Is not hard to dig into this BS these days.
Youtube is our friend and so is the internet.

I be danged if Putin himself didnt spill the beans on this. Then, all I did was see if he was out and out lying or not.
I found out that most of the problems in the Ukraine area related to the pipelines running across there. Then, if the Saudis get a pipeline across Syria, Putin loses the monopoly into Europe. If Putin gains a foothold in that area, he will control about 60% of the worlds oil. He CAN NOT afford to lose that monopoly. The Russian economy is already at its breaking point.
On the other hand, Obama is supplying Isis. The Saudis are controlling Obama, as they did with Bush. That is why we went into Iraq most likely. The Turks are into this up to their eyes and making a hell of a lot of money off it. So they supply Isis also and make out like they dont. That is why Iran and the Saudis are going at it. Iran thinks it can take that area and the oil with the help of Russia.
The key is the Kurds. Nobody likes them and they could hold the key to the whole thing. Break that Cartel, stop Putins advances into that area and the whole thing calms down to a point.

Talking to some young Turks who were studying at Binghamton University about three years ago, I got the impression that they believed their government to be beyond control of the people. Their hope was to stay in the United States with a high tech job. Under no circumstances did they want to go back home.

Things seem to have degenerated since then.
