Syrian War: US And Israel Prepare For Coordinated Campaign Against Iranian Forces

Noam Chomsky is a Jewish ‘ gatekeeper’. Don’t trust them. Or him. He’s there to keep your eyes away from the ball.

Doesn’t help that the US government seems joined at the hip with Saudi Arabia, whose foreign policy is mainly aimed at hosing Shia. Iraq might want to keep being a US client state, but how much help could they expect from the US against Saudi machinations? With that hostility breathing down their necks, they have to get close to any natural allies around.

The U.S / Israel will learn the hard way that springing a regional war in that particular region will open Pandora’s box.

Iran, Hezbollah, Syrian Arab Army and all its auxiliaries, NDF, just about all Syrian and Iraqi tribes, thousands upon thousands of Afghan , Chechen volunteers would literally overwhelm the region.

Iran alone has the Basij volunteer force that by some estimated reaches 17 million volunteers sworn to see the destruction of Israel.

U.S./ Israeli air power will not change the situation on the ground. Palestine will go back to being Palestine, and the U.S., British and French will have been effectively evicted/expelled from the region as a whole. With China more than happy to fill the void, along with a resurgent Russia.

Cheap, lethal weapons supplied by the Chinese, and the axis of Resistance will supply ample manpower.

If Israel decides to use non-conventional means, than 6-7 million Israeli’s will not be safe from annihilation. Iran has every square meter/foot of occupied Palestine for redundant ballistic missile bombardment using high yield, very accurate now (thanks to Chinese technology) warheads.

Iran wont even give Netanyahoo and the others time to escape.

This is what i equate it to as well.

A cowardly way to declare war. Because the public does not want war, this was here everything stays classified, and the public wont know the difference.

This is greasy, greasy like using civilian airliners in another country as cover for airstrikes at christmas.

GIDF , greasy incompetent defense force.

The only War on Terrorism should be Fought in America, ISISraHell & Europe…

Donald Trump’s policies

When President Trump nominated the representative from Kansas, Mike Pompeo, as Director of the CIA, we interpreted this unexpected nomination in terms of the President’s difficulty to find allies in the Republican Party which he had just over-run. We had forgotten that from 2006 to 2010, Pompeo had been the CEO of the hydrocarbon equipment supplier Sentry International. He knew how the oil market worked, and knew personally the world’s main actors. At the same time, President Trump nominated Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State. Tillerson had been the CEO of one of the major hydrocarbon companies, Exxon-Mobil. We should therefore have considered the possibility that energy policy would be at the centre of the actions of his administration.

It is obviously impossible today to estimate the extent of Pompeo’s actions as head of the secret service. However, we may entertain the thought that his older objectives may not be too far removed from those he defends today. And in fact, it so happens that he has just revealed them.

Every year, an advisory board created by the uncontested specialist of the hydrocarbon market, Daniel Yergin, organises an international meeting concerning the evolution of the situation. The 2019 Congress (CERAweek, 9 to 13 March, in Houston, Texas) was the largest international meeting in History on this subject. The CEOs of the main companies of 78 countries were present. Top of the bill was the speech by Mike Pompeo. The whole profession had been notified of the importance of his intervention, and this was the only moment at which the huge room was chock-full.

After having saluted his ex-colleagues, Mike Pompeo expressed his pride for the incredible performances of his country’s oil industry, which, in six years, had become the world’s major oil producer, thanks to new techniques for the extraction of shale. He announced that he had created a special bureau in the State Department tasked with managing energy resources. From now on, the directors of specialised US companies would have to talk to him. His mission was to help them to win markets overseas. In exchange, they must agree to help their own country to apply his energy policy.

This consisted both of producing as much as possible in the United States, and also drying up a part of the world offer in order to balance the market. This is the only way that the country would be able to sell shale oil and gas, since their extraction is particularly expensive.

