Money - Power - Energy.....................from Rico

If you want to better 'understand' what the Hell is happening in Syria and the Middle East (and why), look at it not from the Western perspective of Cold War 2.0, but from the Russian point of view.

 

Of course it's about money [read: power] as I have said before, and the dueling NatGas pipelines to EUrope explain a lot about the 'problem' in Syria [hint: the problem's not Assad, but that he's in the way].

 

But now look at it from 30,000 feet and view the Big Picture. It's still about money [read: power] but on a macro vice micro scale.

 

This is the face of the real issue at hand. Energy.

- Energy consumption meet energy production.
