'Saudi Arabia has offered to buy Russian arms worth 2.4 billion dollars (1.5 billion euros) if Moscow stops supporting Iran, a Russian newspaper reported Tuesday, citing diplomatic sources.
"The kingdom's government advised Moscow to cease its cooperation with Tehran, and in exchange it held out the prospect of profitable contracts with Saudi Arabia," the daily business newspaper Kommersant wrote.
The report came one day after Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin met with the General Secretary of Saudi Arabia's Security Council, Prince Bandar bin Sultan.'
(Bandar bin Sultan is a mega crook closely connected to the Bush family.)
