The reason for destabilizing the Ukraine was to get the Europeans to switch from Russian natural gas and oil (which flows through the Ukraine to Europe) to USA natural gas and oil. It's worth a world war.
The nihilists do not want the XL pipeline, and the politicians are all holding out for bigger bribes, slowing down the pipeline approval. When there is enough money to pay everyone off, the deal will go through. The pro-pipeline people are putting advertisements in heavy rotation to tell you what to think... here is an example...
How slick can you get?
Note Canadians advocating the pipeline. Not USA. Who would ever suspect Canadians of perfidy?
The salesman addresses the question of oil to China? Straw man. The question is oil to Europe, where this is already earmarked.
Why ship, he asks, cheaper Canadian oil to overseas, import higher priced oil from Middle East? Why indeed! Well, we have been doing it for some 40 years with Alaska North Slope oil exported to the far east while we import from the middle east. There are two reasons:
1. Oil is a geopolitical tool. We ship in patterns that benefit us.
2. When oil moves around the payments can be tax-exempted and profits laundered.
And he stresses shipping Canadian oil to USA refiners in Gulf states, proving good for USA. Um... you mean refineries so old they blow up? Why not build new refineries in Canada if the oil is for USA? No, milk every dime out of the refining of the crude in dangerous refineries at the Guld ports where it can be shipped to Europe.
If there were good arguments for building the pipeline, they would make those arguments. If they make bad arguments, then there is reason to be suspicious.
