The real modus operandi of the oil/gas/fuel-shipping game is about keeping some productions off line so that the ones allowed to keep pumping out can make transient high profits (and justify infrastructure investment in the industry). Oil/gas industry is fundamentally similar to the airline industry: high fixed cost, low variable cost. For example, if Venezuela and Iran (and Russia) were allowed to pump and sell oil / natural gas freely, energy cost around the world would be much lower, and many companies and governments around the world living large off the high energy prices would fall. The problem with this market rigging scheme right now is that Russia can sell to India and China, so the artificially high energy price is hurting Americans and allied countries' citizens instead of top potential competitors.

The Baathist regimes were probably the best candidates the Middle-east region had for relatively benign regimes, and that's why they were chosen. After a few decades of concentrating wealth in their respective artificial states, they were harvested (just like cattle are allowed to graze on the grass to concentrate nutrients, then getting slaughtered for meat), and all the bank account balances owed to the dead/former rulers and pension fund promises owed to their massive bureaucracies are voided.

There is also a structural population growth problem: Israel population grew from 6.3 million in 2000 to 9.7 million today, whereas Palestinians more than doubled in the same time period despite the economic handicap. Even among Israelis, the religious Jews far out re-produce the secular Jews. The Abrahamic religion/religions with its "god-ordained" suppression of women and shifting caste system (religious and tribal differences/conflicts are essentially justifications for caste systems; new religions and tribes have been invented in the Abrahamic system repeatedly) is/are very effective in inducing human farm animals to reproduce; but the reproduction rate under the legend/folklore/scam seems to be inversely related to the intelligence of parents. So the waves of mass slaughtering/harvesting, and nomadic relocation of the top 10% among the tribe itself, keep happening for the past 2500 years (keep in mind, "Palestinians" are descendants of Biblical Jews who never left the land; i.e. the overwhelming majority of the descendants of Biblical Jews are Palestinians, well, until they are exterminated).

I don't disagree. But that's retardation by definition. Somehow 2,500 years of turmoil worked out well for everyone? Sure there's a few Middle Eastern cities that look modern, but they're 3rd world shit generally from my research. Sure as hell ain't going there. All the money goes to the rich oligarchs.

No one would "want" to live there without the oil revenue. It would be Africa on steroids. The climate is awful. I like AZ, but it's shit April to September if you want to be outside. Older folks like it because they're cold. I can't imagine raising a family of 5 in Phoenix. That's the ME. No one lives there without the oil.

Wookie, I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was pointing out the reason behind such turmoil: intense human farming (the farming of human beings as farm animals). Before the discovery of oil, the middle-east lived off trade/commerce between Europe and India/China, besides olive oil farming and sheep/goat grazing in the narrow coastal strips and oases. Sheep/goat grazing made the land even more desolate, but produced tradable products like wool therefore easier for the rulers to tax and control than allowing pig-farming.

As to who would want to move there, well, even now if you don't do well in Brooklyn and you belong to a certain tribe, you can apply and receive a significant sum of money to be a "settler" in that part of the world. A century ago, many Europeans who had 50% or more of the tribe's "blood/lineage" (which was really pseudoscience by that point after hundreds of years of intermarriages and births outside marriage; really family self-identification as basis for a shifting caste system: favored for some time period then turned upside down) were under pressure to move there. It's just like racists / white-supremists were encouraged / induced by economic reasons to move to South Africa by the 1948 apartheid laws, then have the whole caste system turned upside down on them and their children by the 1990's. Colonialism is not just the exploitation of "natives" but also the exploitation of the colonists: eventually having a conflict mass killing the colonists wiping out the account balances is a major part of what makes financing colonialism profitable. Why do you think a member of the 10% minority (Alewite) like Hafez Assad was chosen to rule Syria? Easier to overthrow and harvest the accounts later.

Don't forget Georgia. I don't think the CIA/Mossad credits are entirely clear yet since the caper seems to have a strong Turkish accent with a Russian echo. Coulda been the free for all just converged additive to a point and are now in the process of re-polarizing back to different origins and goals.

Opportunists take what they can from the chips on the table to plot against each other another day.

Coming soon, The Islamic Republic of Syria.

Even the Reconquista (of Spain/Iberia/al-Andalus) was a pre-run of the Holocaust: Jews were living prosperously in Iberia for about 500 years both during the Caliphate of Cordoba (ruling almost the entire peninsula) and among the various princely states after the splintering of Cordoba Caliphate. It's the Reconquista that brought the forced conversion and expulsion of Jews from Iberia. The Jewish refugees from Iberia moved to Poland, waiting another 500 years for the Holocaust. After witnessing first-hand what we have experienced the last few years, it shouldn't be a surprise that too was a massive liquidation of account-holders by inviting invaders / barbarians.

TRUMP ISNT EVEN PRESIDENT YET

Ayatollah Khamenei on Syria:

'What happened in Syria was planned in American and Israeli command rooms. A neighboring country has played a role and continues to do so'

'The resistance will spread even further than before and encircle the entire region'

'Our intelligence services warned Syrian officials several months ago of the enemy's plots, but this information was neglected'

'The Syrian army has not resisted the enemy, just like the Shah's imperial army in the Second World War'

'At the height of the war, when everyone was backing Saddam against us, Syria took decisive action in our favor. Iran then compensated them for this support"

"It was Turkey All Along" - the Ayatollah

Various Woo rantings say that Iran will collapse in 2025, and be returned to a secular state, but not after a serious banking crisis. The country has a lot of internal turmoil, but may be returned to rapprochement along with Russia to USA. We already see regimes collapsing (France, Germany), and election fraud (campaign existent in over 78 countries not just USA) is being rolled back as we are seeing in South Korea and Philippines. The same election fraud software used in Philippines is currently being used in California.

