Was the downing of the Russian Su-24 Erdogan’s “oil revenge” for Turkey’s losses from the destruction of oil smugglers’ truck fleet bombed by the Russian Air Force in Syria? Or maybe it is just the tip of a very big iceberg, F. William Engdahl asks.
American-German researcher, historian and strategic risk consultant F. William Engdahl notes that back in August 2015, he wrote about the Harvard-educated 35-year-old son of Turkish President Erdogan, Bilal Erdogan, who was involved “up to his eyeballs” in illicit oil smuggling from Syria and Iraq.
“That illegal oil finances the major activities of ISIS [ISIL] in Iraq and Syria, a point of which Russia’s Putin gently reminded US President Obama and others at the recent Antalya, Turkey G-20 meeting. Fourteen months of alleged US bombings of ISIS targets never once went after the oil chain from Mosul and other ISIS occupied sites through Turkey onto tankers owned by Bilal Erdogan’s tanker companies,” Engdahl narrates in his recent article for New Eastern Outlook.
