Understanding Brutal Threads of Mideast Games and Conspiracies

Oil WAS the Prize - Saudi

Players in 2021 Oil War

• Saudi, Russia want to raise oil price yet in times of weakness plunge it to bankrupt cheaper fracking
• In 2021 Progressive/Biden making energy - no Keystone Pipeline, EPA regulations, Whitmer trying to close down Enbridges’s Line 5 from Canada into Michigan
• Europe gets Nordstream 2 from Russia
• EU wants new, cheap supplies from Iran - so appease via JCPOA
• Iran sanctions lifting would bring back 2.5 to 3 million barrels making oil prices drop
• China has a backroom deal for $500b over 10+ years of oil at 20% discount. But Iran would prefer not being trapped
• Israel wants the EastMed pipeline - get billions and a vital lock

Iran Crushing by Anglo World for Revenge on Oil

Shia-Sunni Tribal rivalries are they real?

British past masters Divide and Conquer for the Oil Prize

Conspiracy: Criple Iran

Gradually isolate, threaten, subvert, and eventually attack Iran with a broad regional coalition of forces.

Conspiracy: Eliminate all centers of Shia power in the Middle-East

Conspiracy: Prevent the creation of a Shia axis Iran-Iraq-Syria-Lebanon.

Conspiracy: Break up Syria along ethnic and religious lines.

Conspiracy: Make Israel as Oil/Gas/Pipelines Mover-Shaker

Make it possible for Israel to become the uncontested power broker in the Middle-East and force the KSA, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and all others to have to go to Israel for any gas or oil pipeline project.

Israel

Alliance Reality is a PURE user of US/UK

Zionist Support - Jewish Lobbies in US/UK control the money

Evangelical Fervor for Holy Land in South - Enables Conservative bigots

Post-Trump US policy continues but not blind Israel hypnotism

Eventually, in Biden era, Israel and the US look like total idiots and, even worse, as losers with no credibility left.

Israel Strategy: Fragment Arab states

Since Palestinian "problem" is the key issue for Israel, gradually wean Arabian states away. Get them more worried about terrorism instead of building an unified along with its political structure, armed forces, and security services.

Israel Strategy: Terrorism ELSEWHERE is good!

Israel Strategy: Move Arab states away from Palestine

Israel on Gaza - 10x the damage

Israel on Lebanon - Fragment

Trigger a civil war in Lebanon by unleashing the Takfiri crazies against Hezbollah.

Let the Takfiris and Hezbollah bleed each other to death, then create a “security zone,” but this time in Lebanon.

Israel Strategy: Keep Palestinians Fragmented, Refugees on Reservations

Is there external Manipulation to keep them Fragmented?

Turkey

Timeline Turkish Neo-Ottoman ambitions and military dictatorship

Erdogan power center

Kurds - Survivors - No Kurdistan

Kurds standup for themselves as noone else will - like Chosen People

Sad Story of Kurds split by British colonialism and Turkish imperialism

US uses Kurds to destroy ISIS

US an unreliable partner - fails in leveraging Kurds

Create a Kurdistan which could then be used against Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran.

Kurdistan not happening for decades if ever

Kurdistan is not happening! Too established sections in Iran and Turkey - with strong militaristic regimes controlling.

Similarly, the Iraqi Kurds separate for too long, have real oil wealth - why would they give up to distant "cousins".

Syria

Timeline Origins - Assads grab Control

Syria State Survived/Thrived Post-ISIS

Syria demographically will remain unitary

Millions of displaced Syrians refugees are returning home as . Turkey

Syrian Kurds are separate and overall Kurdistan is not happening.

The Syrian state has survived, and its armed and security forces are now far more capable than they were before the war started (remember how they almost lost the war initially? The Syrians bounced back while learning some very hard lessons. By all reports, they improved tremendously, while at critical moments Iran and Hezbollah were literally “plugging holes” in the Syrian frontlines and “extinguishing fires” on local flashpoints. Now the Syrians are doing a very good job of liberating large chunks of their country, including every single city in Syria).

Not only is Syria stronger, but the Iranians and Hezbollah are all over the country now, which is driving the Israelis into a state of panic and rage.

Lebanon is rock solid; even the latest Saudi attempt to kidnap Hariri is backfiring. (2021 update: in spite of the explosion in Beirut, Hezbollah is still in charge)

Russia involved in Syria heavy, OPEC, Balance Turkey

Russia economically stable unlike 1990s

• The Russians don’t care now and are less reliant on rest of world
• Strong foreign exchange reserves
• Anti-USD hurting gathers power as China rises and united China-Russia challenge
• Russia has a free-floating ruble
• Self-sufficient in food
• Leader in raw material production.

Syrian-Russian Game - Deep in Russian Camp post-ISIS 2020+

Possible Israeli/UK/US strategy - Create total chaos and horror in Syria justifying the creation of a “security zone” by Israel not only in the Golan but further north.
