Syrian war analysis was tosh 

Syrian war analysis was tosh 

Re: “US-Saudi coalition looting Syria for its oil”, Have Your Say, yesterday. 

Clara Holzer’s conspiracy theory informs us that “any research” exposes “another war of aggression” by an American-Saudi axis “to loot [Syria’s] natural resources, mainly oil”. 
Well, and as we all know, Syria has a superabundance of this resource and it’s therefore logical for an oil-starved Saudi Arabia to seize its neighbour’s critical economic commodity. Right. 
This is typical groundless tosh, further exemplified by highly speculative guesswork about Iraq and Libya that sets the tone for her missive.
This simplistic “analysis” also neglects to note the real dynamics playing out in the Syrian killing fields, which is exacerbated by the calumny of so-called fake news and “terrorists”, to shift the blame for premeditated mass murder onto chronically oppressed individuals and groups inspired by the now admittedly failed ‘Arab Spring’.
The facts, not the fiction, demonstrably show that we have an ongoing Shia-Sunni conflagration in the region that underlines the shifting dynamic of Middle East realpolitik, aided and abetted by Russian meddling. All of this has been firmly established by universally respected entities.
My suggestion is that in pursuit of this real research, Ms Holzer should shove that in her search engine and Google it.
