I continue to believe that the bottom line cause for the confrontations is that Saudis with some other gulf nations along with France and other European nations along with USA banking interests want a gas pipeline across Syria to compete with the current Russian supply. There is very much money involved with this gas&gold situation. Russia from historical experience is no lap dog for the European bankers. Wars, big wars, have been started over seemingly less incidents/situations.

You are EXACTLY right.

This is all about Western European IMF banking and Western European petro energy supply and sources. It's about undercutting Russian sales and bolstering Saudi group sales while running all the money through Western European banking, and using the US military as a bully to force Russia to allow it.

I like your discourse as to my comments on the Syrian situation. You were probably more succinct as to the big picture. I also think Russia has just completed a ‘make one give all-make all give all’ scenario. As for me there will be no honesty or integrity as to any party to the dealing if such is not the case. I was in WWII and my brother was killed on Okinawa so I believe I know a good war cause as to a bad one. Kerry’s 3 months or so at war with self inflicted/promoted Purple Heart wounds in Viet Nam doesn’t pass the smell test for historical reference..
