Ukraine, Saudi Arabia sign major defense deal amid Iran war - Sopuli

Is this the beginning of a new coalition of nations that can counter balance the desire to go to war that the most powerful nations of the world such as the US and russia cannot suppress? A desire for war supported by equally powerful nations such as China and India that cannot resist but inflame the war for their own interests even as they “stand on the sidelines” remaining “neutral”? Or this rather this the beginning of Ukraine becoming rationalized into a broader World War? The hopeful part of me says this is not what the Arab world wants in the region, no matter how they feel about Iran, Israel, the US or russia, this is a blatant smash and grab on the future of the Arab world and there is the chance this coalition building with Ukraine might lead to an ability to slow this escalation into a World War down. Ukraine can deliver that capacity by reducing the immediate mass terror threat of shaheds significantly and sustainably. A lot of this comes down to what Saudi Arabia chooses to do in this moment, whether it chooses an easy intimacy with the US and indirectly Israel in terms of regional power or Saudi Arabia chooses to refuse this crude invitation into regressing the entire region backwards into instability and war.
