Russia: BTC Pipeline is 'Dead'

I prefer a communist Russia. At least you know their position and Europe will have to wake up from their 20 year slumber.

Thanks! You and MarMema have been on top of this guy. To know this guy is to know Russian foreign policy.

[Shermy]

LOL, for sure.

Interesting to see how this BTC subject comes up that we here talked about long ago.

I think Putin overplayed his hand,

and I think the pipeline will be safe, and even grow,

because if the Ussr, I mean Russia,

Wants to pretend it has a possible re-organization of the USSR, this “CIS” stuff,

They are going to have to be very, very nice to these countries to entice them back to the status quo.

And assure no violence.

Important public figures have no fear of sounding stupid when they say they are surprised these other SSR’s didn’t support Russia’s actions.

These people’s arrogance and self-importance exceeds Obama’s.

Maybe.

[MarMema]

Joe was on it first....but I find it to be terrifying because I see the thread of spiritual delusion in it.

"The best way to calm the delusions of grandeur in the energy oligarchy is to stop needing their energy as soon as possible."

Yours is better, go for it.

“The world and countries in the region have seen that not NATO, but Russia is the only one who could secure the energy routes,”

I’m getting visions of Tony Saprano informing a business owner that their going to start coughing up some protection money or else something bad could happen.

Ay, wear the mask. Twas Russia and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe...

And if anyone thinks that an English minister's nonsense poem will affect Russia's ''let's control it ALL', policy...well, then .....

DO please, someone, send me the recipe for that particular preparation of Kool-Aid.

Thanks in advance!

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to offer Europe some energy security instead of only missiles? But we can't because we have to beg the Saudis for ours.

What is the cost of the Democrat "No Domestic Energy Policy?"

• No domestic drilling.
• No new refineries.
• No new nuke plants.
• No new dams for hydro-electric.
• No coal.
• No shale.
• Deplete the SPR.
• Let Iran get nukes.
• Let Iraq fall to Iranian domination.
• No Canadian tar sands oil.

All of that puts the U.S. in a position that war for oil or
complete economic collapse will be our only choices.
You can't frustrate every source of domestic energy
without consequences. Our enemies will blackmail us
to the extent that we are vulnerable to blackmail.

The Democrats are leading us into a real war for oil.
A war we won't have the energy to fight.

"Dugyn is a very, very evil and scary person. And way too powerful."

This is the first I've heard of him.
Thank you for bringing his name to our attention.

Evil and scary is apt.

Thank you two for being on this story like white on rice.
You are educating alot of people about Georgia...and Russia.

I had the strangest thought.
There are a lot of people on Free Republic who don't remember the Soviet Union.

I guess those would be the Russian apologists.

[SunkenCiv]

The Russian attack on Georgia is seen for what it is — a direct threat to what Stalinists refer to as US hegemony in the Middle East.

Thanks

However, it had too many characters when I tried to fit in the tagline box. So I changed “oligarchy” into “cartel” and dropped “as soon as possible” in order to squeeze it in.

“The best way to calm the delusions of grandeur in the energy cartel is to stop needing their energy.”

Et voila! My new tagline debuts!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks,...pinging others.

Call in T. Boone Pickens to build a new one.

He obviously has time and money to spare.

I would suggest it is not only in their interest but much to their liking. Google the terms "neo-eurasionism" or even just "eurasianism" for my logic. ...

The Rats Energy plan is laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

[MarMema]

It’s a thing I have, I just freak out on Dugyn and his geopolitical theories.
It bugs me - he promotes hating us because of our location.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Well...thought you would be interested...thanks for homing in on the Guy,...first I had heard of him.

[TigersEye]

Amen!
