The Middle East is still about oil, isn't it?

The Iraq War wasn't enough, so now we have a new objective for another war----ISIS. Then we have another target we can use---that would be IRAN. Then who would it be next? Still more excuses to protect "our" deserved oil.

    The ME is about more than oil.  It's about Pax Americana and building military bases, oil pipelines, the petrodollar, central banking, fear and control.

  • Oil is part of the equation though it's not about stealing the oil, it's about cutting off the supply to jack up the price.

    This is not about the national interest. It's about the corporate interest. The oil companies make more money when supply contracts.

    This is why the west funded and supplied ISIS under the pretext of aiding Syrian rebels. The more the middle east falls into chaos, the more money the western military industrial complex will make in the wars to come.

    Their dream is for every nation in the middle east to fall to ISIS. Oil prices would go through the roof and the west would have a pretext to intervene.

    Fortunately Russia isn't standing for it. That's one of the reasons why a new cold war has started.
