Blood and Oil – The Middle East in World War I exposed Western greed and political intrigue laying the foundation for wars, coups, revolts, oppressive dictators and military interventions in today’s Middle East. Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, modern Turkey and other hot spots are born as the British and French divide the “fruits of victory” in World War I.

Russian Federtion and China need to protect OIL reserves of IRAN and Central Asian states it is in their Backyard …
NATO is dirty imperialist army … created to bomb and destroy whoever oppose USA …
CCCP should have attacked USA in 1988 and cleanse the world from SCUM
@diablo8718 You must be a paranoid Muslim. USA is doing it for itself, USA doesn’t care about Israel as much as you people fear!
@dex1142 i agree that the Bill of Rights allows us to express our opinion, but no necessarily to control our government. That is why we have elections. Also, even if the Bill of Rights allowed us to “force the government to obey us”, do you really think it is smart to put a huge, both domestically and internationally, government into the hands of the common American when the average man is so poorly educated? An example would be your statement of “Washington’s Imperial reign”.
Unfortunately not true! Unlike other countries, we have the the Bill of Rights which allows us to force our govenment to obey our wishes; preferrably through peaceful means, but violently if all else fails. Our apathy allows this to happen!! The greatest victory in the fight against terror will be the stopping of Washington’s Imperial reign!
Did you know the Shah in Iran was allready replaced long before 1953?
During WW2 Persia (Iran) refused to allow transports and troops from Britian and Russia to pass trough to fight against Germany.
They had good relations with Germany and wanted to remain neutral.
However in august 1941 Persia was inavaded by both Britian and Russia and the Shah was replaced by his son who was put in place to play as a puppet to both the western allies and Russia untill the revolution in 1979.
I know and that’s really tragic. So much for the objectivity by the Russian news-agents
I think the video also doesnt talk about the fact that our US government overthrew a democratic regime in Iran in 1953. WE overthrew a democratic regime and placed the Shah in Iran just for oil. I know its shocking but find it out yourself.
well for one thing what he says around 11
if saudi family shaped US foreign policy then how come palestine doesnt have a country. Israel shaped American policy in middleast.
@shailendersain its cause they were said they wont make any problems about the war if they get a major contract.
Russia also just signed a major oil deal in Iraq.
Thanks so much, to my friend, Iknowitalready.
He had sent me this vid, among others, which make transparent, and alert us to focus on the most challenging questions, of our time.

Iraq was also for Turkey ..since the Dam projects in Turkey are going to basicly turn the Euphrates in Iraq to a stream sure israel is getting most of this water for weapons ..but Turkey is also getting weapons ..so its benefiting as well. Geo-Politics time after time shows Israel as a weapons provider in return to land and water rights. farms and water in africa under Israeli Lease ..or where ever. it is a world wide greed for the Currency Jews produce that drives most Geo Political problems.
Definetly more like this one.
You can’t find anything like this in the “mainstream media”
RT kicks ass.
CIA shill!
Shills like you are Nazis.
do not entirely agree, we had so far achieved nothing in Iraq but wasted trillions of dollars, we have set up the Shiites in Iraq as a future proxy for the Iranian government, we are not winning in Afghanistan, lets face the facts, our foreign policy of intervention has screwed our economy, the oligarchies are running scared and inflating monetary, we have no absolute control over the middle east either, we still have to pay for Saudi Oil, and exposed the limitations of our military endeavor.
Putin did the right thing in getting rid of the oligarchies, he restored sovereignty to the Russian people, i just wish Europe and the USA has the motivation to do so but alas money and greed, the holocaust industry and guilt complex is handicapping our weak and corrupted politicians ability to fight back, beware Barack Obama, he’s a wolf in sheep skin, designed to fool the world of the neocon Zionist real intentions.
please do not blame us normal folks who wants peace, it is not us who set the foreign policy of intervention, look at some of our candidates like Ron Paul for example. Our country was hijacked no doubt by the Jews, the ones who have zionist agenda on the basis of the holocaust and white men guilt, we allowed it to happened and now we are paying the price of insanity, the white men have been castigated for everything Jewish controlled media throw at us, do not allow the same to happen in Russia.
The Iraq war was about Israel. It was not about oil as much as the democrats would like you to think. Its the same old phony left/right paradigm. As long as the Iraqi oil made it to the market, it didn’t and doesn’t matter who pumps it Oil is sold on world markets, who pumps it doesn’t matter, HOW MUCH is pumped is what matters. The dems are just using the war for oil theory to hide the Israeli motive – as many Jews are democrats. It was the neocons war, and the motive was Israel.
Note the speech at 18:48 by Jimmy Carter. That marks openly the transition from a republic to an empire. Washington’s focus shifts from democracy to imperialism.
Maybe, or Russia may be just biding its time!
Because that power is based on debt. When that debt finishes off the economy, you’ll watch the tide change!
NATO should be abolished. Ron Paul was the only presidential candidate against it. McCain’s adviser was a lobbyist for Georgia, and Georgia was at fault for the conflict in 08. Obama is no better. However, the US economy is in serious trouble long term – the days of imperial bullying are nearing an end. US should get out of the affairs of European states and worry about improving the lives of its own citizens for a change. Eventually, the laws of economics will FORCE this, and soon.
Excellent as always. Good job RT.
Regarding Ukrain, it does not matter how many voters that American puppet has, it will all be fraud like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and many S.American countries. The Americans will just make their puppet win again and who can stop them when Europe is under the high influence of America.
Since Putin left(this is what I believe), Russia is losing more interest and power through out the world.
