Russia takes control of Turkmen (world?) gas
By M K Bhadrakumar

From the details coming out of Ashgabat in Turkmenistan and Moscow over the weekend, it is apparent that the great game over Caspian energy has taken a dramatic turn. In the geopolitics of energy security, nothing like this has happened before. The United States has suffered a huge defeat in the race for Caspian gas. The question now is how much longer Washington could afford to keep Iran out of the energy market.

Gazprom, Russia's energy leviathan, signed two major agreements in Ashgabat on Friday outlining a new scheme for purchase of Turkmen gas. The first one elaborates the price formation principles that will be guiding the Russian gas purchase from Turkmenistan during the next 20-year period.

I doubt this will affect anything.

Russia being an imperial power securing resources around the world, *Gasp!* how completely expected!

 

[Praxius]

Does explain a motive why the US is being so hard ass on Iran about their desire for energy...... they're losing money and bad, nobody wants or needs them anymore.... supply and demand through a corrupt deal has hit the wall. Now they're going through panic and trying to mark Iran as an axis of evil trying to nuke us all, when they've been only doing what their contract in which they signed allows them to do.

Russia with the Gas? Sure, sounds like a good idea.... I need a change from corrupt powers, and there's always a two year span of decent times before the new corrupt power starts to slip......

Russia never stopped being a corrupt imperialist power. They just ran into some financial troubles. They do that every now and then.

Times are changeing faster than we can appreciate, the old war spring is being wound really tight this time. Soon the capitalist pig-dogs and the banking scum will unleash thier final solution, this is the last chance for them ,socialism is on the march, we will finally be liberated.

Oh now Stretch don't be botherin Mr Zzarchov with the inconvienient facts.:smile:

 

[Zzarchov]

How is that an inconvenient fact? The US has had several very well document imperial drives, against the Indigineous tribes (to "win" the west), against Mexico, Spain, its half hearted attempt at Africa (Liberia), its involvement in splitting up China.

But apparently you can't believe that actual Empires, might have engaged in Imperial practices. Nor that when that empire has in turn been run by strongmen who have openly enslaved other nations (and still do move into their neighbours territory), and pass such great laws as "Immigrants aren't allowed to work where people can see them" might be bad people.

I kinda like it when other outfits thumb their noses at the big American oil companies. The US seems to have an unwritten policy that they should be able to share everyone else's goodies for cheap and charge premium prices for their own goods. Also to help everyone else use up their resources and keep their own for themselves. Above all, the love of gold is what drives them, even at their own expense sometimes. It's the bottom line. The ends justify the means. Like a selfish little kid in a sandbox. And it seems as if it takes very seriously that "in God We Trust" being printed or stamped on their money is all they need to step on other peoples and still be on the high moral ground.
Sorry for the rant. lol I am not much of a nationalist and more of a humanist. And I don't think any nation is any better than another in every aspect. Much like I don't think any human is any better than any other in every aspect.
Anyway, good for Russia.

Stay tuned Cold War II.

Maybe. That'd give the two another chance to show the rest of us how foolish they can be.

U.S. is on brink of survival crisis, according to Moscow


Global Research, July 29, 2008
Inferfax:

MOSCOW. July 29 (Interfax) - Moscow thinks that the United States could face a serious domestic crisis in the near future.
"The U.S. is on the brink of a mass crisis of surviving," a source with the Russian Foreign Ministry told journalists on Tuesday.
"The U.S. is on the track of drastic and painful changes," he said. "At first, they have to learn to live within their means," the diplomat added. Speaking about relations between Moscow and Washington, the source said that less interdependency in Russian-U.S. relations would be useful.
"We can in the future reach the moment when we will be able to stop discussing only the issues the U.S. side is interested in," he said.
"We are not enemies with the U.S., and unfortunately we are still not friends, but we are depending on each other less and less," the diplomat said.

You know Russia is Capitalist right? Its not socialist, its very ANTI Socialist. Its a right wing nationalist government with their own legion of "banking scum" and "capitalist pig dogs" who run the place and whom are in turn supported.
