Pitons gonna make sure Russia controls its Mediterranean bases and the pipeline routes the Saudi dictators want to Europe Then probably Putin will just take the oil too - from Syria to Iraq (already coordinating militarily with Russia) into the gulf. If Putin wants he can take it all inside a couple weeks. Or more likely he will just use local proxies and the kind of “influence” that obama’s given away. The oil has to get to market to have any value. The oil transport routes are very limited and coming under Russian- Chinese purview
Putin is going to control the oil and begin to regulate the output to prop up the global oil price. While Obammy wants to bankrupt fossil fuel companies so his green energy wacko buddies can thrive, Putin is not interested in bankrupting the oil industry and his country.
