SA is trying to destroy the Russian economy leading to the downfall of Putin in the next election. Putin has been increasing his sphere of influence in that part of the world. Just look at what has happened in the last few years in the middle east, politically and militarily.

He has for years provided material and knowledge to Iran for their nuclear program as well as weapons. SA and Iran do not get along with the exception of past OPEC activities and before long they will be facing a nuclear Iran.

Putin was on the wrong side of the Syrian mess and still is. He has been providing weapons to that campaign. He also had his fingers on Libya as well as working on Iraq.

The Ukrainian debacle was all over the pipelines that supply Europe natural gas and I feel was the final straw with Obama with Putin.

Putin made a huge long term deal with China with natural gas.

Putin has been stealing SA petroleum customers for the last two years.

SA has been warned by the ISIS that the crown’s days are limited as they will be coming after SA.

This is the only way SA can try to take three enemies off their radar, starve the ISIS, Iranian and Putin to the point of financial ruin and the question is, can and will Putin use the Russian military and risk a world war. We know that SA absolutely cannot survive a war with Russia, ISIS and Iran. They have a decent regional war machine but have not fought a real war, ever.

My one and only question is how involved has Obama gotten our country involved with this mess.

We tried decades ago to limit Japans influence in their neck of the woods and look where that ended.
