Uncle Sam is building his oil state in Syria

71
Political scientists and analysts have been talking about the “accomplished” disintegration of Syria for several years now. The decay even formed its own story. Today decay suffered. On 2018 year. Probably, this year the Americans finally "staked out" Syrian oil, democratizing the neighborhood of Deir ez-Zor.





About two years ago, the collapse of Syria was discovered by an expert from Russia Alexander Ignatenko (President of the Institute of Religion and Politics). According to him, the collapse of Syria actually took place. He told about it in August 2016 of the year.

“Syria is in a state close to disintegration,” the expert said at a meeting of the VTsIOM expert club. - The federal region of Northern Syria (Kurds) has already declared its autonomy more than a year ago. It has its own flag, anthem, they are preparing to adopt their constitution, they have their own army, and so on. ” In addition, the Assad government does not control the Sunni areas of Syria. In addition, “IG” (prohibited in the Russian Federation) is “a fairly rigid education in the sense that it cannot be knocked over in a month and a year,” the scientist quotes RIA News". And the Syrian army lacks the strength to take control of the Sunni regions. And therefore, "that Syria, which was before 2011, will never be." New Syria will consist of several independent states, including the Kurdish territory and the Sunni territory.

In 2017, the coming disintegration of Syria was reported in France.

In September, French President Emmanuel Macron proposed the creation of an international contact group comprising permanent members of the UN Security Council and countries with influence in Syria. This idea was then developed by Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who said that the group would develop a roadmap for a settlement in Syria, otherwise the country would disintegrate.

“If we do not take this path [of de-escalation, cease-fire, elections and the formation of a constitution], - сказал he is in October 2017, - there is a risk of disintegration of Syria, its division into three or four regions. ”

At the beginning of 2018, France developed the theme of the disintegration of Syria.

The country can expect disintegration into several parts, and ethnic cleansing and a new wave of terrorism can also await, France’s envoy to the UN, Francois Delauttre, warned in January. “If the question is whether the situation is difficult, then yes, there is no doubt about it,” he quotes. TASS. “I firmly believe that the country is at a crossroads, which is possibly the worst: fragmentation, ethnic cleansing, despair of the Sunni minority, which will lead to a new wave of terrorism, new humanitarian tragedies, waves of migration ... All this is possible.”

These words were voiced after Vladimir Putin announced the prevention of the collapse of Syria.

In November 2017, President Putin announced at a meeting of Russia, Turkey and Iran that the collapse of the SAR was prevented.

"It was possible to prevent the collapse of Syria, there was a real chance to put an end to the long-term civil war," the channel quoted Putin’s words. "Star".

Further, Vladimir Putin announced the completion of large-scale hostilities in Syria: he said that this was achieved thanks to the efforts of Russia, Turkey and Iran.

Also, the Russian president noted that in order to resolve the situation in Syria, help to civilians, demining of the territory and help with the return of refugees are needed.

However, the hypotheses about the disintegration of Syria are voiced to this day.

The Permanent Representative of Saudi Arabia under the League of Arab States declared in March 2018 that Syria could be divided. This will happen because there are too many parties involved in the Syrian conflict.

“I believe that this will ultimately lead to the disintegration of Syria”, - expressed Assumption Saudi diplomat.

But quite a fresh opinion. Analytical. Russian. "Syria may collapse already this year," - casually reports V. Mukhin, columnist "Independent newspaper".

There are also known reasons for the imminent collapse of the UAR into pieces: this will happen because the United States "planned spending on supporting militants and opposition authorities in a belligerent country."

The browser has two main points.

The first is a local standoff. Russia and its allies in Syria (Iran and partly Turkey) cannot ensure the territorial integrity of the country. Russia will be opposed by groups of Arabs and Kurds, supervised by the American coalition.

The second is the financing of the American armed forces in Syria, fighting against the official Damascus.

According to the author, the White House "has planned significant costs to support the separatist territories in Syria and the creation there of not only alternative Damascus authorities, but also large armed formations." The Pentagon justifies the costs of supporting the Syrian opposition in the budget for the 2019 fiscal year, including “payments to verified Syrian opposition groups.”

What amounts are we talking about? At first glance, small.

