Correct, I believe the article is supporting that theory. The Western world is about to leave this mess behind. Russia will control vast swaths of the Middle East.

In such a scenario, as the new power broker in the region, the question becomes are we potentially facing oil embargoes etc.

Putin is no friend of Muslims either, so is this all really about the oil?

We don’t need any foreign oil.

We are closing down oil fields because we are not allowed to sell our oil to our foreign allies.

The Russians are Infidels like us, and will have their own set of problems dealing with both the Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
But that might take years to develop.
In the meantime we are going to be forced out of that part of the world, like it or not.

So far as the oil goes, Canada and the US have a good supply of their own; but Russian influenced high prices and planned shortages from the mid East could be tougher on the Europeans, and oher countries, like Japan. -Tom
