I suspect that Assad, with less and less control over his land, is bartering whatever oil reserves he has on hand with corporate Russia in exchange for weapons to turn things into a stalemate. Even worse is that these trades are handled probably by some of the finest minds of Russia, many of them may be hardline pro-communist ex-KGB or Spetznaz GRU who seek revenge on America and willingly do work for anyone aligned with their interests. Gazprom probably controls Kremlin instead of the other way round.

Plutocracy seemed to be the in thing amongst governments nowadays. Even the CCP in China are learning the ropes. We are going to live in a funny world in this century : corporate America controls the world's money supply, corporate Russia controls the world's gas supply, and corporate China controls the world's metal supplies.

So who wants to control the world's water supply?
Well that does make sense then.
So Russia has more in common with the US than I thought.
Thank you for that information SaintessHeart, I didn't know any of that.
Poor Russia, to be in the same kind of corporate noose that we here in the US are in makes me weep for the common people of the world.
It's absolutely crazy that so few people control so much whether they are in Russia, China, or the United States.
These Oligarchs need to go.
With the info you have provided Saintess, I think it is safe to guess at the possibility that the Syrian crisis is about far more than just political change for "Democracy."
I'm willing to bet the Military Industrial Complex is pushed for a war with Syria and Iran so that they can make a mint on the conflict.
The international banks would finance such a conflict, so I can see them making "gentlemen's agreements" with our politicians, and if the Russian Oil Barons stand to acquire new assets after the conflict then I would imagine they'd be on board as well.
After all, what's the lives of a few thousand "little people" when big business profits are at stake.

I suspected, but did not know, that Ithekro.
Thank you for clarifying.
So the Russian-Syrian treaty is probably just a new version of the old Soviet treaty they had.
That makes sense.

Tell me about it.
Did any of you see this insanity in Brazil!
