The Obama administration's role in the overthrow of Syria and rise of ISIS (self.conspiracy) submitted 6 months ago * by soberreflection By now, most people on this board are aware of the role of the Obama government in toppling Assad and fostering the rise of ISIS. To say that "Obama created ISIS" is perhaps too simplistic, but the actual truth is no less damning. I've made this post, partly to organize my own notes on this subject, but also to seek other references and hopefully reach people who are unaware of the facts and balk at allegations that the US has been involved in any way in the rise of ISIS. First, the plans to topple Assad's government in Syria were not laid by Obama's administration. They are part of a long-term project to maintain control of the region and the petrodollar regime—basically the "neoconservative agenda" spelled out in the "Project for a New American Century". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/pdf/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf (Syria, page 63-64) https://youtu.be/r8YtF76s-yM And how would the overthrow of Assad be orchestrated? Obama has wished, or sought to create the impression that he wished, to avoid direct military engagement in Syria. Whether for political concerns, to avoid appearing to be a warmonger, or because of a misguided belief that his chosen method of indirect engagement would be somehow more ethical or less brutal, is hard to determine exactly. But here is some mainstream coverage of the reasoning shaping the Obama administration's policy on removing Assad: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-syria-crisis-obama-war-idUSBRE97U0AP20130831 What's important, though, is that Obama is following through with the PNAC agenda. And the chosen method of engagement, instead of direct military invasion, was subversion through the orchestration of the State Department, the CIA, and regional allies, especially Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_involvement_in_the_Syrian_Civil_War To implement the regime change operation, the first stage was to orchestrate "dissidents" through CIA and State Department sponsored NGOs. To fuel the necessary anti-Assad propaganda campaign, it is first necessary to create the impression that there is a "grassroots" uprising ready to burst out. It should be acknowledged that Assad is not so benevolent a leader that he could not inspire legitimate dissidents, but the fact that mass protest movements were orchestrated was established by leaked cables: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-syria-wikileaks-idUSTRE73H0E720110418 The next stage was to enact a false flag attack that would tarnish Assad's reputation and provide the pretext of legitimacy for the insurrection that would bring about his removal. Of course, adhering to its policy of avoiding direct involvement, US intelligence orchestrated the gas attack against the protesting dissidents that it helped to put in place by relying on its foreign allies: http://www.lrb.co.uk/v35/n24/seymour-m-hersh/whose-sarin http://www.lrb.co.uk/v36/n08/seymour-m-hersh/the-red-line-and-the-rat-line http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/10/23/hersh-vindicated-turkish-whistleblowers-corroborate-story-on-false-flag-sarin-attack-in-syria/ And now the "rebels" enter the scene. But only moderate rebels, of course, a phrase chosen no doubt because it causes the reader to imagine there are some tea-sipping British Labor voting type armed insurgents ready to bring about a democratic "Arab Spring" in Syria. Nevermind that some of the principal fighting groups being sponsored are affiliates of Al Qaeda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_armed_groups_in_the_Syrian_Civil_War And then there is ISIS. Who created ISIS? In a sense, it's a pointless discussion. Movements like ISIS, like any ideological movement, have antecedents in other movements. According to the conventional view, which we'll stick to here, its "founder", Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was a member of Al Qaeda that led the faction of it that would become ISIS. A better question is who pays to arm ISIS, who provides it with intelligence, and who protects it? While ISIS can generate its own revenue to some extent, it would not have been able to operate without funding, principally from Saudi Arabia and Qatar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finances_of_ISIL Of course, some of John Podesta's leaked emails confirmed what we already knew there, showing that Hillary Clinton (and implicitly, everyone else privy to the same intelligence knowledge she had) knows that the governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar are funding ISIS: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3774 https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/5469 https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/1828 But, some may say, that does not mean that the Obama administration knew about or sanctioned this funding of ISIS. And to that, I would say there is evidence they knew, as Michael Flynn former DIA Director explains in the following interview. But I would also add that assuming that US intelligence