“Bandar Bush’s visit to Moscow simply could not have happened without a green light from Washington. So what’s the (muddled) master plan? The Obama administration seems to believe in a remixed Sykes-Picot – almost a century after the original. The problem is they are clueless on how to configure the new zones of influence. Meanwhile, they’re letting the Saudis do the heavy lifting. The first step was to eliminate Qatar from the picture. It’s astonishing how fast the emirate, up to two months ago a prospective mini-superpower, now has been reduced to less than an afterthought.”
