This could be as simple as a launching pad to control Iranian oil AGAIN. With so many of the worlds easy to pump fields going unprofitable, due to salt water separation costs this makes sense.

In a similar vein, has anyone noticed how much Biden is trying to egg on Iran and build a case against Iran in the mainstream media (and with the bombings of Yemen) ("Iran backed Hamas"; "Iran backed Houthis"; "Iran backed Hezbollah", etc. etc.)? The mainstream press never says "U.S. backed Israel." Much as was done to encircled Russia to start the proxy war with the Ukraine (whose oil we/Exon Mobil/Chevron etc. now own! There are huge stakes for the U.S., Britain, Germany, France, the Military/Industrial/Oil Conglomerate Complex involved. The Gaza oil fields are small stakes and look what the U.S./Israel/Samething are doing!!!

I think if this was a profitable oil/gas field, a number of Co.s would have stolen the fields years ago. Profitable is the question. If Oil where to hit 150$barrel we would see every postage stamp field being pumped. I assume the war on Russia is purely about controlling the oil/gas fields now that the North Sea is in rapid decline. The clue is the amount of water injection over time. Water injecting increases the pressure to pump however risks the collapse of the head. The water flips the oil in the reservoir and destroys pumping. I wrote a story years ago about resource depletion all the rage a decade ago, Dirty Dozen to Mars ha. Most of those temporary fixes of fracking are failing especially at less then 80$barrel. End Stage Capitalism demands cheap energy, Fission and Fusion have been championed since I was a little kid. They are not cheap. Solar was also an interesting diversion from reality too. Just think a solar panel the size of the u.s. South West to replace the electrical power we currently use, that includes night/weather/dust and degrading efficiency. I am assuming this blood lust is more about energy than, let me pause to laugh, democracy hahahahahahaha. Even Vietnam was about offshore oil/gas possibilities. What is really strange, we in the u.s. have spent roughly 22 Trillion on military over the decades and Yemen is kicking sand in our collective faces. I love the people of Yemen, thank you friends for saving the world. I know that sounds hyperbolic but, when the bully wins shit happens. Free Palestine and free the world
