    We needed Saudi Arabia when we went off the gold standard in 1971. We made a deal that OPEC would only sell their oil in US Dollars and we would cut our domestic production. The result is the US had more money to spend and boy did we ever spend. You can run a bigger economy with petro dollars than you can gold. The military industrial complex loved it. We could outspend the Soviets and break their back. The CIA also put lot’s of US loyal despots in power to keep the Soviets from taking Middle East oil.

    So that’s our relation to the Middle East. It was about backing the US Dollar with the oil there and keeping the asoviets out of it.

    Follow the money. If you think any government really cares about the horrible stuff that goes on in the Middle East you are mistaken. Governments only care about power and most government officials are motivated by power and money. Don’t think those people have any measure of benevolence. They will tell you they do if that’s what you want to hear from them.

      Have you ever been to China? China has had internal conflicts for it’s whole history. The thing is the Chinese Communist Party rules with an iron fist. Not very easy to overthrow and the western world now has it’s economy tied up with the Chinese economy and they have had 40 years to play the nice guy and infiltrate our institutions and compromise our government officials.

      China is not a easy problem to deal with. The Chinese are way better at cyber warfare than we currently are. So believe me. We have our hands full and on top of that we are politically infighting over partisan bullshit and we can’t get unstuck from the Middle East bullshit we never should have gotten into. Also the Federal Reserve panicked and dropped rates because it’s all they can do. Half the banks in the west are insolvent due to bad loans. So we are skirting a depression if that financial bubble pops due to panic.

      So we really can’t whip our dick out and pound XI over the head.

                "Dumber than dirt" was too kind if you think Assad would allow for a "two-system idea" with a group of people who are still an off-shoot of the PKK.

                      Assad would have allowed for whatever to save his weak-piss skin. In any case, you said the Kurds were trying to take territory, that wasn't the plan...

                      They weren't an "offshoot of the PKK" either. Google better turd boy!..
