President Vladimir Putin signaled Moscow’s growing Middle East clout on Monday on his first visit to Saudi Arabia in over a decade, buoyed by Russian military gains in Syria, strong ties with Riyadh’s regional rivals and energy cooperation.
Moscow accrued power in the Middle East in 2015 by sending troops to Syria, where it and Iran have been key backers of President Bashar al-Assad amid civil war, while the United States pulled back. Saudi Arabia sided with Syrian rebels.
On the eve of Putin’s trip, U.S. troops abruptly retreated from northern Syria as Russian-backed government forces deployed deep inside Kurdish-held territory under a deal to help fend off a Turkish cross-border offensive.
Russia has also strengthened ties with both Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia and Shi’ite Iran, which are locked in a decades-old contest for influence that veered towards open conflict after a recent spate of attacks on oil assets in the Gulf that Riyadh and Washington blame on Tehran. Iran denies the charges. . . .
Asked about concerns Riyadh was cozying up to Moscow, senior foreign ministry official Adel al-Jubeir said he saw no contradiction.
“We don’t believe that having close ties with Russia has any negative impact on our relationship with the United States,” he told reporters on Sunday. “We believe that we can have strategic and strong ties with the United States while we develop our ties with Russia.”

Absolutely! I will pray in the spirit too.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.Romans 8:26. Amen!!
The more Americans pray
Fervently for our country, the more we will see changes in the world.
Nothing is impossible with God.
He is calling us to intercession.

Lord Thy will be done here on Earth as it is in heaven. Lord these battles are Spiritual ones. 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 Lord take my eyes of people and speculation and help me praise You and Trust in You to accomplish what You promised in Your Word. Lord bind all strongholds in this area, take back the land given to the enemy and I claim it as Holy Ground. Lord go out before Your people and strike the enemies coming against them. Lord I pray Thy will for this land to be taken back through the faithful prayers of Your church. In Jesus name. Amen
Father,
Even as Jesus taught His disciples while on earth, I pray Your will be done on earth, & throughout the earth & every nation, as it is in heaven.
I’m not surprised by Russia’s influence in the middle east. The middle east is home to some of the evilest gods and religions. Ah, BUT God is still in charge!
My mind is not equipped with the knowledge to pray effectual and fervently so I opt for prayer in tongues. I am often amazed at this process. Leaving my natural thought processing aside and giving passage to the Holy Spirit on matters of foreign and domestic politics helps me to be more effectual.
I agree. When uncertain of the situation pray in tongues as the Spirit interceded for you
You are wise women. I will pray in tongues also!
