Think Jerusalem has nothing to do with Russia Russia Russia? You’d be wrong. It’s all about Russia Russia Russia, with all due respect to all the detailed and cogent commentary I’ve read here and elsewhere.
Orange Julius Caesar is just following orders here. The Russian Mafia/Oligarchs/”Government”/Putin are just STARVING on these cheap, long term, Obama-enabled $40/bbl oil prices, as much as all but them, the Venezuelans, and the Koch Brothers like them. It’s where like 90% of all Oligarch non-protection racket money comes from.
Oil is why Russia sent troops to keep Syria stirred up. Take the Russians out of the situation there and tell me what you have. Peace. With the defeat of both Isis and Assad. Price of oil? Steady.
A Big Oil Deal and the sanctions standing in the way of it is why the Russian Mob took over the US and installed the Orange Dumpster Fire. Price of oil? Down, but the Russian Mafia gets a bunch more of it.
Oil is why Putin keeps telling the Baboon in Thief to lie about the Iran deal. The deal puts Iran’s oil on the market and promotes peace in the Middle East. Price of oil? Down.
Oil is why Putin told Jared the Boy Wonderful to go to Saudi Arabia to whisper The Treasonous One’s support for Alwaleed bin Talal’s purge of his political opponents and his brutal war in Yemen. Chaos around the largest concentrations of the easiest oil to obtain in the world. Price of oil? UP UP UP.
And Oil is why Putin has now instructed The Putrid Human Feces Pretending to be President to go nuclear in Israel, needlessly stirring up the natives by declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Chaos in Israel means chaos in the greater Middle East which means…..price of oil goes WAY UP UP UP. OK, the planet might get turned into a smoking cinder, but that’s just a side effect to these raving psychopaths.
Just sayin…. Because I really don’t see anyone else pointing out this very obvious reasoning for something an awful lot of people way smarter than I am don’t seem to fathom. It really is this simple. Money and power motivate these maniacs. Go beyond that and you’ve anthropomorphized these beasts.