Pundit Juan O Savin more or less confirmed that the interception of the Post Office mediated extraordinary election fraud (10 to 20 million extra pre-printed votes delivered by trucks) was an operation to allow Trump to overwhelm the ordinary election fraud. The specifics about who, where, or what in the Post Office remain unheralded, but it was performed somewhere between where the hot ballots were transported in trucks (at the nighttime witching hours) and the polling target stations. I think we saw some Trump ninja operations that were so stealth and shocking to the Fraudista Globalista that it set them back on their heels.

Both Iran and Syria were already heavily infiltrated through banking and blackmail by Globalista, with Syria being involved in serious biolab, bioweapons, and chemical warfare research in like Ukraine. They were 'allowed' to collapse and to block Islamic State Iran from the Mediterranean ports, pending the 'future' reorientation of Iran.

Wooster Qsters think that Syria will go through internal civil war to eventually remove the Western sponsored terrorist agencies and return to non-infiltrated secular government.

It's all quite the hopium dose, but nobody really knows from the bleachers.

I'm sure that the Islamic Fundamentalist Jihadists, which had the full support of that peace monger Netanyahu & Israel, will be very thoughtful and kind to the Syrian Christians. Netanyahu even said that he had confidence that the Christians would be treated 'with respect' by Syria's new masters. No doubt, if you were a Syrian Christian, you would take a great deal of comfort in Netanyahu's assurances. s/

Syria was a Porxy war between Russia, USA, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Kurds, and Qatar.

Assad and the IRGC backed Hezbollah was so kind to Lebanese Christians and US Marine peacekeepers.

It ended because Hezbollah and Russia could no longer protect Assad, and his cronies made a deal with HTS top current sponsor, Turkey.

People forget that ISIS was trucking oil into Turkey, and Erdogan's sons were the buyers to refine it.

Almost nobody in Israel thinks that HTS is going to make nice to Israel in the future. Maybe a couple of Haaretz employees.

They are happy the hereditary Assad dictatorship is gone, but have no belief that the new boss won't be as much a problem as the old boss

Of course, if HTS stays in power and fucks with Israel, the Noticers will just say "Look, now Israel is starting again. We all know who the real troublemakers are. (While ignoring half a century of peace with Egypt and Jordan)"

A bit of reporting from the new chaos that is Syria, including digestion of annexed territories and virtue signaling lies from the various gangster proxy entities. Get a load of Bibi avatar's remarks, which always need to be interpreted with the Cracker Jax Satanic Inversion decoder ring.

Looks like IDF got Turkey for the holidays.

But of course the 1000s of videos taken on 10/7 are Israeli Fakes

The same “human rights activists” who screamed in outrage when Israel took out Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles are completely silent as Arabs butcher their own people in the most barbaric ways imaginable.

IDF stockpile strikes probably saved the lives of 10k's of Arabs

Russia and Iran caused this by propping up the Assads' minority coalition "unnaturally" for 40-50 years.

Now the lid exploded and the majority that was roughly handled for two-three generations is exacting revenge.

Not that they're the good guys. Just to show that "Unintended consequences" from "Meddling" is not confined to the USA.

The US probably told the PKK that we ain't gonna be protecting your boys in Syria anymore. US troops are gonna be outta there.

So whaddya know, after 40-50 years of hostilities with Turkey the PKK says they're gonna knock off their terrorism and live and let live.

Trump - the president of peace.

What was she doing when this photo was taken?


@grok
The woman in the photo is likely a Palestinian fighter from the Lebanese Civil War era, possibly linked to the Damour massacre in 1976 where PLO militants killed Maronite Christians. Her identity isn’t clear, but the image matches the conflict’s timeline and setting. Check historical accounts for more on female fighters in that war.

Balkanize Syria

Lebanon had no chance; Iraq sucked. East and West Pakistan didn't even work with a Muslim Supermajority (on ethnic grounds).

No more multi-confessional, multi-ethnic states. Syria is actually EASILY divisible with most of the Christians and Alawites on the Med Coast, the Shi'a on the borders, and the Druze on the coast and near Mt. Druze just over the Jordanian and Israeli border. Leave the Hinterland to the Sunnis and the Kurds.

Divide Syria and while at it, Lebanon, into Christian, Alawite, Druze, and Shi'a states.

Lebanese Forces and Gamayel was right all along.

The closest for aid would be the Turks, it's just south of Antioch, unfortunately a lot of the Sunni extremists are backed by Erdogan.

The House of Assad ran an alliance of minorities against the Majority Sunni for 50 years, and now the chickens are coming home to roost with a lot of anger ready to show the same kindness and goodwill they were shown at Hama and elsewhere.

Much butthurt over at Strategic Culture over Russia losing Syria.

"I can't believe after three generations of ghosts, Homs, general repression and retardation, that the Sunni majority is slapping their oppressors around a bit after taking power, boo hoo"

I don't know why CIA was hell bent on doing this to Syria, but a lot of dead people there now.