was not aware that its allies were funding ISIS is naive, and there's every reason to believe that it's exactly what they wanted because it would help to achieve their goal of toppling Assad. All we're missing is hard evidence of direct involvement of US intelligence with ISIS, but there are clues of that too: https://youtu.be/y1oEoCRkLRI http://www.latimes.com/world/middleeast/la-fg-cia-pentagon-isis-20160327-story.html Thus are the origins of the Syrian "Civil War", which brought death and destruction to scores of innocent Syrians and launched the great migration. This humanitarian disaster has not only destroyed this country's people and infrastructure, its consequences have placed Europe's security in jeopardy, have propelled the undoing of the EU, and are likely to lead to violence there before all is finally settled. And for what? I thought it ironic that some people had been criticizing Trump's pick of Rex Tillerson of Exxon-Mobil, as a demonstration that Trump is getting ready to run the government for big oil—ironic because it has been that way all along. Indeed, the Exxon-Mobil deal with Russia was nixed by Obama, who instead chose to sponsor the Saudi-Qatar pipeline that would need to run through Syria. Leaked cables again show that it was precisely when Assad refused to allow the pipeline to plow through Syria that the plans to topple him were set in motion: http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/09/15/assads-death-warrant/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar-Turkey_pipeline Was reducing Europe's reliance on Russian oil and catering to Middle Eastern allies by toppling the Syrian government and plunging it into war the more ethical approach? Now that the project has failed, I wonder how it can possibly be justified at all.

the_strat 4 points 4 months ago Lotta stuff there. Good research. Here is my take on the same story for comparing notes. Cheers. This is the conspiracy that brought me to this sub. This isnt a left/right issue. It is a US foreign policy issue. This is a post that /u/037_engineering https://www.reddit.com/u/037_engineering made when they cleaned up one of my old posts. Theirs is better written and less partisan. But its a topic that has been public knowledge for some time but only twice have I seen it spelled out. Once by Assange and once by Greenwald on The Intercept. The reason we can trust this politician in this case is because it is verifiable and documented. If not actually spelled out until just now by Rep. Gabbard. This has been posted a few times but people still deny it ever happened, let alone continues to happen http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/290916-us-approves-115b-military-sale-to-saudi-arabia (The Hill) and in fact, was prevented from being blocked http://www.salon.com/2016/09/21/senate-rejects-bill-blocking-u-s-saudi-arms-deal-rights-groups-applaud-growing-dissent-against-yemen-war-crimes/ (Salon) as recently as September. https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/7243 This entire effort should be done with a low profile, avoiding the massive traditional military operations that are at best temporary solutions. While this military/para-military operation is moving forward, we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region. Its necessary to point out that the significance of this email is not what it literally states, obviously the US would rather limit ISIS' influence in the region. The context is that the US knew that Saudi Arabia was arming ISIS when the US State Department approved $115 Billion Dollars worth of arms deals to Saudi Arabia http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-saudi-security-idUSKCN11D2JQ

https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/terrorism Definitions of Terrorism in U.S. Code 18 U.S.C. § 2331 defines "international terrorism" and "domestic terrorism" for purposes of Chapter 113B of the U.S. Code, entitled "Terrorism.” "International terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics: Involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law; Appear to be intended ... (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and Occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S., or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum.* This is important because it defines who a particular set of enemies of the state are.

Cornell University sites the US Constitution defining Treason https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articleiii Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. ARTICLE III, SECTION 3, CLAUSE 1 You can decide that this isnt actually treasonous. But you should know that this comes as close as any Presidential Candidate has ever got to crossing that line. Chances are that if you disagree about Clinton or Kerry or Obama's culpability in this matter, you would have said Reagan and Oliver North were Traitors if you were asked 5 years ago. If you are a liberal ask yourself how you feel about Iran/Contra. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Contra_affair If you are being honest with yourself you know that these two scenario's are closer related than is comfortable.

