Because I'm not a thin skinned twit that can't handle it if someone disagrees with me.

This is an important development and sends the world further down the road to the next world war.

Everyone has the right to have an opinion on this, so feel free to share yours.

Russian Navy Seen Escorting Iranian Tankers Bound for Syria

Last week, the Iranian-flagged oil tanker Samah entered the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal. After a few miles, the 900-foot-long ship stopped reporting its position and destination. Evidence suggests the ship sailed to Syria, escorted by two Russian Navy ships, including a destroyer.

Russia’s role in protecting the shipment may change the dynamics in the Eastern Mediterranean. In the past, Iranian tankers sailing to Syria have been intercepted by the U.K. Royal Navy. The Russian Navy escort could be viewed as a precautionary step, raising the political and military risks of any intervention by the Royal Navy or others.

Last July, an Iranian tanker destined for Syria, Adrian Darya-1, was seized by U.K. Royal Marines off Gibraltar. The British accused Iran of supplying Syria with oil in contravention of European Union sanctions. Iran quickly seized a British-flagged tanker in a likely retaliatory move. Eventually, in September, Adrian Darya-1 was released by a local court with the assurance that it would not deliver its oil to Syria – but days later, it transshipped its oil in Syrian waters.

Russians use that oil too. The US actually sank tankers bringing oil to the Syrians AND the Russians.

Trump is going to fuck around and cause the Russians to kick the US entirely out of Syria and open a land corridor directly to Iran. Iraq would probably welcome the return of control of their northern oil fields also.
