Don't forget Qatar has some of the largest gas reserves in the world, as does Iran...it seems that there is a major conflict of issues and a lot of bullying going on. The US continues to supply military equipment to support it's own back yard industries...because if it did not where would all those so called jobs go? How much profit do the US arms suppliers make from all this activity? If everyone stopped buying and selling weapons, perhaps things will get better. Whilst commercial interests are a priority over everything else it seems a vicious cycle will continue. Make Peace great again!