The Pentagon wants to get 80 million dollars - ostensibly to fight the "IG" and ensure internal security. But the United States is not going to transfer the occupied territories, on whose security millions will be spent, to Bashar Assad. Washington is going to invest in the “moderate opposition,” and not in Damascus.

The Pentagon document also proposes by the end of this fiscal year (September 30 ends) to increase the number of "supported" representatives of the "proven Syrian opposition" from 10 thousand to 60-65 thousand fighters.

But the humanitarian and political actions related to the settlement of the situation, the US military budget has not provided.

According to the analyst, 80 million dollars - the amount is relatively large. Syria has a low standard of living, and the American millions are extremely important for the opponents of Assad.

And what about Moscow?

It turns out that she is not able to influence what is happening.

Russia adequately assesses the situation, but it cannot or does not want to radically change the state of affairs. As admitted by Colonel Edward Rodyukov, a corresponding member of the Academy of Military Sciences, Russia will help Assad liberate East Guta and other enclaves in Syria, and then the country will move to a peaceful life. “But this is unlikely to change the overall balance of power,” the expert believes. - Syria is already de facto divided. And the actions of the United States are aimed at making this division final. ” Damascus together with Moscow can get bogged down in a war that as a result will grow into a global one. If Damascus and Moscow jointly continue the struggle with the Arab-Kurdish formations supported by the United States, there will be a great risk that the war will develop into a global war, where "the military machines of the United States and Russia will actually collide."

The split of the SAR and the departure of Assad from the political scene, we note, has long been the ideal of Washington’s Syrian policy. On the "care Assad" was interpreted by Madame Clinton. As for Mr. Trump, you cannot call him an ardent admirer of the Syrian president. And if it were not for intervention in the war of Russia, it is unlikely that Assad would rule the country now.

The disintegration of Syria is an undoubted project of the USA. The American military machine methodically implements it. Already, the Americans, who were not without reason called oil democratizers, consider almost "their" a certain part of the territory of Syria. We are talking about the neighborhood of Deir ez-Zor to the west and east, those that are rich in oil.

Previously, the militants of “IG” hosted and traded in minerals there, but now other times and other owners have arrived. If the United States consolidates on a lacquered piece of territory, they will not allow anyone to the oil there.

Hillary Clinton talked a lot about energy oil independence of the USA, and she knew a lot about these projects. And here you are: energy strategy - in action.

This strategy of Americans is well understood in Russia.

In a February interview with Euronews, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov сказалthat the United States has been working in Syria for two or three years. Their goal is to establish control over part of the country.

The Russian Foreign Minister believes that the US strategy in Syria comes down to the following: “to live forever in Syria with its armed forces”. Why? According to Lavrov, Americans are leading the matter to “isolating a huge chunk of Syrian territory from the rest of the country, in violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic, create some quasi-local authorities there, trying in every possible way to create some kind of autonomous entity, relying , again, to the Kurds. "

It is not difficult to guess that the “piece” is precisely the neighborhood of Deir ez-Zor with their oil. Previously, this city was the center of the oil industry in Syria.

The city itself in the autumn of 2017, the Syrian government forces, with the support of the Russian Aerospace Force of the Russian Federation, liberated themselves from the "IG" formations.

But the United States is already hard to show teeth in those places. At the end of February, 2018, the American coalition bombed out several villages in the vicinity of Deir ez-Zor.

Earlier in February, the formations fighting on the side of Assad fell under the air strike of the coalition under Deir ez-Zor. Other Western media wrotethat there "could kill dozens of Russian citizens."

These blows, of course, are just the beginning.

The United States will replace the former detachments of Islamist terrorists in its territories with its own military forces and the forces of the sponsored "insurgents". A short period of democratization of the population will follow, after which a rapid pumping of oil will begin in the name of the prosperity of the United States and the freedom of the new Syrian democracy that respects the rights of the American person.

As for the Kurds, they are in the predatory game of splitting Syria - cannon fodder or, at best, extras. Maybe they will have a chance to create their own state, but the best pieces will still be taken by the United States. Transnational capital is not interested in the well-being of local peoples.

