Afghanistan “Pipelinestan” – yet another war over oil

Pipelinestan is a term used to define the “…istan” nations that the pipelines carrying gas and oil have to pass through.

Those who control the Mid-East-Central Asia oil and gas supplies control the world.

The U.S. went into Iraq for the Oil, with plans drawn up to go into Iraq well before 9/11 happened. In Iraq, we want a government to work with, so we can have our oil companies come in and control the production and distribution of the oil under the sands of Iraq.

Similarly, the purpose of the U.S. is in Afghanistan is not about raising Afghanistan from 188th place out of 189 of the lowest ranking nations of the world, or other reasons cited. We are there to keep a puppet government in place and things calm enough so a pipeline can be built through Afghanistan, across Baluchistan, to India and the Gulf of Oman from the rich oil fields of the Caspian Sea area.

Afghanistan is yet another war over oil.