CNN reported that ISIS was armed with American Weapons http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/08/politics/amnesty-international-isis-weapons-u-s-/index.html in December, 2015; and if you read the actual Amnesty.org report it says (Pg. 20, 21): It is also likely that some of the small arms in IS’ possession – such as an M4 carbine-style Bushmaster X15E2S manufactured in the USA and documented in IS’ arsenal entered Iraq with private security companies during the US occupation and found their way into Iraqi arms markets. A few months prior The Guardian reported https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/03/us-isis-syria-iraq: a recently declassified secret US intelligence report, http://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Pg.-291-Pgs.-287-293-JW-v-DOD-and-State-14-812-DOD-Release-2015-04-10-final-version11.pdf written in August 2012, which uncannily predicts – and effectively welcomes – the prospect of a “Salafist principality” in eastern Syria and an al-Qaida-controlled Islamic state in Syria and Iraq. In stark contrast to western claims at the time, the Defense Intelligence Agency document identifies al-Qaida in Iraq (which became Isis) and fellow Salafists as the “major forces driving the insurgency in Syria” – and states that “western countries, the Gulf states and Turkey” were supporting the opposition’s efforts to take control of eastern Syria. Maybe you would like The Intercept https://theintercept.com/2016/10/12/hillary-clinton-acknowledges-saudi-terror-financing-in-hacked-email-hinting-at-tougher-approach/ to clarify a few things: Clinton openly criticized the Saudi, Qatari, and Kuwaiti governments for failing “to stop their citizens from funding extremist organizations.” Her newly released 2014 email goes a step further, directly attributing support for ISIS to the Saudi government.

This brings us to The Refugee Crisis http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34131911 (BBC) in Europe. This is projected to cost Germany alone well north of a Trillion dollars https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/691638/Germany-migrant-crisis-immigration-economy-trillion-pounds (Express) over the next 2 decades. A cost which could conceivably be passed on to the US https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/congress/senate-poised-to-override-obama-veto-of-911-legislation/2016/09/28/809fd2a4-854b-11e6-b57d-dd49277af02f_story.html (WaPo) because of America's insistence of supporting terrorist states https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/sep/13/us-saudi-arabia-arms-deal (The Guardian). ISIS has claimed responsibility for attacks http://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/isis-attacks-a-timeline-of-terror/1/ (CBS) on Belgium when they bombed the airport at Brussels http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/23/world/europe/brussels-airport-explosions.html (NYT), France at Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan theater http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/15/world/europe/isis-claims-responsibility-for-paris-attacks-calling-them-miracles.html (NYT), Australia, Russia, Lebanon and others that could potentially lay financial culpability on the US. This has had significant effect on international relationships too that threaten the longest peace in western Europe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_Europaea since Augustus Caeser. According to Vox "Anti-immigrant backlash is driving support for Brexit http://www.vox.com/2016/6/23/12005814/brexit-eu-referendum-immigrants which was only exacerbated by continental Europe's refugee crisis. Rape (is) A 'Significant And Disturbing' Feature Of Syrian War http://www.npr.org/2013/01/22/170007521/rape-a-significant-and-disturbing-feature-of-syrian-war according to NPR. Would the Leave Campaign been as successful if Scandinavian http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/20/world/europe/norway-offers-migrants-a-lesson-in-how-to-treat-women.html (NYT) and German http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-germany-idUSKCN0S02N220151006 (Reuters) women were not being raped https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/11/swedish-police-accused-cover-up-sex-attacks-refugees-festival (The Guardian)and assaulted in the hundreds?

