Against Russia? Saudi Invasion in Syria ‘Would Be Beneficial for US'
Saudi Arabia recently announced its readiness to deploy its elite soldiers in Syria.
Washington is happy about such move as it would give US a good opportunity to curb Russian influence in the region, German newspaper Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten (DWN) reported.According to the newspaper, the US government wants to prevent Russia from playing a dominant role in the Middle East.
How many soldiers Riyadh is ready to deploy, remains unclear. A
certainty is, however, that the invasion of Saudi Arabia would aggravate
the situation in the region, the article said.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem earlier stated that any
invasion by the Saudis would be considered an act of aggression. Saudi
soldiers would return home in coffins, the minister said at a conference
in Damascus.
"In fact, the Saudis who support several
terrorist groups in Syria together with the US are especially interested
to overthrow President Assad. The Americans, in turn, want to prevent
Russians from playing the main part in the reorganization in Syria," the
newspaper wrote.
