Obama is going to make sure we're in the big middle of this. In fact, Obama and his co-conspirators are responsible for this.
While there are many with different interests struggling for these interests, the ultimate interest, besides pipelines, is domination of the world by Islam. It's to that end that I believe Obama, Erdogan, SA, Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, and others see as the final end - justified by any means.
Lifting sanctions on Iran has forced the Sunni’s into total war. And of course getting no concessions from Russia allowed the Russians to jump in ahead of the Sunni forces. You can say Obama/Kerry/Clinton/McCain were the dumbest leaders in our history or perhaps the most evil. Same difference either way.
