The Partnership With Russia and Iran Is the Direct Conversion of Mixed Signals to the Saudis

The partnership with Russia, I think, is a very bad sign for growing risk of what's happening in Ukraine. The partnership with Saudi Arabia and Iran is the direct consequence of very mixed signals to the Saudis. If you now see that partnership being questioned by Joe Biden, not sure that the Americans are going to be there for you, you turn to China. And then you open up the possibility of Iran because you say "I can no longer count on American strength"
