Why is the United States' close ally going towards Russia?

Saudi Arabia, the closest allies to the United States after Israel in the Middle East, The alliance's relations have been going on in decades after decades. Washington-Riyadh came to the end of the Obama administration, but after the tram power came to power, it declined. Donald Trump first visited Saudi Arabia in Saudi Arabia.

Turkey is the United States NATO-ally In terms of traditional military power, Turkey is the only place in the United States after NATO. Turkey is a very important country in the West for the safety and trade of Europe. In overall consideration, Washington-Ankara is a close ally of each other.

On the other hand, the United States thinks Russia is her antagonist; And with this ever-ending war, the close friends of the close friends! Turkey and Saudi Arabia together with Russia, one-on-one military-arms agreement.

Interestingly, the relationship between Ankara and Riyadh with Russia was not pleasant in the near future. No Saudi king has visited Russia in the last 25 years. None of the heads of Russian government have come to Saudi Arabia The competition between the two countries on oil trade is very old. Turkey was subdued by Russian firefighters a couple of years ago. The result of which is the final deterioration of the two countries. The talk starts both sides. Economic blockade has been going on for a long time.

Currently the biggest crisis in the Middle East is Syria War. In this case, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are in opposite positions. Russia deserves to survive Syrian President Bashar al-Assad; Bashar has been able to take a tough position in the face of the fall. On the other hand, Saudi-Turkish wants Bashar to move. Although recently Ankara has softened its position in this case.

Turkey and Saudi Arabia have signed several military agreements with the Kremlin in spite of the dispute over each other. Despite the US advanced missile defense system (Thad), the Russian-made S-400 defense system has bought two countries. On Thursday, Saudi Arabia announced the purchase of the Armed Forces Previously, in September, Turkey said they made a contract to buy the S-400 defense system.

The United States is concerned about Saudi and Turkey such steps. Pentagon spokeswoman Michel Baldenza said in a briefing on October 6 that Washington is concerned about how some ally countries in the United States are heading towards Russian arms.

But why are allies losing 'trust' to the United States? The reasons are multiplicity.

The current ruling party in Turkey is concerned with political Islam. The Middle East also has their own political agenda, which is contrary to US interests. For the past decade and a half, the country's government has preferred oriental oriented ethnicity based on political Islam rather than foreign policy. It has been a long distance with Washington.

But Turkey-United States relations are going to be very cool, the failed military coup on July 15, 2016 Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government believes that there was a link between the coup and the US. Because, most of the rebel army officers were deployed to the US airbase base in Turkey. Then, when the US authorities are not convinced of the reinstatement of exiled spiritual leader Fathahullah Gulen in the United States charged with being the backbone of the coup, then the crisis of confidence in Washington has a final form of crisis.

On the other hand, during the failed coup, Russians stand on the side of Erdogan, encourages the reputation of the Kremlin. Besides, the Pentagon's continued supply of weapons to the Kurds in Turkey is provoked by Turkey. The Erdogan government, with the independence of Kurds, is engaged in warfare inside the country. US support for bordering Syrian Kurds is becoming a threat to Turkish sovereignty. So, in order to counter Russia's US policy, Russia has to choose Russia.

The main reason for Saudi Arabia's interest in Russia is the rise of Iran in regional politics and the recent 'soft' policy of US with Tehran. It seems that international relations expert Gigory Kosak Grievory told the New York Times last week that Washington is just as close to Tehran as Riyadh wants to get closer to the Kremlin. Saudi Arabia wants to balance the regional politics through Despite the strong opposition to Riyadh, the United States has made a nuclear deal with Iran. In Saudi Arabia, fearing that many restrictions and restrictions will start to save energy, Saudi Arabia.

And Russia wants to end the war situation in Syria to keep Bashar uninterrupted. That is why it is necessary to get along with other forces, including Saudi. As a result, the two sides are at risk for their own interests.

Trade has also played an important role in bringing the two countries closer. Saudi and Russia are the world's top two oil producing countries. In the last few years, due to the oil price fall, the two countries have been affected. In order to limit oil production to stabilize the oil market, Saudi and Russia initiated an agreement in 2014. The successful deal made the two countries closer.