We have to invent another Europe." http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36623685 (BBC) The US created the Refugee Crisis in Europe by knowingly arming ISIS and is why Turkey may leave NATO; http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2016/07/turexit-turkey-leave-nato-160721105010182.html This is why Russia http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/04/world/europe/uk-nato-summit/index.html may invade the rest of Ukraine. TL;DR: State Department skirts along the definitions of Treason by knowingly selling weapons to people that are arming enemies of the US. This has created a destabilized Middle East that in turn caused a mass emigration to Europe that has also contributed to Brexit and may lead to the dissolution of the EU and NATO according to the Prime Minister of France and several key members of NATO, including Turkey - the 4th largest military in the world. Since the Podesta Leak in October, Rep. (and Veteran) Tulsi Gabbard has introduced a bill to make this kind of thing explicitly illegal. https://gabbard.house.gov/news/press-releases/video-rep-tulsi-gabbard-introduces-legislation-stop-arming-terrorists And to add to that, here is the spin NPR put on the bill: Rep. Tulsi Gabbard Introduces Bill To Halt U.S. Arms Supplies To Syrian Allies http://www.npr.org/2016/12/10/505079126/hawaii-congresswoman-tulsi-gabbard-introduces-bill-to-halt-u-s-arms-supplies-to as if the legislation isnt in direct response to the State Department actions regarding ISIS.

Russia/China will not rush to defend Syria, this is not WW3 (self.conspiracy) submitted 2 months ago * by andywarhaul This may be a shock but China, Russia, or the US couldn't give a damn about Assad, the people of Syria and whether or not they were gassed by Assad. Forget if the attack is a false flag or not because it doesn't effect the point and that's that they all only give a shit about gas and oil. Let's lay it out to highlight why toppling Assad is important to Israel, USA, and Saudi Arabia. And why keeping Assad standing is important to Russia and Turkey. It will also highlight why China and Iran don't give a fuck about what happens either way. Scene is the Middle East The big players are Iran, Syria, Turkey, Russia, Israel, USA, Saudi Arabia and China The prize is the South Pars gas/oil field https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Pars_/_North_Dome_Gas-Condensate_field The Iranians have an insane amount of untapped gas and oil. A combination of sanctions by the US, the inaccessibility of the reserves, and scores of other more easily accessed reserves have delayed Iran developing on it. They have just started producing in the last week or so http://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Irans-South-Pars-Oil-Field-To-Produce-By-End-Of-March.html The closest market for all that oil is Europe but you need a pipeline to get it there. There's a few options of where it could go through. Iran doesn't give a fuck about where the gas and oil goes at all because no matter what they are getting paid. China also doesn't give a fuck because they along with a French company have a 50% stake in the deal with Iran to develop the field. On top of that they are reported to be involved in investing over 42 billion dollars in developing the portion of the pipeline in Iran. Let's look at the possible routes for that pipeline once it leaves Iran We'll call this one the American Express http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/335809bc5a4500918ff797c8a540c039 And this one the Russian Run https://m.imgur.com/a/nECpe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Pipeline So starting with the American Express, we've established that between Iran and China the development and pipeline infrastructure inside Iran is covered. Both Iran and China will make money no matter what. With the American Express the next stage would be building a pipeline through Iraq: Getting into the finer mechanics, the US the Saudis and the Israelis all lack control over Iran and Turkey, in other words they wouldn't be getting a cut of the profits if it goes through Turkey. Plus they have their own natural gas and oil asserts that would see a decrease in value when the South Pars starts producing full blast. So they want to make sure they are getting a cut. Next they are going to want to make a route which they have total control over. The shortest route between Iran and the Mediterranean is through Iraq and Syria. So ideally you would want to take control of both of those countries to build your pipeline. Iraq ✅ the US took care of that some time ago Syria ❌ With Iraq under control that pesky Assad is all that stands in the way of the pipeline. Thank god for American aptitude at scheming to topple regimes. America is so talented at doing this that they cooked up a top shelf idea. What if you could take out 2 maybe even more birds at once with one stone? We're talking about consolidating oil/gas/energy power here and in that realm Gaddafis Libya was a major hindrance and threat to future oil/gas value and power