SO.. WHO IS THE TSAR REFERRING TO?

Everyone should understand the Russian viewpoint towards the Middle East is not based upon peace and tranquility.

That is not how they operate, or at least that is not how the Tsar keeps the price of oil inflated.. something the Russians need to rebuild their economy.

"Artificially aggravated"... ??????

The Saudis???? the US.... Space Aliens???

If anyone is the absolute master of " Artificially aggravating" some event.. it would be the Tsar's team!

Now, the problem with this statement  is the part about it ending very badly is absolutely  true.

Russian understands the Iranian Master Plan and how vital the Lebanese proxy support is.

If properly managed, the price of oil based on controlled Middle East tensions could keep oil prices far above where the Russians need them.

Conversely, a regional war could lead to a world wide economic crash that might last for years.

That is not how the Tsar plans to rebuild his Empire.

Controlled tension has been the plan for the Middle East for every country that makes a profit off of higher oil prices.. .yes the Saudis and the GCC are right in there with the Russians.

When Sergie Lavrov made the statement, "it could end very badly", he was most likely talking about the issue from the Russian perspective.

Oil at 115 dollars per barrel .... Good for the Tsar...

Oil at 45 dollars per barrel.. Bad for the Tsar and mad Tsar's are dangerous Tsars!
