New Eastern bloc will send Caspian oil to West, bypassing Russia, papers say
Russian news media reported yesterday that Ukraine was determined to build a new pro-Western economic bloc that would speed Caspian oil to the West and spell the end of a Moscow-led bloc comprising Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine. The reports were denied by Ukraine. Talks that took place on the weekend between the leaders of Georgia, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine could be expected to lead to a the creation of a Western-oriented "Community of Democratic Choice," Russian newspapers said. This new axis was aimed at creating a "corridor by which Caspian oil will flood into Europe," bypassing Russia, Gazeta said.
A pro western Pan-Slavic entity which excludes Russia should be created. Russia is dying anyway.
I don't know about RusIvan, but personally I think that Russia and the neighborhood (Ukraine, Poland, etc.) should not be entangled with each other over oil and gas.
Let Russia have the ability to deliver through multiple routes its energy to whoever pays the proper price and let Poland, Ukraine and other heavy dependents on Russian Energy sources have the diverse supplies of this energy (including outside of Russia) so nobody is holding all the cards and energy deliveries and prices are dictated strictly by market conditions and needs--not threatened by Kremlin whims or political preferences.
Than everybody will be happy (I hope) -:))))
Let's diversify energy delivery routes !!!
P.S. US needs too to end its entangelement with Saudi Arabia. No more support to Islamic Terror chief sponsors.
thank you all
"Is this to mean that the spectrum of the medieval Commonwealth returns?! "
I doubt that it's possible to resurrect something that is gone centuries ago in the modern era. You can't step twice into the same river. Everybody will have good neighborly relations--that's it.
Great !
The sooner that the Caspian Basin is brought on line, the better for all concerned.
Who will be financing and constructing the pipelines?
Is the political situation in Georgia stable enough to permit construction at this time?
Go baby, go baby go!
Now you know why Putin and his Ukrainian bitches tried to murder Yuschenko.
Once a communist, always a communist.
Don't worry, in under two years the new gas line by passing Poland and heading to Germany will be ready. You will no longer have to have any Russian gas pass over your land. You'll be free from what you hate. Of course your coffers will be empty and your homes cold, but its a small price to pay to feed your black hatred. Don't you agree?
I admire your ability to continue to try to reason with people like vox_PL and his ilk, even when all you get back is pure hatred, but allas my friend, that's all there is. They hate you, they hate you with every evil atom in their hate filled souls, no less then the Arab hates the Jew (which is interesting since Arab and Jews are of the same race, semites, rather similiar don't you agree?) and no matter what you say or do, short of hating or killing your own or even better just dieing off, nothing will make them respect or like you.
What a nice photo of a pair of leftist socialists. How fitting. What's your unemployment rate again (18.9%)? I guess when you're to busy filled with hatred, you have no time to make jobs.
That Georgian man is simply the best looking of the lot, hands down.
Georgia has lots of jobs right now, but they mostly seem to have been created by other countries.
Two interesting facts:
1)1 mln Georgian citizens work in Russia
2)The Georgian government is (or at least was) on Soros's payroll. They receive the wages from him, not from the tax money.
