Ever heard of the Syrian Pipeline?

It's not about Syria, it's about controlling the land route for a pipeline controlled by Ukrainian energy companies, in order to undercut the Russian pipeline feeding Europe.

It's about trillions and trillions of dollars by cornering the future oil and gas entering into Europe, while destabilizing one of Russia's biggest bargaining chips in EU politics.

It's what ALL of this has been about since Trump got into office and threw a monkey wrench into the whole operation.

Adding for those who don't understand the full implication of this:

This is also why they are working overtime to destroy both American and Canadian energy independence. We have the potential to outcompete the middle east for oil, and that would both drive prices and profits of the Syrian pipeline down, and would also potentially bypass it if anyone in Europe started buying from the US or Canada.
