Oil and money trump everything ultimately. It’s just a matter of time. Ethics don’t enter into the equation at all."<br /><br /> That's how it's been since early in the 20th century or even earlier. Maybe hidden in plain sight but certainly not a matter hidden from the public when people are sufficiently motivated to see it. Great Power(including our over rated UK) interference in the affairs of most countries in the wider middle east has been evident since First World War and continues apace. Much of the allegiance with dodgy theocratic/monarchist regimes is now driven by a fear that "if we don't get in there some other equally dodgy power will". Such thinking becomes even more embedded when other risks like the Ukraine crisis gets introduced into the equation. dafishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216920242825385976noreply@blogger.com
