other allies to topple him.
As we detailed in early May the first major step toward detente came when Saudi Arabia's powerful intelligence chief, Gen Khalid Humaidan, traveled to Damascus to meet with his Syrian counterpart. The two sides broke off relations since near the start of the war in 2011, especially as it became clear the Saudis were a key part of the Western allied push for regime change, through covert support to anti-Assad insurgents and jihadists which included regular weapons shipments.

This administration policy is going as a duck without head. But now I am not too surprised because it is the new normal. The worst is still ahead.
Khobar Towers bombing was planned in Syria.
Biden is a pig, who mentally fades by the day, and his handlers are traitors and worse.
"The plot was hatched two years earlier at the Sayyihdah Zaynab Mosque in Damascus, Syria, by three parties: Iranian intelligence, Lebanese Hezbollah, and a collection of Saudi Shia terrorist groups under various names including Hezbollah in the Hejaz."
-Bruce Riedel Worked for the Clinton Administration
Assad also gave aid and comfort the jihadis going into Iraq after 2003.
The Biden maladministration is evil.
