Blame it on the Russians

[Jog On]

I had a madras curry last night, this morning there was a terrible smell in the bedroom. That'll be the Russians I told the missus.

Glad to see the thread back on track. There is no tissue paper left for drying up in clientco kitchen - I blame the Russians and insiste we bomb an oil rich Middle east country immediately!

A chemical weapon of sorts, I'm sure...

You are an ignorant twat. Syria doesn't have oil. Don't let that stop you ranting though.

Said with such conviction...

The petroleum industry in Syria forms a major part of the economy of Syria. According to the International Monetary Fund, oil sales for 2010 were projected to generate $3.2 billion for the Syrian government and account for 25.1% of the state's revenue.[1]

Syria is a relatively small oil producer, accounting for just 0.5 percent of the global production in 2010,[2][3] falling to less than 0.05% by 2016.[4] Although Syria is not a major oil exporter by Middle Eastern standards, oil is a major pillar of the economy.

Syria is the only significant crude oil producing country in the Eastern Mediterranean region, which includes Jordan, Lebanon, Israel and the Palestinian territories. According to the Oil and Gas Journal, Syria had 2,500,000,000 barrels (400,000,000 m3) of petroleum reserves as of 1 January 2010.[5] Syria's known oil reserves are mainly in the eastern part of the country in the Deir ez-Zor Governorate near its border with Iraq and along the Euphrates River; a number of smaller fields are located in the center of the country.[6] In 2010, Syria produced around 385,000 barrels (61,200 m3) per day of crude oil.[1][3] Oil production has stabilized after falling for a number of years, and is poised to turn around as new fields come on line. In 2008, Syria produced 5.3 billion cubic metres (1.9×1011 cu ft) of natural gas, and two years later in 2010, it increased production to 5.3 m3 (190 cu ft).[7] While much of its oil is exported to Europe, Syria's natural gas is used in reinjection for enhanced oil recovery and for domestic electricity generation.[5]

We'll worry about that when we do.

But he has a mince analogy that he'd like to share with Jog On...

OK, Syria doesn't have enough oil to export, in contrast to Iraq, which does. It's not exactly oil rich, in other words. You were alluding to "they've got oil, so let's 'ave it". It doesn't change the fact that you mostly talk a load of bollox.

I think i read Assad is blocking and oil pipeline across Syria from Qatar to supply Europe which would dent exports to EU from, wait for it, Russia with its leaky old infra...

Normally those with limited intellect try to hide that fact, and you've done quite well up to now. Jog Off now, will you...
