Moscow (AFP) - Russia's Gazprom giant on Wednesday urged the European Union to link up to its planned energy pipeline to Turkey or lose the gas that now transits Ukraine. Gazprom chief Alexei Miller reminded the new European Commissioner for Energy Union, Maros Sefcovic that the South Stream project to deliver gas to Europe through Ukraine has been scrapped.

Hence, "the Turkish Stream is the only route along which 63 billion cubic metres of Russian gas can be supplied, which at present transit Ukraine. There are no other options," he said...

The Bible Predicts that that Russia in the last days will make one last push to control world events. The prophet Ezekiel, in Ezekiel 38-39, predicted 2500 years ago that the country to the extreme north of Israel, Magog, would lead a coalition invasion of Israel and Palestine. The coalition would be led by a strong ruler who Ezekiel called Gog (Putin is a good candidate with his 80% approval rating). Among the nations that Gog would muster are the following; Iran, Turkey, Trans-caucus States, Sudan, and Libya.

Scholars have debated for many years as to "why" Russia would be compelled to move on Israel. Natural Gas may be the answer. With oil prices at unprofitable levels for Russia, Gas is its only other major export. With Israel's new Gas field finds (largest in the world) in the Mediterranean (Tamar, Leviathan) Israel may start selling Gas to Europe. Ezekiel goes on to predict that this invasion will be disastrous for Russia and its coalition nations. G-d himself shall send earthquakes, pestilence, and other natural disasters causing all the coalition nations to fight each other until all are almost destroyed...

And the fit hits the shan.

Geopolitics is SUCH a messy subject. Not because nobody knows what is coming, but because the signs are always misread and the timing is invariably so bad that the outcome is much worse than it may have otherwise been.

Yeah, sometimes people do the right things, but almost always, it is for the wrong reasons, which just set up the next crisis somewhere down the road.

Russia refuses all attempts to make peace with Ukraine, which has even proffered the idea of allowing the occupied eastern areas to be autonomous districts.

Why would Ezekiel call him Gog if his name’s Putin?

Duh! he didn’t want to let Nostradamus know the truth. “Let him figure it out for him self, this is MY work product”, sez old Ezekiel.

Thanks for the ping. It’s becoming rather fascinating to watch not knowing exactly how it will be played out but knowing what to look for and what the outcome will be isn’t it?
