US Pledges Deal With Saudi's To Attack Syria If...

U.S. Pledges Secret Deal With Saudi's To Attack Syria If They Crush Oil Prices
By Kenneth Schortgen Jr - National Finance Examiner

There has been a lot of scuttlebutt in recent weeks over the United States involvement to take out the Islamic State, and to provide air and military support to Syrian insurgents fighting to take down the Assad regime.

However, after a year where Saudi Arabia felt stabbed in the back by the U.S. When their promises fell short in September of 2013, a new secret deal is emerging on Oct. 10 where America will supply manpower and resources at the Arab Kingdom's request in their religious and secular goal of the end of Syria, while at the same time the Saudi's will aid in the U.S.'s proxy war against Russia by dumping oil into the markets, and driving down prices in the hopes of destroying several nation's economies.

 Since the beginning of August, global oil prices have fallen from an average of $104 down to today's close of $85.52, with prices really accelerating downward since Monday and the beginning of Saudi Arabia's gambit.

    Two weeks ago, we revealed one part of the "Secret Deal" between the US and Saudi Arabia: namely what the US 'brought to the table' as part of its grand alliance strategy in the middle east, which proudly revealed Saudi Arabia to be "aligned" with the US against ISIS.

    What was not clear is what was the other part: what did the Saudis bring to the table, or said otherwise, how exactly it was that Saudi Arabia would compensate the US for bombing the Assad infrastructure until the hated Syrian leader was toppled, creating a power vacuum in his wake that would allow Syria, Qatar, Jordan and/or Turkey to divide the spoils of war as they saw fit.

    A glimpse of the answer was provided earlier in the article "The Oil Weapon: A New Way To Wage War", because at the end of the day it is always about oil, and leverage.

    The full answer comes courtesy of Anadolu Agency, which explains not only the big picture involving Saudi Arabia and its biggest asset, oil, but also the latest fracturing of OPEC at the behest of Saudi Arabia... - Zerohedge

America's use of oil as an economic weapon is not new, and has actually been used both by the U.S. Against the former Soviet Union in the 1980's, and by OPEC against America during the 1973 Oil Crisis.

 Lessons learned from both of these strategic events are being carried forward to today, especially in the ongoing proxy war with Russia, Iran, and China over dollar supremacy, and protection of the global reserve currency

One has to wonder however if the Saudi's are playing both sides of the fence, or if they are fully back in America's camp. It is believed a few months ago that Saudi Arabia was in the process of making a secret deal with Russia and China when a Saudi Prince was carjacked and sensitive documents were stolen during the crime.

These documents are believed to be directly tied to ongoing negotiations with the Eurasian powers, and it was shortly after their confiscation that the U.S. Began to take a much bigger look at ISIS and a return into Syria.

Economics and geo-politics go hand in hand, with monetary currencies and the currency of oil being the focal points of nearly every diplomatic and military conflict over the past 50 years.

 And while there appeared to be a serious schism last September between the two leaders over Syria, the dollar, and the petro-dollar system, a new secret deal made between the U.S. And Saudi Arabia appears to have healed all wounds, and brought them back in agreement towards the destruction of the Syrian regime, in exchange for the attempted collapse of the Rouble by depressing the global price of oil.
