    Syria a Vicitim of wars fought in the name of Oil

    Syria a victim of wars fought in the name of oil – Austrian Foreign Minister

    https://www.rt.com/news/439949-austria-syria-oil-war/





    Oil is the real reason behind all conflicts in the Middle East while Syria is just the latest victim of this struggle, Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl told the UN General Assembly in a speech she started in Arabic.

    The very existence of the modern Middle Eastern states have been “shaped by oil business,” Kneissl told the UNGA. A Middle East expert herself went on to explain that the borders of the states that were established following the breakdown of the Ottoman Empire were “based on pipelines.”All the wars the region witnessed over the recent decades are just a continuation of this fight for the control over the fossil fuels that still “dominate the energy mix” in the world, the foreign minister said, adding that Syria, which has been engulfed in a bloody seven-years conflict, is “a victim of instability created by all these wars.”This was the first time an Austrian top official made such statements at the level of the UN General Assembly.

    There are so many factions involved in Syria that it would be interesting to know the total "friendly fire" losses.

    Don't worry, the people of Syria get to come here, under refugee status, so they can show their gratitude by raping our citizens.

    Oil is the real reason behind all conflicts in the Middle East...

    Like the 1948 Arab Israeli War? Or the one in 1967 or 1973? Is the civil war in Syria..or Yemen about oil?

    Actually, I don't find but one story several months back about any Syrians raping US citizens. And there's this: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.2683369

    Just AnotherPerson. I would like to know how many machines you operate? Daily. An automobile. Public transportation. Airplanes? Buses?

    Cause I'm waiting for the accusation that if anyone is using oil products, they're directly responsible for events in Syria.

    True the hell that! Good point! Then not to mention the good guys of today are tomorrows bad guys. They all end up in the dirt in the end. But hey we get to make arms deals.

    This thread is not "news" to anyone with a brain. I just put it on because it is finally being said.

    And we might end up in control of a oil pipeline into Europe that will allow us to control a chunk of middle east oil. Then we can set prices based on output and demands that make it so imported US oil and LNG seems more affordable to the EU countries.
    We would also be able to make great deals with OPEC members by threatening to cut them off from their markets entirely.

    JAP, it is old news. Nothing new here except you catching on to it. The lines for the borders were drawn by Churchill. That was before the ME was known to have such huge reserves of oil.

    Here's some advice. Stop using a single source for all you information. If you had looked you would have seen that this article was only partially true. You can do as you please but looking with unbiased eyes would be a big help to you.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.
