Lebaneseproud -- so how is Russia going to take and hold that territory? -- perhaps you remember their great and lasting victory in Afghanistan?

on a very closely related point -- do those images of a bare-chested Putin riding miniature ponies give you woodies, as they do for Trump and so many other wingbutt/bagnut/teabuggerer Teaflublicans?

mark my word -- your scenario is beyond ludicrous

Russia has had lustful eyes on Iran for a very long time and it wasn't for the oil, no leverage there anymore anyway. If Russia is willing and able to wipe out the bands of thugs that serve no sovereign flag, then more power to them but I wouldn't want them to grow deep roots in Iran.

Lebaneseproud, you disagree with the article's assumptions, eh .. lolol .. well, your assumptions/
predictions in your ..http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=117448520 ..
sit way out on a much longer limb, much more precariously than any of the assumptions in F6's
WaPo article .. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=117451440 .

For one, ISIS are on the decline. And that's before Russia's incursions have had any crucial impact. For two, ISIS
don't control nearly as much oil as they did at their peak. For three, Daesh do not have the oil income they once had.

Seriously, imo,your predictions, linked at the top, sound more like a Putin wet dream than any reality-based look at the situation.

Love this from your top linked to me

"When Russia gets that oil , remember you heard it from old Leb first and I will back to rub it in your face and remind you."

Here's what i suggest, old Leb. When Russia takes control of any major oil field in Iraq or Syria they don't have control of today, come back to me.

Don't leave it tooooo long, eh.

Edit PS. Did you know
