Regardless of any economic model I suspect the risk factor between supply disruptions from the fields and along any pipeline route would dominate the decision process. For instance how would you feel if 5 years ago you had invested $X BILLIONS into a pipeline that today runs through ISIS controlled territory?

Iran has stated interest in the Trans Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP, currently building) as an investor with possible sign-up as a user later. Turkey might be more interested in having them in, now that Russia is acting less friendly (with good reason). That would bypass the Russian system altogether. TANAP is to bring NG coming from Azerbaijan through Turkey to the border with the EU.
Turkey may be becoming a planning target for all that LNG the US is to begin exporting, I believe next month. If we have the NG.
“Peace with Honor” was President Nixon’s anodyne phrase for futzing around as long as possible in Vietnam to conceal the reality that the US military was getting its ass kicked by what we had initially thought was a 98-pound weakling of a Third World country. That was a half-century ago and I remember it now at age 106 thanks to my diet of kale and pepperoni sticks. Not ironically, the long struggle finally ended a few years after Nixon quit the scene, with the last straggling American evacuees waiting desperately for helicopter airlifts off the US embassy roof. And now, of course, Vietnam is a tourism hot-spot. And so just the other day, the latest POTUS declared (in his usual way) that “we’ll be coming out of Syria, like, very soon.

two for two on the tinfoil clickbait front. Some things never change here on peakoil.com.
CIA funds finding their way to ISIS was an accident, not by design. The problem is that rebel groups in the middle east tend to be led by extremists so it's very hard to bolster moderate voices if they are the minority component (and shrinking).
