Pipeline conspiracies are for suckers. Congrats!
If I’m reading the map correctly it goes through Syria either way.
Pipelines that aren't controlled by Russia?
And that's bad because?
Well, look at that! Iran and Iraq both benefit from the Russian-backed pipeline. And the US-Saudi backed one depends on the US and Saudi Arabia controlling Syria. I’m not liking being on the wrong side of history.
I don’t know why the Russians would back either pipeline. I would think their interests would best be served by no pipleline or prolonged turmoil to keep pipelines from being built.
Why don’t they bypass Syria and go right through Jordan and Israel from Qatar and screw Iran, Iraq and the Turks. I’m sure POTUS DJT can make the deal happen.
Those aren’t oil pipelines, those are for natural gas according to the symbols.
Great map! Thank you for posting it!
Yes, the conflict in Syria is ultimately about pipelines to Europe. All pipelines go through Damascus :) - now who is going to be converted like St. Paul was? Trump seems to be converted, and just wants out of that quagmire.
Note that temporary bridges transited the Bosporus last weekend. And what rivers do the Syrian army need to cross? Obviously the Euphrates, near Deir ez-Zur, where not coincicentally US forces are based. I’d guess the consequences of the (illegal) US attack on Syria is an attack by the Syrian army in this area, with Pantsir-S1 air defenses (they’re tracked vehicles, which need a temporary bridge to cross the Euphrates).