According to the Pompeo doctrine, it is not a question of reducing world production to the level of demand per quotas of production, such as the OPEP+ has instituted for the last two years, but by closing the door on certain large-scale exporters – Iran, Venezuela and Syria (whose gigantic reserves were discovered only recently, and are not yet being exploited). The NOPEC project (No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act) should therefore soon emerge from the archives. This proposed law, of which numerous variants were introduced to Congress two decades ago, is aimed at eliminating the sovereign immunity that the OPEP countries invoke in order to form a cartel, despite US anti-trust laws. It would enable the pursuance before US tribunals of all the state-members of OPEP+, despite their having been nationalised, for having profited from their dominant position, and would therefore influence the rise in prices.

It so happens that, since the end of 2016, Russia has associated itself with OPEP in order to raise prices. It has thus agreed to diminish its production. This is all the more indispensable for Russia since its economy suffers from Western sanctions, and that the export of hydrocarbons – and also weapons – is one of its main sources of income. Consequently, in the current situation, the interests of Moscow and Washington do not hamper one another, but coincide to avoid flooding the market. This is why Russia does nothing to help Iran to export its oil, and still does not exploit the areas of Syria of which its nationalised companies have acquired the monopoly. It is also probable that it will not help Venezuela in this sector either. As a result, the transfer of the European headquarters of the PDVSA to Moscow has been postponed.

Russia, which saved Syria from NATO’s mercenary jihadists, has never agreed to go any further. Without reaction, it watches the slow collapse of this once prosperous nation. The situation has not yet degraded into famine, like in Yemen, but is inexorably approaching that condition.

However, the United States intend not only to stabilise the world offer, but also to determine its flow, which is the source of the pressure by Washington both on the European Union and its member-states to avoid terminating their pipeline North Stream 2. The point is to free the EU from is dependence on Russian hydrocarbons. In the event that these interventions should be crowned with success, Russia would turn this flow towards China, which would be unable to pay the same price.

Already, in order to respond to the needs of the European Union, the United States are building,as fast as possible, methane ports capable of handling shale gas. Meanwhile, Russia is accelerating the construction of the Turkish Stream pipeline, which would create another route to reach the Union.

Besides this,the US Treasury Department is blocking all means of transport for Iranian and Venezuelan oil, and also deliveries to destinations in Syria. The data to which it has access attest that the CIA had begun to observe this commerce in detail since the election of Donald Trump, including during the period of transition, which confirms the idea of the central position of energy in its policies. The attitude of the White House towards Syria is different, insofar as this country is currently unable to exploit its reserves, and Russia is allowing time to pass. The aim is to prevent reconstruction and therefore make life impossible for its people. The CIA is implementing an intense strategy of sabotage against any form of energy supply. The majority of the population, for example, has no more gas for heating their homes, nor for cooking purposes. Worse, a Turkish petrol tanker which was transporting Iranian product to Syria was sabotaged off the port of Latakia. The ship exploded, causing the deaths of its entire crew and a vast oil slick which the Western Press did not even mention.

Considering that Hezbollah participates in the Lebanese government while serving Iranian interests, the US administration extended its ban on the export of oil to Beirut Mike Pompeo is attempting to impose a new distribution of territorial waters which would re-route Lebanese oil tankers under Israëli sovereignty.

In identical fashion, Venezuela gives oil to Cuba in exchange for its military experts and its doctors. The State Department is trying to sanction any exchange between the two countries, particularly since Cuban military experts are considered to be responsible for the support given to President Maduro by the Venezuelan army.

Coming evolutions

For the moment, Donald Trump’s policies can only succeed by diminishing US demand. Until now, hydrocarbons were mainly used to fill automobile petrol tanks, which explains the development of projects for electric cars. Consuming petrol in order to supply electricity is much less expensive in the United States than using it directly in car motors. Above all, electricity can be supplied from various sources on US territory, inexpensively and at stable prices.

It is important to note that the development of electric vehicles has hardly any connection with the ideology according to which we must decrease the production of CO2 to bring down the temperature of the Earth. On one hand because the making of batteries can itself produce large quantities of CO2, but on the other, because electricity can be much more responsible for the production of CO2 than oil, when it is produced by coal, as is the case in Germany and China.

Moreover, the consumption of oil is evolving. On the world scale, it is no longer in priority destined for transport, but for the fabrication of plastics.

