Oil Wars? US/Saudi Arabia vs Russia/Iran
Before we discuss the ‘global oil war’, we need to get some basics down- Bear with me on this, ok? I’ve been thinking about this for most of the day...Oil Wars The US dollar is on the rise. What affect does the increasing US dollar have on oil prices? How does the increasing US dollar value make it easier for the US, aided by Saudi Arabia, to wage a global oil price war?
US Holocaust Museum displays Qatar PR Campaign Presenting Aspersion as Fact
This is not the post I had wanted to do today. Sadly the lying war mongering media forced my hand! A Qatar PR firm created psyop, bolstered by a show at the US Holocaust museum, is still equivalent to putting lipstick on a pig!
Syrian Air Defences and the Implications of Expanding Airstrikes into Syria
Info packed post!I’ve talked Syrian air defences, more then once.
US carries out 90 percent of attacks on ISIS- Turkey not complying and much more
Me, thinking aloud. And looking for input on the post subject?Some thoughts: The so called entire coalition is obviously less then willing to get involved in this fight, presently. And this reluctance is larger then just Turkey's recalcitrant behaviour? What is going on in the wider scheme?I am not getting the impression that France and the UK have been overly active in these bombing runs. Never mind the GCC nations. Also all this bombing the US has been doing? What the hell are they actually accomplishing?

Reuters could not immediately verify the footage on YouTube, to which pro-Islamic State Twitter feeds provided links.
Remember " War against Iraq, Syria & Iran? " ISIS wants Saudi Arabia?
I am packing a heck of a lot of info into this post! It has to be done. Sit down for a spell and read.The US strikes ISIS oil targets? Lots of news outlets presenting the US air strikes as strikes on ISIS assets.. Let’s be straight on this. These aren’t ISIS oil assets. These are Syria’s oil assets.And there is no doubt in my mind that ISIS ‘took over’ these oil assets so the US could take these same oil assets out! Recall this?War against Iran, Iraq and Syria?
