True, not that much. On the other hand there are numerous pipelines in Ukraine, feeding Europe with Russian oil and gas.

I agree with you. Geopolotics often is based on economics. Gasaprom is driving the Russian position. If we had a true representative in the WH, we would be excellerating the CNG conversion of the refinery in Philadelphia, and pipelines for Marcella Gas in Pennsylvania. Secondly, we would be supporting and defending the Israel and Cyprus gas developement.

This alone would benefit both the US and Europe by undercutting Gazaprom rates by at least 50%. I always first follow the money before nationalism. Russia will not go easy when the primary source of foreign exchange is disrupted.

Our representative in the White House is representing his fellow moslems in their push to build a competing pipeline to feed Europe. Gazprom is making money and the Moslems want to secure new cash-flows by putting in a pipeline. Russia sees USA hand in hand with the Moslem Brotherhood. We blew up Libya, created an Arab Spring in Egypt and have billions of dollars funneled to Ukraine for democritization. Read about Open Society Foundations OWNED BY SOROS. A non paranoid observer would view this not as east vs west but as Christianity vs moselms. Russia is going through a deep religious revival with evangelicals as the wild card.

Great post. While the left its EU and the commie ruskies fight it out for dominance over UK. If we had half a brain we could win both those wars simply by embracing capitalism and spurring on cheaper prices which always win any war.
