It is a fact that the gas pipeline will open a source of revenue to Iran.

It is a fact that that source of revenue will defeat the Iranian economic sanctions.

It is fact that the US tried to block the Urengoy gas pipeline to Europe to deny the Russians a source of revenue.

It is a fact that the US has been sabotaging the gas pipeline deal.

It also a fact that during the Cold War the US propped undemocratic regimes and dictatorships that crushed populations that wanted democracy when these dictators helped the US strategy.

My conclusions are always derived from facts.

The US tried to avoid this outcome to the last minute by trying to persuade india:

Oct. 27th:

Under Secretary of Treasury for International Affairs David McCormick had stated: “With regard to the Iran pipeline issue … we are hopeful that India won’t move forward on this.”

With Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson currently on a visit to India, it is likely the issue would figure during high-level discussions.

Caucasus oil/gas show that hot spot Middle East moved a bit to the north. That because those energy sources are at the crossroads:

Europe: towards Turkey

India: Towards Pakistan

Western: Out through the Hormuz Straight

(China is taking its gas from Urengoy)

The three points: Turkey, Pakistan and Hormuz Straights are hot spots today.

Why PKK flare out (they came back from the dead!!) recently in Turkey?

Why the 'crisis' in Pakistan?

Why the Hormuz Straight potential war zone?

Answer: All because of the oil beyond the mountains out of my windows here.

For several times I posted the maps. I keep saying: go learn geopolitics. Learn how countries dominate those others by proxy...

Learn that the US is the hired gun used to enforce the foreign interests...

If one don't properly understand the big picture, one can't understand the energy business.