The United States will not allow the export of hydrocarbons from Iran, Venezuela and Syria until 2023 or 2024, the date at which their shale production will begin to decrease rapidly, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Once again, the entire geopolitical structure will be overturned.

Thierry Meyssan

There’s some truth and a bit of nonsense to this. It’s true that there’s been fundamental changes in the supply of oil and the perception of its availability over time, and that right now the US is swimming in it and so don’t have to worry as much about disrupting supply. So back a few years when Chavez was alive, for instance, Venezuela was tricky for the US to deal with because an interruption in Venezuelan oil supply to the US would have serious economic consequences, and this is no longer true, unfortunately for Venezuela. So the US regaining of ability to supply its oil needs from local supply has huge foreign policy implications (although it may be quite temporary).

And it’s certainly true that for a while it was thought the supply of oil was much more limited than it turns out to be, although there’s an often ignored corollary–the supply of oil cheap to extract is still limited. All the new stuff is expensive–mostly fracking, deep sea, or tar, all of which cost a bunch to extract. Fracking is also probably rather limited; it’s an odd case of a supply which can be exploited very rapidly but seems not to last long, so right now the US is swimming in the stuff but I wouldn’t be too sure about 15 years from now. However, there’s plenty of tar for the long haul.

All of this is gonna end up moot in a while because the cost of renewable energy and batteries keep dropping. The economics is shifting fast; we’re going to reach the point where control of oil or natural gas won’t be a weapon any more because countries worried about it will just change over. Indeed, countries will change over whether they’re worried about foreign control of oil or not, whether they’re worried about climate change or not, just because it’s cheaper. Then there’ll be fights over control of lithium and such.

But the stuff about population is nonsense. I had a huge paragraph, but you know what? Never mind.

The bottom line is, US uses about 20 million barrels of oil a day and produces about 12 million barrels, a lot of their shale oil is light and needs to be processed with heavy crude. With Venezuelan sanctions there is 0 heavy crude being imported from a favorite Western Hemisphere source.
They hardly have the oil market cornered or under control, it usually is a smoke and mirror strategy, the placement of Venezuela into the Russian axis of cooperation allows Russia to strategize a hydrocarbon policy that will offset and overpower any western scheme.
Considering the reserves of Iraq, Iran, Russia and Venezuela, and to a lesser extent Algeria and Lybia, this geopolitical axis will control and define the hydrocarbon future of the world.
US is already not competitive in selling LNG to Europe or Asia, Russian LNG is 60-65% cheaper, without considering piped gas that undercuts US prices even more significantly

What defeated Hitler?
Opening a second front.
What will destroy America, opening the 100th front.
Already they are stretched, their carriers remain in port, Libya is fighting back, and the US retreats, because they are fighting too many wars, and they have no money except that which they pillage from their victims.

“John Bolton & the Trumps/Kuschner in the Front Lines for the duration.”
What a waste of time, just hang them from the nearest lamppost.
America is full of Trumps and Bolton’s, hang the lot of them.

Israel is America, and America is Israel, the only people too stupid to see that simple truth are Americans.

wet dreams and reality does not walk hand in hand. As for the plans they been talking about them the last 30+ years so it does not take a rocket scientist, to understand their plans, it takes a miracle though to see them been realized.

America and its NATO minions are cactus, their reign of terror is coming to an end.

Syria destruction did not work out at all, so there will be no Iran destruction. A US attack on Iran will result in the destruction of Tel Aviv and Haifa in 1 week and the destruction of all Persian gulf US bases along with the choking of strait of Hormuz.carry on dreaming. Designating irgc as terrorists will simply allow irgc and proxies to attack US forces and slaughter the balance of them in Iraq and Syria. THE US shot itself in the foot by overthrowing Saddam allowing Iran to create a Shia super state from Tehran to Beirut threatening Israel’s existence like never before. The us forgets the painful lesson of Beirut where shias slaughtered 200 marines and at the height of Iraq Sunni revolt how they begged soleimani to stop attack on us troops in Iraq. Go fly a kite stupid. the US days in the middle east are almost over and the fake Jew khazars days are numbered notbin years but literally in days.

No, it will allow pro Iranian groups across the region to attack US forces