Of course, the appropriation of oil fields at the same time will be the beginning of the collapse of Syria. No one will enter the war with the United States because of the “piece of territory”.

        It should be noted that, in words, the Guarantor initially advocated the integrity of Syria. And in deeds, the first suggested to partners (including the USA) to divide Syria. This is his consent to the expansion of the northern territories by the Turks, negotiations on this in Astana, in Sochi. Well, etc ..
        The Americans did not stoop to negotiations with Putin, and divided Syria in their own way. They decided the main task was to win the oil race, to which Russia was initially much closer (a breakthrough to Deir ez-zor).
        As a result, on one side there was a hostile population towards the Alawites, who needed to be fed something, and on the other, a source of money.
        Now, American proxies will pump oil, and with this money they will carry out subversive work among the huge Sunni impoverished population that Assad got. And as soon as Assad loosens his grip, and Russia ceases to help, it will blaze again in Syria.

      Somehow the Vietnam War was already forgotten. Much time has passed, several generations have changed after its completion. But this war was even worse than the current one in the SAR! And the Ammerz colonizers managed to divide Vietnam into two parts (as did Korea before). And the US Armed Forces fought there directly, and not with the wrong hands, using all their might and all their insolent cynicism! It’s just that nuclear weapons haven’t reached the point, but here the Soviet Union has taken notice. There was a terrible war, bloody and long, but the Vietnamese did well, they survived! That's who you need to learn from stamina! The Ammerzavians could not do anything with them, just as they were not hungry. Even if nuclear bombs were dropped on Vietnam, the Vietnamese would probably have risen from the radioactive ashes, and in the last throw they would have bitten their teeth into the throats of this scum! Thank God, there were no nuclear weapons! But Vietnam survived and won! And striped thugs still have Vietnamese syndrome! So nothing is lost for the ATS! Everything will depend on the will of the political leadership (the results of the betrayal of the Saddam environment, for them a good example of what happens in this case!). Well, the Russian Federation also has nowhere to go, the very future existence is at stake! The GDP and Co. will also fall back, like the USSR with the hunchback headed from Afghanistan, and this will be the beginning of the end! Also, more than a clear example. And so that this tramp does not stretch indefinitely, it is necessary to tie up with this "partnership", concern and other diplomatic crap, and begin to act harshly and without compromise! Our political correctness is expensive for the RF-lives of our military. Ammerzavtsev have no rules, meanness is their rule! With such a conversation should be short! Melon in turnips so that brains would fly out through the ears, and all the concern! The faster it ends in the SAR, the faster the Sabbath ends in Hahland. These two abscesses are connected by a communicating vessel through Fascistton.

        You’re just like our media hear the ringing, but you don’t know where it is. Firstly Vietnam divided France before the Americans. Secondly, the USSR and the USA divided 38 zones of influence over Korea parallel to their zones of influence. Even there is an agreement on joint management of the country. How do you everything turns out smoothly. if the Soviet Union around the world was helped and supported by the coming to power of the pro-communist regimes, then they are soft and fluffy, like the meridos, the democratic forces support-they are Satan himself lol it’s geopolitics. here all means are good and there are no good and bad ones. and no resistance to Assad will help anymore. Russia, like the USSR in Afghanistan, made the same mistake. She put on the one who, at best, supports 10 percent of the population. Question Syria’s division is a matter of time. And it’s not even the Americans who are to blame, but its ruler, who placed the interests of a certain circle of society above the interests of the country's population. And in Ukraine, it will all end as they cease to support LDNR, but it’s slowly going on. And it’s not necessary now to talk about the Russian world, because at the beginning of the whole Kotovasia, so many normal, healthy men left for Russia and they live here and they don’t want to defend their homeland.

