Energy War: US starting strangulation tactics against
Moscow
Written by Abdel Jabber

-"America wants to control all the exit and entry
routes that leads to China, Russia and Afghanistan
(which is a small part in their military game plan).
Russia and China are the real aims in the American new
century game plan."

In view of the recent Ukrainian ploy in joining the
Americans to attempt boycotting Russian gas
transportation to Europe, Moscow could study and
implement a new strategy and logistics for its gas
sale to its European consumers, experts said to
WorldFutures.info.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry confirmed on Thursday
Russian media reports that Kiev was planning to
involve the United States in modernizing its
Soviet-era gas pipeline network.

The Russian daily Izvestia reported Wednesday that
under a strategic partnership charter signed between
Ukraine and the United States, Washington would help
the ex-Soviet republic modernize its worn-out gas
pipelines

On January 15, Ukraine had again blocked Russian gas
from flowing back into Europe, this after an agreement
that was reached hours before between the Russian
government and the Ukrainian authorities. The attempt
was seen by observers as a boycott of Russian gas for
several reasons but mainly after the US meddling in
the business.

Following this meddling, it was promptly announced
that the US will be involved in the pipeline repairs
and upgrading in Ukraine, thus putting Russian gas
transportation to Europe in jeopardy. It will be under
US control for as long as the repairs are not
completed, said observers.

"This is meant at creating tension between Russia and
Ukraine (Kiev has surely been guaranteed NATO help in
this matter) and such tensions are to make it uneasy
for Moscow and to attempt at disrupting the economic
performance of Russia overall," the observer said.

Russia exports more than 80 percent of its gas through
Ukraine's transportation system to Europe. "This means
the Russians must find solutions, rapid and long term
ones too, that would break the obvious 'monopoly' that
Ukraine is now having over Russia's gas exports,"

"If that is not done, Russia would be allowing the US
to play a vital economic card against its own
interest," he added.

"Sea routes, other border nations and direct
negotiations between Russia and EU member states could
solve the problem. The issue is the Europeans are in
great need of Russian gas for their energy consumption
and they have no other options at the moment but to
depend largely on Moscow," he said.

He said the Americans were implementing what he called
the 'strangulation' strategy, which is a very long
term one and is targeted at 'suffocating' Russia's
economy out in order to cause a collapse of the great
Russian nation.

He told WorldFutures.info that the same
'strangulation' tactics were being used by the US to
attempt at countering the Taliban in Afghanistan and
the Chinese regime altogether.

"America wants to control all the exit and entry
routes that leads to China, Russia and Afghanistan
(which is a small part in their military game plan).
Russia and China are the real aims in the American new
century game plan," he said.

He also said that Russia was surely aware of such a
move since its Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was a
superb strategist but swift action was needed in order
'checkmate' Washington which is playing a very
dangerous game at the foot of Russia itself.

"The Russian bear should kick Washington hard and send
it off the Ukrainian lands by cutting off the gas
supply routes that lead to Ukraine," he concluded.
