To secure the supply of NG to China - Georgia is paying the price

thanks to Glenn I think the riddle of Russian army invading Georgia is clear.

Further, today Merkel statements in Tbilisi made me wonder why all of a sudden she is mentioning Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan as potential partner of NATO

The answer to this is also clear now....... and is also clear the surprise statement by Merkel today in Tbilisi that Ukraine and Georgia will join NATO (in Bucharest Germany was opposed to the fast track not to anger the Russians)

In another vein I did not understand Merkel trip to Sochi to meet Russian President - now this is also clear - Germany is the biggest Gasprom client in the EU

What was clear to me that Nabucco NG pipeline may be history - well all the answers are in a link Glen found which is

globalresearch.ca .. and I asume facts mentioned in the article are true

Still another part of the riddle which remains unexplained is why the brutality of the Russian Army in Georgia? - does Gasprom have problem nudging Azerbaijan to sign into the deal?

It is amazing to me how EU is sleeping at the switch, and where their intelligence services are, and what are they doing.

The deal with Turkmenistan was in the works for many many months if not over a year and that is why the Nabucco pipeline was envisioned as an alternative.

Piping gas from Turkmenistan to China is much more expensive than to Europe and therefore Turkmenistan was sitting on the fence – invading Georgia and the lack of response from NATO / EU / US, forced Turkmenistan into an agreement they did not want to enter into.

Heads should roll not only in Russia but also in other places for such blunder
