It's great to hear Americans discuss a topic in a cool manner without extreme views either way of Russia and the US.
The on-going low oil price has particularly affected Saudi Arabia.
I was watching an Australian expert on oil prices and he too admitted like some people here, that it is inexplicable.
I am an Australian and yes, Putin, left early but he intended to.
He was schedule to fly out at approximately 3 pm but left at 1:15 pm. The only thing that was notable was that he missed the final communique which was as boring as watching paint dry as it involved the ^20 countries on corporate tax evasion. I too would have left.
Prior to G20 Putin made recent deals with China (apparently around the $US400 billion mark) that will devastate our Australian economy. Gazprom will supply gas to China within 2 years as they switch to a greener approach,. The real reason is that China trust Russia with an economic and in these perilous times, strategic resource.
Saudi Arabia's pro-Western stance on "daesh" is for secular purposes. A persistent rumour appears that the south of The Kingdom openly supports daesh, as they do not have worry about revenue and weapons.
Prsident Xi was in both Syria, Iran and Russia for an inexpolicablky long perid. Putin was in China for APEX for a lengthy spell also.
The Russian's are master chess players and think many moves ahead. The Russians and Chinese want their strategic priorities, energy and oil in their collective trusted hands.
The Chinese are benefitting from the the oil price.
