Vlad Posner’s background is well known but he’s pretty much retired nowadays and offers his observations about what Russian leadership is thinking even though he is no longer part of the official propaganda machine of the Soviet era.
Why this need to go to war with Russia and blame Russia in the West?
Why this war in Syria that created the Islamic State?
The oil pipeline for the Saudis and Gulf Arabs to replace Russian energy supplies to Europe?
ETL appears to be our resident anti-russia troll. He posts reams of stuff he copy and pastes from what’s probably a Soros database.
Not Oil...Natural Gas.
Russia is the largest supplier of Nat Gas to Europe. One of the strategic advantages Russia has over Nato is that it can cut off the heat during the winter. And Germany freezes.
The the gas line cuts across Syria will feed the underbelly of Europe.
Russia’s economy would take the blow, but more importantly, the strategic advantage would be lost.
The odd thing is that it takes about two minutes to explain to someone not even closely educated on current world events to understand why this madness is going on.
