military adventure in Syria. But why would the Arab Gulf states want to pay for the marauding invasion of Syria? . Arguably, Syria isn't a major producer of oil and gas. Syria had 2,500,000,000 barrels (400,000,000 m3) of petroleum reserves as of January 2010. So, the whole hullaballoo about Syria is definitely not about oil in the Syrian territory. As it turns out, many key energy transit routes to Europe run through Syria. Well, Qatar has spent billions of dollars supporting the rebel factions in Syria. As a result of these facts, Qatar wanted to build an underground natural gas pipeline from the country's North Field to Turkey, traversing Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria to Mediterranean and then to Europe. Instead, in the year 2010, along with Iran and Iraq, Syria proposed to build a 3,450 mile pipeline costing $10 billion to transport oil to Europe directly from the South Pars gas field traversing Syria. This pipeline, set to open in 2016 has an estimated capacity to pump 3. So, if the Assad government falls, Turkey could re-route the Nabucco pipeline to traverse through Syria. Saudi Arabia has been pressing Russia to discard the Syrian President in favor of a lucrative arms deal worth more than $15 billion and further investments in the country to boot. Not a bad deal, eh? But, to add in some perspective, Russia and Syria enjoy a rosy friendship. In 2005, Russia played a crucial role in springing up the Syrian economy writing-off about seventy percent of Syria's debt. Russia also has substantial investment in different sectors of the Syrian economy. There's also Tartus, a Syrian port in the Mediterranean which helps Russia as an official base for its ships and also as a point of delivery for weapons to the Syrian Government. Yet, the US entry in Syria would mean Russia losing its only military installation in the Middle-East, (not to mention the only Russian naval base outside the former soviet Union- history has changed, indeed) . One hope has been the pipeline, which would have helped Iran. Of course, US wouldn't want Iran to benefit in anyway, would it? Also US involvement in Syria would also mean direct loss for Russia. If Syria falls, Iran would lose one of its strongest allies, a Shiite Muslim nation at that. Recently, France has softened its stance on Iran to even a possible inclusion in Syrian peace talks. The bottom line is that western powers are interested to intervene in Syria solely for energy-related geopolitical reasons that have nothing to do with chemical weapons or democracy.
