My dad sent me this. Any truth to it?

"Europe uses a crazy amount of oil and Russia is their number one supplier, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are trying to get a pipeline to Syria to make some of that money Russia is making. Currently going through Syria is the only way to make a pipeline and Assad is blocking it which is why the US, allies with Qatar/SA, is trying to get rid of Assad. Literally the only reason, USA isn't backing the rebels because of some moral obligation/protecting civilians from the evil dictator or whatever you think the reason is. If America cared about foreign policy Bush wouldn't have gotten a second term and Obama wouldn't have been allowed to continue his disastrous foreign policy." -dad

Accurate? Does this belong in /sg/? Is it an obvious or major red-pill?

He's confusing oil and gas.

Your pops is a smart man. It's natural gas pipeline not oil but what he said was correct.

He texted me right after and corrected the oil part I just forgot to add it in when I copied and pasted.

your dad is redpilled

Your dad is completely correct and should apply for a job in the Trump administration.

He browses ZeroHedge constantly, I guess that's where he gets it. If this is true then what are the justifications for the US aiding the rebels? Is there any proof that Assad is killing off his own people? Didn't they say the same thing about Gaddafi and Saddam?

it's obvious for people that actually care for the conflict, but pretty redpilled for the typical dad.
Also he's pretty much right. There are some other factors, but the pipelines sure helped a lot.