      Uncle Sam, of course, is still a beetle, but an analytical article about oil without a single figure cited as a proof of what has been said, confuses me, to put it mildly.
      Once, I already wrote to IN that even in pre-war times, Syria produced only about 400 thousand barrels of oil per day, of which, 80% immediately consumed itself. (For comparison, Libya has 1.4 -1.8 million barrels per day, and the entire Middle East today produces 28.5 million bar. per day, global consumption up to 89 million bar. in a day). In the United States, only a strategic oil reserve is almost 700 million barrels. In other words, this is all Syrian oil to the last drop for 5 (five!) years of intense mining. The United States can feed the whole world with its own cash supply during a week. hi
      For those interested in:
      Syria has never been a transit hub for the export of oil, there are no modernly equipped oil ports, although earlier they pumped Iraqi oil through an oil pipeline and poured it into a tanker. Yes, all sorts of bandyuki poured oil into the oil tankers and somewhere (I remember, even to Turkey) they sold it in small details, but this is all nonsense in the general oil stream.
      Oil flows around the world from the Middle East go in three directions: through the Arabian Sea to the Asian market or, bending around Africa with access to the Atlantic Ocean, and the last option - through the Suez Canal and across the Mediterranean to European markets.
      More than 80% of cargo ships that go to the Mediterranean Sea do not even approach the shores of Syria. A few hundred kilometers near the border of Syria there is a large port in Turkey, which unites oil flows from Iraq and Azerbaijan - Ceyhan Oil Terminal, which has a peak load of up to 2 million barrels per day, but actually makes out about 1.1 million barrels per day. Syria, with its oil capabilities, has nothing to do there. hi

        Greetings, Alexander. hi in addition to your words, I can add: a record was broken in the United States at the beginning of the year in 1970, the level of oil production in the United States exceeded 10 million barrels per day and the rate of production continues to increase. At the end of 18 or at the beginning of the 19th day the US will overtake Russia, t The credit policy and oil price allow us to steadily increase production. The ban on the export of American oil, which has been in effect since 1973, has been canceled, today the United States is already exporting 1,7 million barrels of oil per day, and this year it will commission capacities to export 3,8 billion cubic feet (107-108 million cubic meters) of natural gas per day. The only problem so far is the logistics component. 70 to 100 tankers are needed for the United States to compete in gas markets in Europe and Asia. Sabine Pass LNG plant with a capacity of 14 million operates in the USA t, six more are under construction. In the next 3 years they will be put into operation. The ban on the development of offshore deposits has also been lifted. And everyone still thinks that the United States in Syria because of oil laughing

          And I greet you, namesake! I dare to suggest that not everyone thinks so. It's just such a familiar, although already outdated, stamp. They say, the imperialists, but for the sake of oil and so on ...
          From the editorial of the newspaper Trud, the beginning of the 70's:
          The enormous, ever-increasing national economic and military-strategic importance of oil, the relatively low costs associated with its production, and the rapid turnover of funds make it a sphere of extremely profitable investment of capital. At that time, oil control serves the imperialists as an important tool of economic and political domination. All this predetermines the fierce nature of the imperialist struggle for the division and redistribution of world oil resources, for the preservation and expansion of control over this most valuable type of raw materials and fuel.

            Yeah recourse and people write about it, whose budget depends entirely on the cost of oil. Moreover, the most interesting thing is that even now Rosneft is investing quietly in the development of shale deposits in the USA. If you follow the logic that the imperialists are unleashing wars for the sake of money, then it turns out that they are fighting they are for brains, because the main source of budget revenue is income from intellectual property. It is several times higher than income from oil belay

      Uncle Sam, of course, is still a beetle, but an analytical article about oil without a single figure cited as a proof of what has been said, confuses me, to put it mildly.
      Once, I already wrote to IN that even in pre-war times, Syria produced only about 400 thousand barrels of oil per day, of which, 80% immediately consumed itself. (For comparison, Libya has 1.4 -1.8 million barrels per day, and the entire Middle East today produces 28.5 million bar. per day, global consumption up to 89 million bar. in a day). In the United States, only a strategic oil reserve is almost 700 million barrels. In other words, this is all Syrian oil to the last drop for 5 (five!) years of intense mining. The United States can feed the whole world with its own cash supply during a week. hi
      For those interested in:
      Syria has never been a transit hub for the export of oil, there are no modernly equipped oil ports, although earlier they pumped Iraqi oil through an oil pipeline and poured it into a tanker. Yes, all sorts of bandyuki poured oil into the oil tankers and somewhere (I remember, even to Turkey) they sold it in small details, but this is all nonsense in the general oil stream.
      Oil flows around the world from the Middle East go in three directions: through the Arabian Sea to the Asian market or, bending around Africa with access to the Atlantic Ocean, and the last option - through the Suez Canal and across the Mediterranean to European markets.
      More than 80% of cargo ships that go to the Mediterranean Sea do not even approach the shores of Syria. A few hundred kilometers near the border of Syria there is a large port in Turkey, which unites oil flows from Iraq and Azerbaijan - Ceyhan Oil Terminal, which has a peak load of up to 2 million barrels per day, but actually makes out about 1.1 million barrels per day. Syria, with its oil capabilities, has nothing to do there. hi

