'Putin is scared to death right now' Bill Browder and Rubio disses MBS over Saudi/Ukraine Defense Deal?

[blue-wave]

Russia may have hoped a war with Iran would help their invasion but as events accelerate beyond Putin's control the Kremlin sees a political landscape fraught with risk, says Sir Bill Browder on Frontline.

If you watch starting at about 9:15, Bill Browder mentions that Rubio chastised the Saudi Crown Prince for the defense deal the Saudi's signed with Ukraine. Allegedly, Rubio told MBS that the Saudis should have asked for U.S. approval before signing the agreement.

I did a search and all I could find were a few X posts mentioning this. Do any of you know more about this? Is it true?

Here's a link to an X post on this issue:

1. Is Saudi Arabia beholden to the USA?....................

I'll say this tho, that was a good move for both countries.

3. I concur and

it appears to me that the U.S. was left in the cold.

2. Rubio might just want to keep in mind that if TSF's "birthright citizenship" order were to be

validated by SCOTUS (of course, I don't believe it will, but still), Rubio's parents were NOT citizens nor legally here based on reporting from other typically valid MSM sources).

So, toss that passport goodbye, little Marco and bon voyage!

9. It all might come back at them to bite them in the ass

Just like what happened to Bondi. No matter how much loyalty, no matter how much fealty you show the king, he will throw you under the bus any time he deems necessary.

4. Is what part true?

6. The part about Rubio chastising

MBS. All I could find were some X posts. A few main stream outlets reporting this would be a nice confirmation.

7. Yes.

10. A foreign affairs analyst (associate of RUSI, a respectable British defence thinktank) says they can't find

where it comes from, apart from that Ukrainian.

""The part that Zelenskyy signed a defence cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia is, of course, correct. Still, I cannot find any evidence of Rubio (or anyone on behalf of Trump) expressing "regret" that Saudi Arabia signed this without consulting the US."

It does seem strange that a Ukrainian in Canada would know what Rubio said to the Saudis if it weren't public anyway.

11. Well, here ya go

More and more is coming out now. Glad to help clear it all up!

5. Full complete post of the Rubio - MBS conversation

From the Xwitter post shown above ...

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on behalf of Donald Trump, expressed regret that the Saudi authorities signed defense agreements with Ukraine without consulting the United States, which had been Saudi Arabia’s main ally.
In response, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman noted that the U.S. had failed to fully protect the Kingdom from Iranian strikes, and therefore Saudi Arabia made a decision that could quickly strengthen its defense capabilities. The Crown Prince also stated that his country will continue to be guided by its own national interests when making decisions regarding its defense.
This was a slap in the face to Trump from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in response to Trump’s crude and scandalous public statement that “…now let the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia kiss my ass and be polite to me from now on.”
Thus, Trump’s reckless and irresponsible remarks have effectively put U.S.–Saudi relations on pause.
The Saudi Crown Prince proved to be more diplomatic than the American president and, notably, did not respond to Rubio by saying that Trump should “kiss my ass” and behave politely toward him in the future.

I don't know who this Mykhalo Rohoza is, but he seems to be a Russian who speaks fluent English, or vice-versa.

Also the Bill Browder comments above are RECOMMENDED! K&R

8. If you look at his brief X bio

it shows you that he is Ukrainian.

🇺🇦 AFU veteran • Artillery scout
Disabled(20+ fractures)
Father of 3 sons 🇨🇦
Ukrainian in Canada

I don't believe he's Russian unless he's lying about everything.

So he's a Ukrainian veteran and he with his family are refugees living in Canada at the moment. He's also disabled, though it is not clear if the injuries he suffered are a result of the war.
