Trups Muslim ban is an Putin/FSB oil price and market manipulation scheme in disguise

So what has Iraq, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, and Yemen in common ?

All of them, except Syria has huge untapped reserves of oil. Syrian territory on the other hand, could be used to deliver either Qatari or Iranian gas to Europe.

Most Americans have only heard about Somalia from the movie black hawk down or terror groups. But it’s a well hidden oil gem.
Somalia:

Exploration in Somalia began onshore in 1956. Following successes within the Yemeni Jurassic basins during the 1980s, a great deal of renewed interest was shown in the country. Tragically, the collapse of the government in 1991 ushered in a period where Somalia remained inaccessible to exploration companies for 25 years. During this time, the majority of Somalia’s legacy geological and geophysical data were lost or destroyed.

However, since the inauguration of the Federal Government of Somalia in 2012, the country has made significant advances towards political stability. As a small illustration of this progress, the installation of the country’s first ATM in Mogadishu in 2015 suggests that the country is finding stability and security and developing a new degree of civil society determined to bring peace, progress and foreign direct investment to the region.

Trumps move to ban “influx” from these selected Muslim countries, will, with the Russian stronghold in Syria, will prevent Qutar/Iranian gas to be exported to Europe, undermining Russian dominance.

It will also hinder exports from the Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Libya, and Yemen and make their markets access volatile.

Who’s to gain, Russia and Putin.

where the rubber is meeting the road on this issue. Syria has a Pipe line that Putin needs for his Oil and Gas. And all this region is about Oil. Trump is just in this for his personal gain. There was a story about Putin offering Trump a 19% interest in Rosenef Oil for help with Sanction removal.


As the press digs,maybe the World will get lucky and read about the true Story.

Seems to me it was TPM or AterNet. Someone posted this story in length a couple of weeks back.
