I can't see Trump starting a war with Syria, knowing the chain reaction it could cause and considering that Assad probably didn't do a tenth of what we are accusing him of. There must be something else at play.

It's the same proxy war shit that's been going on for the last 70 years...
Not quite. For the past several decades lefties have been at the wheel. This is the first time we are in charge.

Lefties like Dubya starting the Iraq war while all the pacifist right wingers were in the streets marching against it.  
It's not a matter of war or not war. War is a constant. It's a matter of motives, the politics that goes on along with it and competence.

The war in Syria is just a front. Russia is expanding their cheap LNG output via Gazprom to countries like China and Iran. Key pipelines run through parts of Syria. The U.S. doesn't like this expansion, as it directly competes with sales of LNG from the U.S., Qatar and Australia. The U.S. has levied sanctions against Russia in an attempt to thwart LNG construction contracts and slow down their expansion.  Needless to say, Russia is getting more and more irritated with U.S. foreign policy.

If you're at the other end of some pipelines the story might be a bit different.
Russia doesn't like pipelines from Qatar reaching eastern Europe and loosing its monopoly and its main trump card in negotiation with the EU. How is this for a theory???

But with a 23% increase 7d, I'm in such a good mood that all the mentioned above can stuck a damn pipe from where their gas is coming out Smiley))

Even if what you are saying is technically accurate to say that the very extreme of the low was $6,510.. and the current price is bounding up to $8,240, you are only at 21% at best, but I suppose if you look across all markets, you can likely stretch the percentages a couple more percent, but still even if I agree with your bullishness sentiment, I find it better to be a bit more conservative with these kinds of discussions, and 19% is about the maximum of reasonable, currently.... that would be from $6610 to $8180 ---- ish...

But I hear what you are saying, too... .. a week ago there was a lot of doom and gloom and sentiment was that the price was going down, and currently the sentiment seems to be up and the price pressure seems to be up..

I am not really going to rest until getting above $9k, and I will feel better to go above $10k.. just to feel better about the bottom, perhaps being "in", and that we are not being faked out too much by the manipulators, who are always present in BTClandia... .. at a certain point, the price goes up and the manipulators lose control over the UP situation, but from my non-whale vantage point, I don't think that we are quite to the loss of control situation, yet.
