And the Saudi's REALLY want that pipeline through Syria.
Only enough to start WWIII over, (if THEY don't have to fight).
I was wondering why Obama suddenly was so hell-bent on attacking Syria, until I began to figure out that Gas Politics was at play, behind the scenes.
Putin drawing a “Red Line” in front of Syria stopped Obama (and the Saudi’s) in his tracks, and that has led us to a US-destabilized Ukraine.
Russian Intelligence isn’t stupid, and as ex-KGB, I don’t think Putin ignores intelligence estimates. They had to know all of this was coming, long before it happened.
Putin’s moves in Crimea and Southeast Ukraine show us that.
