To me it has always felt like it is our Allies dependency on Persian oil that we are protecting.
agreed. We are fighting in Syria for Saudi Arabia right now. So they can get that pipeline to Europe. And the Russians want it.... If Assad stays in power the Russians get it .... If the MB takes over then the Saudi's get the pipeline.
I am all for freezing Saudi Arabia out. They are dangerous and why we let them send whoever here is beyond me.
