LET’S MAKE A DEAL!!!

The geopolitical strategy at play in the proxy resource wars between the east and west has shifted once again with the US strikes on Syria. The response by Russia and China over this unilateral move by America will likely be very telling of the larger strategy at play here.
So far the response has been muted with only statements of slight disgruntlement, such as Russia stating that the US strikes violate Syria’s sovereignty.
The arrival of the Chinese naval ship into an Iranian port a few days ago very well could have been pre-positioning in preparation of the US strikes. This would mean that China knew the strikes were going to happen which in turn means a geopolitical business deal was arranged between them and America.
On the Russian front we have Ukraine forces moving artillery back from the front lines and the present truce is holding. ExxonMobile and Rosneft continue on their planned artic oil ventures.
Also announced over the last 24 hours is the Bank of China Hong Kong Asset Management and Citigrouphave created a joint venture to expand high yield bond funds in Europe.
And on top of all this we have mass graves being discovered in Ukrainian government held territory, apparently exposing the atrocities of American backed Ukrainian forces.
As reported in the post The Devil’s Tears, the US is angling to retain control of both Europe and the Middle East, but will likely sacrifice one for the other if need be before the transition to the multilateral financial system takes place.
Given the resource wealth in the Middle East it is becoming more and more probable that the American interests will abandon their position over Europe and make the trade for the Middle East.
