Tensions Escalate As Syria Pipeline Destroyed - Video

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Just when you hoped the worst was over with Draghi's market-disappointing news this morning, things just got a lot more real in the Middle-East. State media is reporting that armed terrorists blew up an oil pipeline west of the flashpoint Syrian city of Homs. In an interesting twist, an anti-regime group said the government was behind the blast. Nonetheless Fox Houston is noting that the explosion is the third reported attack on energy infrastructure since the outbreak of the pro-reform protest movement in mid-March. Interestingly oil prices (along with all other commodities) continue to plunge on USD strength and liquidations (from European upsets) but we suspect that all it would take now is for a splinter Turkish group to take responsibility for the blast and this drop will promptly reverse.

 

and video of the devastation:

 

Got drones?

Victims of U.S. IMPERIALISM:

Adolph Hitler
Hideki Tojo
Benito Mussolini
Manuel Noriega
Saddam Hussein
Muammar Gaddafi

Fortunately anti-American heros like Vladimir Putin, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Bashar al-Assad and Hassan Nasrallah stand ready to turn the tide against American/Israeli Imperialism/Zionism and make the world safe for tyrannical theocracy.

Careful what you wish for SCHMUCKS!!!

*Implying the way for Hitler's rise wasn't paved by Western Oppression imposed by the Treaty of Versailles

*Implying Japan wasn't forced to carry out a campain of Imperial expansion because the US cut off its oil supply.

*Implying it was America that took out Mussolini

*Implying that Noriega wasn't installed by the CIA

*Implying that Hussein wasn't installed by the CIA

*Implying that Gaddafi wasn't the West's best friendtwo months before the Arab spring opened an opportunity for Europe to conduct some imperial resource grabs of its own.

Nigga you dumb.

CIA never doesn't not instigate.  And shouldn't oil be nearing $120 already? Who's instigating that?

As well deaths of non-military, there have been a lot of military personnel have died since all this crap started earlier in the year so I am inclined to think it was armed terrorists.

I just read an article wherein state dept spokesman john toner said assad is just a "tool" and wields no real power.

I found that funny coming from an American govt official...

I wish I could have been there just so I could brightly observe "well, you would know john considering you work for the biggest tool of them all".

pot, meet kettle and all that.

December 24th is the dark of the moon. And those objects in the sky over the ME will not be Santa and his Reindeer. Smoke? You want smoke? Keep an eye on the Saudi oil terminals after Israel strikes Iran to celebrate Xmas. Oil down a bit after this pipeline is blown? Think - short dated calls on WTI at 20% above current spot. Go ahead - grab yourself a bargain.

Same thing happened in Iraq during the occupation. Never drove prices up. I guess it takes only a short time to put it out, clean it up and weld new pipe. Not a big deal till attacks take place with frequency needed to keep a line shut for a significant period.

Anti government forces most likely. I think Syria's leader is from a tribal minortiy that holds the majority under it's thumb.  Another Libya is possible, I am sure that is what the CIA is working on. BUT, do we get a more Islamist government afterwards, Egypt and Libya are both now facing more Islamist pressure. That is why the US is so pro Egyptian military.

If Syria goes down, we might not like what rises up.

An oil pipeline exploded, they didn't bring another one online.

Why in the fuck with less crude pumping would oil get cheaper?

Think about it...

Hope a good movie comes out depicting CIA involvement and it stars Matt Damon and directed by the dude who did Green zone.

Green zone would have been a good movie, if it wasn't for the overall plot of looking for WMDs as a pretense for war.  Becasue of that, it was like trying to watch a Micheal Moore movie 10 times in a row.
