A Mediterranean Battlefield - Syria

[Michael Barwell]

RT reckons ISIL's income at $80m/month; of which, oil accounts for c.45%, making c.$35m/month; @ c.$30/barrel, that's 1,166,666 barrels/month being shifted, most of which seems to go to Turkey. All these trucks/'oil tankers' that're being hit, don't seem to be oil trucks per se, but trucks carrying barrels, meaning a much greater physical volume of merchandise being shifted by road, for the last x-number of months/years, regardless of the absolutely massive truck parks. Obviously all this materiel and movement has been well & truely on the eyes-in-the-skies radar for all this time, but it's only since the Russkis started attriting it that anyone's noticed it's there, so to speak.

I just don't understand this shit; the 'west' (-loosely), is at war with the greatest threat to civilization since Adolf Hitler hisselfsbollock, and yet a blind eye's been turned to industrial scale oil processing/shifting/$recupement. Every sodding time I turn-on the news, there's some ISIL fuckwittery afoot, inclining me to be very afraid and allow the Gestapo to rule my life - for my own good.

And another thing, all those A-10's using all that depleted uranium...