But if you look at the history of the founding of this party, then this is a semi-zygomet structure, so to speak Arabists? It seems like this party was one of the first to even Mein Kampf in Arabic It is clear that over time, it was slightly modified, but judging by the policy of the Assad, which he carried out before the war, a number of convictions remained. Is it possible that the regime that supports GDP remained at the level of the Nazi and semi-totalitarian ???

            The fact is that back in the 20 of the last century, the Syrian Michel Aflak went to Paris, read Kant, Hegel and Marx and began to create the intellectual basis of the Arab Renaissance Party - Baath. By the 1960 years, the Baath bizarrely mixed in itself socialism, nationalism and pan-Arabism, mixed up with irreconcilable hostility towards Israel. The Soviet Union skillfully took advantage of this diversity. His activities in the BV became particularly active in the first year after the Baath Party came to power in Syria. As Kosygin said in a speech to voters in Moscow 8 June 1966,
            This activity was aimed at strengthening the Syrian-Egyptian cooperation and preparing the groundwork for other Arab countries to join the bloc, "having thrown off colonial oppression and in new conditions continue to oppose imperialism and reaction."
            Reaction meant all those countries (Saudi Arabia, Jordan) and organizations in Arab countries that refused to pursue pro-Soviet policies.
            I already wrote in one of my articles that by the end of the USSR 50-s, I routinely divided the governments of the Arab world into backward feudal-monarchist ones, such as Saudi Arabia, Morocco or Oman, and progressive ones — democratic people, like Egypt, Syria and Iraq. . If the West looked at the Arab world through the prism of oil reserves, the USSR did not need Arab oil, but the USSR’s foreign policy reflected the concept of global competition between the two world systems in the second half of the 60s.
            Arab countries used the Soviet-Western contradictions simply sophisticated. It was enough to loudly call oneself a “democratic republic”, speculate about a “socialist orientation” and declare a struggle against colonialism and neo-colonialism, as these words turned into quite tangible economic and military bonuses from the USSR, the CMEA countries and the Warsaw Pact.
            For example, Nasser signed a contract with Moscow back in 1966, according to which the USSR gained access to ports on the Mediterranean and Red Seas and three Egyptian airfields. On the Mediterranean Sea, Soviet ships stood in Port Said, Alexandria, and Mersa Matruh, and in the Red Sea, the USSR had a base at Ras Banas. In exchange, Moscow pledged to increase the supply of weapons and provide military specialists. So did the new (after the next military coup) regime in Syria: it included two communists in the cabinet, sent several leaders to Moscow to “courses for young leaders” and nationalized a significant part of private enterprises. It looked like this, that Syria had clearly embarked on the path of becoming the first socialist state in the Arab world, and this instilled in the USSR confidence that it received an even more reliable base there than in Egypt. The USSR naval base on the Syrian coast was located in Latakia. Of course, I had to fork out and take out 120 million dollars for the construction of hydraulic structures on the Euphrates River, but who looks at such trifles in anticipation of new political dividends. We are talking about Hafez Asad, the papa of the current head of Syria. In 1963, Hafez Asad took part in the military coup (14-m in a row), which brought the Baath Party to Syria, and was appointed commander of the Air Force. In the 1966 year, in the 15 coup, which ousted the founding fathers of the party from government in favor of General Salah Jadid. Taking over the post of Minister of Defense in the new government, Hafez overthrew Jadid in the 1970 year as a result of the 16 th military coup. Is there any doubt that in the next elections he became president having received 98,9% of votes? After his death in 2000, Bashar Asad, an intellectual and an excellent ophthalmologist (his colleagues at Western Eye Hospital's Ophthalmology Center, located in London), became his successor. The Supreme Commander of the Syrian Armed Forces and Secretary of the Syrian Regional Branch of the Baath Party with 24 June 2000, Marshal. He presides 18 (!) Years. In 2000 and 2007, he was asserted by the president in non-alternative elections, and in 2014, he was re-elected in the first “alternative” elections with the official result of 88,7% of votes. It was the third year of the war in Syria ...
            In fact, I don’t really like (sometimes I still have to) apply common labels like “Nazi”, semi-totalitarian, etc. The 20th century, which destroyed the system of royal and royal autocracy, gave rise to the institution of dictators. that no one has so far made clear demarcation lines between dictators, semi-dictators, "strong leaders", "charismatic leaders" and other similar gradations. Thus, the transition from a frank and clear dictator to, let's say, just an "authoritarian leader" fading out in halftones and not at all harsh. If everyone agrees that Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Mao, Pinochet, and, say, Pol Pot, are absolute dictators, then about Chan Chaishi or Muammar Gaddafi sometimes disagree. Ceausescu, Piłsudski, Ulmanis - Where does the dictator end and “just” a hard leader begins? If Ayatollah Khomeini, Fidel Castro or Idi Amin were 100% dictators by the standards of the Western world, then Nasser, Hafez Asad or Ho Chi Minh are inferior to them in terms of “dictatorship”. If you make a scale of dictatorial encroachments and place Hitler’s monster at the top of the absolute dictator, and quite positive, but an authoritarian leader like de Gaulle at the bottom, then Marshal Tito, Andropov, and Khrushchev, and Kerensky, will find a place between them and Kemal Atatürk, and Salazar ...
            Supporting the regime in Syria - the Russian Federation made its choice. This is the fruit of serious thought. I hope that comprehensive checks, analyzes of situations, calculations of variants of succession of events were made. Unfortunately, not everything can be taken into account and, of course, serious adjustments have to be made on the go. It's easy to get in here, it's not easy to get out. On BV there are no light warriors, alas ... hi

