United States to Build Transatlantic Pipeline

The Obama administration is considering plans to build a transatlantic oil pipeline in order to strengthen the NATO alliance and to reduce European dependence on Russian oil. An unnamed American official has revealed the strategic efforts of the United States to curb the prestige of Russia, bent of competing and eroding the American influence and interests on the European Continent.

We bring this exclusive story to NSC readers in a hurry, so that those who believe in Realpolitik, please read on, there is more for you.

In all seriousness, if there was such an oil pipeline in existence, the flow of oil would undoubtedly in the direction of the United States and away from Europe. The only oil the United States is famous for its ”snake oil” – but let us not forget that the United States is interested in everybody else’s oil.

When the Soviet Union broke up and the fear of communism sort of vanished, the U.S. had to invent new justification for occupying the European continent. There was no obvious common purpose and the European Union (EU) had to be convinced that its interests are still tied to the American-imperialist enterprise. The European eastward expansion and colonizing and the bombing of Yugoslavia under American direction – were meant to prove that point. The EU-NATO quickly moved to dismember Eastern Europe (of course internal traitors giving a helping hand - Editor) and put their own economic timetables and establish its banking and economic dominance. Millions of skilled and underpaid workers were added to this labour pool and new markets for the European Union products were created. This was of course good for NATO-EU members. But Europe still remained resource poor and if the United States was to remain useful, it had to satisfy their needs also.

USA as the world’s largest importer of oil, it could not supply oil to its European allies, but it could and does use its unparalleled military strength to steal the oil resources from other countries and supply them to its loyal allies-satellites. US obsession with this objective has dominated US polices ever since the demise of the USSR. It is also responsible for the recent wars in South America, or indirectly under their sponsorship. their sponsorship.

Much of the new oil resources were located in Soviet Central Asia states and were not easily accessible. Iran was not a politically suitable route for oil pipelines and Russia was to be avoided as a transit route. Even though Russia had oil and gas for export while the USA did not, Europe was urged to see America as its energy guarantor.

To achieve this dominance over the oil resources, the US had to crate and instigate wars in order to carve out its favorable political geography. Chechen war was supposed to force Russia out of the Caucasus, Georgia fell under American influence and the Azeri pipeline made a detour around Armenia to pass through Georgia and Turkey and terminate at Ceyham – jus to quench Israel’s thirst for oil.

It is now very clear that Yugoslavia was broken up, bombed and Serbia kicked out of her Kosovo region in order to create a safe pipeline route for the European Union. In order to siphoned out of Central Asia the oil and gas resources, it was necessary to invent the Taliban Threat, the Iraq’s Weapons of Mass Destruction and other NATO scenarios. The butchery of Iraq is now practically complete and the Americans are now perched on the world’s second largest reserves of oil.

While oil can easily be shipped by oil tankers, in the case of shipping gas, this is not economically feasible and direct pipelines are essential. It is out of present capitalist Russia has now become Europe’s indispensable supplier of natural gas. While the US can supply gas to Europe, it has used its influence of President Yushenko of Ukraine to sabotage these deliveries on several occasions in order to persuade the European countries that Russia is not as reliable supplier. Of course this is not true, but there is no other country that can fulfill Europe’s need for natural gas. The European countries know this and thus the US is becoming redundant in this process.

If former Yeltsin had been in power for another 5 years they might have achieved their ambition. Failing a major war, US are losing the control of post Soviet gas and oil resources. Russia is now building alternative gas pipeline routes; The North Stream under the Baltic Sea, and The Southern Stream, through the Black Sea – thus US is practically out of the picture.

At the moment the European countries have a symbiotic relationship with Russia, but the US has the military might to create bloodshed and thus change the present situation. This kind of behavior is in keeping with US imperialism and Russia has also her ambitions as a capitalist state – the profit scenario is the bottom line.

Obama’s administration is in conflict with Iran and trying to dismantle the logjam in this region – but that is practically an impossible task, since there is over 30 years of animosity against the USA. Sending another 17,000 US troops to Afghanistan (next door) will hardly be seen as a friendly gesture. The installation of missile bases into Poland and the Czech Republic against the will of the people is supposed to revive hatred and chauvinistic fear of Russia.

These problems could be solved if the Americans just picked up their military junk and just leave. The chances of this happening are nil.