for the Saudis and Israelis in the region. The plan they hatched would solve the Gaddafi problem as well as work towards toppling Assad and they might just get lucky and bring down a couple more dictators with them. They would need a plan like this as the Russians were supporting Assad due to their interests which we will get into with the Russian Run. Phase one of the plan was orchestrating and precipitating the "Arab Spring". The goal was to destabilize the region and spark rebellions by the people, destabilizing the region surrounding a target (Assad) is a classic regime toppling technique. https://wikileaks.org/google-is-not-what-it-seems/ Phase 2 is to fund and arm a group of rebels to form an army. Once the uprising in Libya was sparked the US used their intelligence of the Libyan demographics and social structure to did their army. When Gaddafi came to power it was under the promise that strict sharia law would be the lay of the land and there would a be Sharia court that ruled supreme. He fell through on that promise and while sharia law was practiced in Libya it was not enforced in the traditional sense, he also created a civil sharia court system but it was essentially a bullshit court that didn't have the power the extremist population wanted. Gaddafi quickly grasped the country in an Iron fist with his loyal military (he was an army man) and crushed any dissenters. In other words there were many angry extremist Libyans who were upset with Gaddafi but were suppressed by his military strength. The US knew that there were some 200,000 of these extremists willing to fight Gaddafi. They sent these 200,000 "rebels" money and weapons, then with their friends the US bombed the shit out of Gaddafis Air Force, choking his militaries main weapon. With no airforce and a heavily armed, well funded, and angry army of 200,000 tearing through the country it wasn't long until Gaddafi fell. A few goals were achieved. They stopped Gaddafi from creating a North African currency, they eliminated a threat to their control over the region, and they took control over an oil competitor. Libya was producing 1.6 million barrels of oil a day before the civil war. Just this passed year they have managed to get back to 500,000 barrels a day. Libya is no longer a competitor.

The main goal was that they had an army on the ground now in the 200,000 rebels. These "rebels" were cheated, they thought they would take over Libya and make it a sharia paradise, but the Americans did what they do and installed a puppet government. Screwed in that respect and screwed in the respect that their country was now destroyed, 100,000 of the rebels (with some guidance I'm sure, we know various intelligence assets are involved with these groups in the region http://21stcenturywire.com/2016/12/16/reports-at-least-10-nato-military-officers-captured-by-syrian-special-forces-this-morning-in-east-aleppo-bunker/) decided that they would leave Libya with their guns and money and make their way on to Syria where the uprising was still going on and Assad stood as another "not extremist enough" leader who they could take down. On their way over they meet up with various groups that used to make up the Iraqi army. Including many former officers. http://time.com/3900753/isis-iraq-syria-army-united-states-military/ Together they morphed like a fucked up power ranger to make ISIS. They would wreak havoc over the region for the better half of a decade but thanks to the Russian backing Syria held strong the entire time. The plan was hitting a snag, Assad needed to fall and it looked like it would take real military intervention, but that won't happen as long as Russia backs them. Sarin gas false flag attacks are a good way to weaken Russia's support for Assad and sway public opinion to go to war. They tried that in 2013 and it didn't quite work. Obama was close and so ready to drop the bombs but he was stopped by Congress https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/31/syrian-air-strikes-obama-congress https://www.lrb.co.uk/v35/n24/seymour-m-hersh/whose-sarin So the American Saudi Israeli faction failed to clear the way for their pipeline and we will pause there for right now. Isis is being ejected from Syria and it appears as though they are winning the civil war. Now on the other side we have the Russian Run: Phase 1 would be to ensure there is no path for the oppositions pipeline by supporting Assad and not letting Syria fall. Done. The three (Iran Russia Turkey) even have a plan to split up Syria into control zones for themselves http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN14H12V Phase 2 would be to build the pipeline infrastructure for the new route. This pipeline already exists and could be adapted https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabriz%E2%80%93Ankara_pipeline but this pipeline was the new option https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Pipeline So infrastructure is nearly completed or already completed, that combined with production at the South Pars field finally starting to flow made the Russian