Putin orders strike against S Arabia if West attacks Syria
Saudi offers Russia a secret oil deal if it abandons support for Syrian govt, London paper claims.
MOSCOW (Web Desk) - A grim “urgent action memorandum” issued from the office of President Putin to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is ordering a “massive military strike” against Saudi Arabia in the event that the West attacks Syria.
According to Kremlin sources familiar with this extraordinary “war order,” Putin became “enraged” after his early August meeting with Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan who warned that if Russia did not accept the defeat of Syria, Saudi Arabia would unleash Chechen terrorists under their control to cause mass death and chaos during the Winter Olympics scheduled to be held 7-23 February 2014 in Sochi, Russia
Lebanese newspaper As-Safir confirmed this amazing threat against Russia saying that Prince Bandar pledged to safeguard Russia’s naval base in Syria if the Assad regime is toppled, but he also hinted at Chechen terrorist attacks on Russia’s Winter Olympics in Sochi if there is no accord by stating: “I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us.”
Prince Bandar went on to say that Chechens operating in Syria were a pressure tool that could be switched on an off.“These groups do not scare us. We use them in the face of the Syrian regime but they will have no role in Syria’s political future.”
London’s The Telegraph News Service further reported today that Saudi Arabia has secretly offered Russia a sweeping deal to control the global oil market and safeguard Russia’s gas contracts, if the Kremlin backs away from the Assad regime in Syria, an offer Putin replied to by saying “Our stance on Assad will never change.
We believe that the Syrian regime is the best speaker on behalf of the Syrian people, and not those liver eaters”, Putin said referring to footage showing a Jihadist rebel eating the heart and liver of a Syrian soldier and which Prince Bandar in turn warned that there can be “no escape from the military option” if Russia declines the olive branch.
Saudi Arabia has offered Russia a secret oil deal if Moscow abandons its support for the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad, reports say.
Saudi intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan reportedly made the offer during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier this month.
The transcripts of the closed-door meeting between Putin and the Saudi Prince were first leaked to the Russian press. A detailed version has been issued by the Lebanese newspaper As-Safir.
Bandar offered a number of inducements to Putin, including safeguarding Russia’s gas contracts and its alliance with OPEC. Bandar also reportedly pledged to safeguard Russia’s naval base in Syria if President Assad is toppled.
Reports also said that the Saudi Prince offered to buy up to USD 15 billion of Russian weapons.
In return, Riyadh wants Moscow to lessen its support for the Syrian government and no longer block any United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions on Syria.
The Russian President, however, was unmoved by the Saudi offer.
The revelations come amid high tension in the Middle East, with the US and its allies threatening Syria with a military action over allegations that the Syrian government used chemical weapons in the Damascus suburbs on August 21.
Hundreds of people were killed and scores of others injured in the attack. Both the Syrian government and the foreign-backed opposition accuse each other of being behind the deadly attack.
The Damascus government, however, has vehemently denied the accusations, saying the chemical attack was carried out by the militants themselves as a false-flag operation.
Meanwhile, military leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Canada are meeting in Jordan to discuss Syria unrest.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, however, has warned that any intervention in Syria without a UN Security Council mandate would be a "grave violation of international law."
