The Saudis and Qatar are allies in this? You’re joking?
Thanks for the great debating point. And other is propaganda. What a joke. The Saudis have been at the throats of Qatar and vice-versa. What a load of garbage.
Russia garbage propaganda rides again.
To say KSA is allied with Qatar has to be about the stupidest thing in the world. No wonder, some swallow it up.
Let’s not forget whom posted this and who believed this.
Indeed, tensions were building between Russia, the U.S. and the European Union amid concerns that the European gas market would be held hostage to Russian gas giant Gazprom. The proposed Iran-Iraq-Syria gas pipeline would be essential to diversifying Europe’s energy supplies away from Russia.
Turkey is Gazprom’s second-largest customer. The entire Turkish energy security structure relies on gas from Russia and Iran. Plus, Turkey was harboring Ottoman-like ambitions of becoming a strategic crossroads for the export of Russian, Caspian-Central Asian, Iraqi and Iranian oil and even gas to Europe, assesses journalist Pepe Escobar writing for Al Jazeera.
The Guardian reported in August 2013:
“Assad refused to sign a proposed agreement with Qatar and Turkey that would run a pipeline from the latter’s North field, contiguous with Iran’s South Pars field, through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and on to Turkey, with a view to supply European markets – albeit crucially bypassing Russia. Assad’s rationale was ‘to protect the interests of [his] Russian ally, which is Europe’s top supplier of natural gas.’”
Knowing Syria was a critical piece in its energy strategy, Turkey attempted to persuade Syrian President Bashar Assad to reform this Iranian pipeline and to work with the proposed Qatar-Turkey pipeline, which would ultimately satisfy Turkey and the Gulf Arab nations’ quest for dominance over gas supplies, who are the United State’s allies. But after Assad refused Turkey’s proposal, Turkey and its allies became the major architects of Syria’s “civil war.”

Travis McGee is 100% correct.

The SUNNIS and their oil/gas interests are allied with Israel and the USA. How is that for strange bedfellows. Yet it’s reality in 2018.
We are fighting for the SUNNIS, (Al Nusra/FSA/ISIS remnants), vs. Assad, Iran and Russia.
No. It’s true and supports the pipeline theory. Qatar was at the WH a few days ago. Pipeline begins in Qatar and runs thru Saudi Arabia.