              The other day I was reading an extract from the Iranian constitution, so to speak the most interesting parts and an extract from a small green book that contains the fatwas of Ayatollah Khomeini. The first 5 paragraphs of Article 2 of the Iranian constitution, which read:

              The Islamic Republic is a system of government based on faith in:

              One God (as it is said in the phrase "There is no God but Allah"), in that He has the exclusive right to establish Sharia law and the need to obey his will
              Divine revelations and their fundamental role in the interpretation of laws
              The Last Judgment and Its Constructive Role in Human Development on the Path to God
              Divine Justice in the Creation and Establishment of Sharia Laws
              The permanence of imams (imamat) and their eternal rule and fundamental role in ensuring the continuation of the Islamic revolution.
              The fact that the country is ruled by believers, that is, radical Muslims, is beyond doubt. And as I understand from all the information that I came across, they believe in the twelfth imam. Ayatollah Ibrahim Amini, a professor at the religious training center in Qom, wrote a book under the notable title " Al-Imam al-Mahdi, Just the Leader of Humanity, "describing the connection between Shiite eschatology and Iran’s foreign policy. I will quote from his work. "The only victorious government of the whole world will be Islam, and people will devotedly make efforts to protect it. Islam will be the religion of all, and will enter into all the peoples of the world ... Mahdi will offer the religion of Islam to Jews and Christians, if they accept it, they will saved, otherwise they will be killed ... It seems unlikely that this catastrophe can be avoided ... War and bloodshed [are] inevitable ... Imam Veka and his supporters will overcome the forces of materialism, unbelief and godlessness through jihad " . And the definition of jihad by Khomeini: Jihad means the conquest of all non-Muslim territories. Such a war may well be declared after the formation of an Islamic government worthy of this name, at the direction of the imam or on his orders. Then the duty of every able-bodied adult man will be a volunteer for this predatory war, the ultimate goal of which is to extend the power of the Koranic law from one end of the Earth to the other. Of course, I do not want to label it, but somewhere I've heard such things. And the more trying to figure it out, the worse it is. I also hope that we have figured out the possible consequences. but from all of the above, it turns out that Iran is not our ally, at best a fellow traveler, just like Assad. and the strength of the latest information about this the question arises of the difference between official Iran and any other organization such as Hezbolfei or Hamas. I understand that the East is delicate and ..... dark. hi