Run a much more serious and impending reality. Just look how cozy all of the players involved in the Russian Run are getting lately Russia selling $10 billion in arms to Iran http://thediplomat.com/2016/11/iran-and-russia-negotiating-10-billion-arms-deal/ Negotiating and agree on stuff aww money really brings everyone together http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2017/01/iran-reaction-russia-turkey-ceasefire-deal-syria.html Turkey seems to accept Assad, see guys we're all friends now https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/01/20/world/middleeast/russia-turkey-syria-deal.html They were clamping it down in Syria http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/13784886 There's even a prophecy that these allies will join to fight Israel but that's more for fun. http://www.alphanewsdaily.com/Warning%206%20Russia%20Iran%20Invasion.html But there's some small snags in the Russian Run as well. Russia wants the west to have no influence over anyone involved in this deal to keep their hands off of it completely. This would include getting Turkey out of NATO (Turkey is also a key location for NATO in the region). I believe they got the ball rolling on that one by arranging for the Russian Ambassador to Turkey to be assassinated. http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/19/europe/turkey-russian-ambassador-shot/ Many people were quick (including Russia and Turkey https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2438405/key-ally-of-vladimir-putin-claims-shadowy-nato-forces-masterminded-the-assassination-of-russian-ambassador-andrey-karlov/ http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/britain-blamed-after-russias-ambassador-9488222 ) to blame western intelligence for the assassination but I think that's a little too perfect. Just look at the situation, the only security guard on the Amb detail ends up being the shooter. Think about who controls his security schedule and who would have handled security at the venue. Sounds like an inside job if I've ever seen one. And if it was the wests doing it would be with the purpose of souring Russia turkey relations but they would have been able to see through that easily. In my opinion it serves the will of Russia and Turkey far more, it's a precursor for Turkey to leave NATO claiming a lack of trust in other members. Don't believe me? Not two weeks after the assassination the Turks are asserting their right to close an air bases used by NATO to conduct air strikes on Syria http://www.veteranstoday.com/2017/01/05/turkey-leaving-nato-asserts-right-to-close-key-base-for-coalition/ they are absolutely gearing up to leave NATO. With all these things falling in place for the Russian Run they are oh so close to making the pipeline and the billions of dollars attached to it a reality! But as of this week it looks the the American Express is taking one last swing at conquering Syria. A second Sarin gas attack has allegedly taken place and the evidence suggests that it was most likely carried out by terrorist groups in Syria http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-06/ron-paul-zero-chance-assad-behind-chemical-weapons-attack-syria-likely-false-flag All chemical weapons were taken from Assad in 2013 http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSBRE98E01W20130915 ISIS manufacturing Chemical Weapons in Syria http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/isis-manufacturing-and-using-chemical-weapons-in-iraq-and-syria-us-official-claims-10496094.html http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34211838 And they use them http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cia-director-john-brennan-60-minutes-scott-pelley/ If this attack is used to precipitate a US-Syria war then it appears that the American Express is still wanting to push through. But with the Russian Run so close to completion does it really matter? Iran is going to want to start making money ASAP so if the Russian Run line is completed first (which it will) then I'm sure they will go with it. Unless....some pesky US sanctions appear and force them to slow down development again http://www.ogj.com/articles/print/volume-96/issue-21/in-this-issue/general-interest/us-waives-sanctions-on-south-pars-field.html To sum up my point it's too late for Syria they have played their role in scheme for Russia and Russia/Turkey are so close to the prize that it's no longer as pressing of an issue to ensure Assad stays in power. Because of that Russia won't be rushing to start world war 3 with the US. And China certainly won't because they are getting paid regardless. I think this is a feeble attempt by the controlling powers of the west to bundle in one last shot at getting Syria while at the same time creating a situation that will muddy the waters for the Trump administration. So don't fret. World war 3 won't start over this, unless the US does some bat shit insane move like invading Iran...who wanted that again? http://www.globalresearch.ca/hillary-clinton-if-im-president-we-will-attack-iran/5460484 Thoughts?