                Quotes directly calling for hatred and murder can be found in the Qur'an and in the Bible. As the quotes calling for tolerance, love, mutual aid and kindness. Especially if you pull quotes from the context (both from the context of textual and historical) and supplement it with your own understanding. And the majority of people will always reach for good and tolerance. And there will always be a certain number of those who interpret the same texts in the opposite sense.
                Islam is 6,5 centuries younger than Christianity and 22 centuries younger than Judaism. It is said that what is happening to Christians in the middle of the 15th century is happening in it now, and with the Jews in the 8th century BC
                In the history of the Jews, this is called the “Period of divided kingdoms”, when Israel and Judea were separated and fought with each other throughout the 2,5 centuries. Perhaps they could have fought further, but then the Assyrians came first, then the Babylonians, and behind them the Romans had fewer opportunities for war (although minor religious conflicts with various sects continued until the 1st century AD)
                I will not even talk about what Christianity went through - open any historical reference book in the section "The era of reformation and religious wars" and see the events. The XV century is not even the height of events, the most "fun" began at the end of XVI.
                So, unfortunately, we live in an era when Islam is experiencing its terrible puberty, which has lingered for many centuries. The difference from the past is that the possibility of killing has increased significantly, Western civilization has softened and relaxed somewhat (to be frank), but the essence of what is happening is still the same. hi
                Having gained some life experience with age and adequately perceiving what was happening, I decided for myself this way: if someone declares to me directly that he wants to kill me, then I take this very seriously. And if this is stated by the supreme leaders of a certain State, then it is obliged to take it twice as seriously, because I am aware that when dealing with religious fanatics, it is not worthwhile to ignore any scenario, even a high degree of apocalypticity.

                    The “administrative resource” (you can put any meaning into this expression) will not give either Christianity, or Buddhism, or believers in some early arrival of the canary - an impetus to waging war against the Gentiles.

                        I am currently working on an article on the Six Day War. Usually, all they write about it fits into one phrase: "In the morning of 5 on June 1967, the Israeli Air Force operation began, destroying the Arab coalition Air Force in a few hours, after which Israel defeated the Arab armies left without air support." I want to talk about the little-known, about what was happening on both sides of the borders and very far from the BV on the eve and preceded this war. The article will be titled "The Six Day War. Prelude."
                        You surprised me. Who can be interested in the Joint today - a Jewish charitable organization? What are the contradictions?

              It seems to me that we are missing one of the main things. Money, monetization is certainly good. But judging by statistics, the number of drilling rigs in the USA is growing, tnm more that they have a good backlog of 3000 drilled, but for canned wells, the production cost of which is incomparably lower than developing new ones. this has already given an impetus to companies producing oil production equipment to increase supplies by 20%, lending is good in the banking sector, despite the risks, and seemingly low profitability. Plus, this has record low energy prices in the country, and this Another impetus for the development of the economy. Well, of course, the creation of new jobs - drilling, construction of terminals, hydraulic structures and related industries. I won’t be surprised if the United States shows 3-4% growth in production by the end of the year. And its domestic market will be independent of world in the next 2-3 years, it will begin to compete in the gas market in Europe and quietly squeeze Gazprom in every possible way. although the Asian LNG market much profitable.

                Indeed, according to Baker Hughes, the number of oil rigs in the US is increasing. The number of US drilling licenses is also growing.
                “The increase in the number of drilling rigs naturally leads to an increase in supplies. Provided that the rate of consumption has ceased to increase, it is logical for the market to reduce oil quotes, counting on the growth of supply. So far, this has not happened: prices for WTI oil futures, and the US market is primarily WTI oil, continue to grow even after this message. Probably, the market at the moment does not fully accept these changes, since so far it cannot be called a clear trend indicating a clear change in supply. "

                To be honest, current quotes don't bother me too much. I prefer to admire not the forecasts, but the charts of production and sales after the fact.

      Capturing the oil regions of the United States will drive oil to Europe, then all our efforts were in vain
