176. Georgia over run by the FSU |
You Said:
Let me explain. Georgia has become an important satellite state for the United States. They have sent 2,000 troops to Iraq, surpassed only by America and Great Britain. A U.S. backed oil pipeline runs through Georgia, providing much needed oil to the West while bypassing Russia and Iran. The 1,100-mile pipeline carries more than 1 million barrels of crude per day. Once again the motive for our involvement is cheap oil.
It must be under stood that for what ever reasons the Former Soviet Union is in danger of reverting to it's Soviet Union power based economy. A new 5 year plan every 2 years yielding wealth and prosperity for all.
No Phone service beyond Russia and it's allied states. No global internet access, no "FED WIRE" from Germany France England United States Of America Switzerland . A spot on the Specially Designated Nationals List. reserved especially for them by Obama via executive order. Seizure of Russian assets in all EU and NATO countries to pay for Georgian rebuilding of infrastructure. All and all a really bad decade for Putin.
The simplest of strategies is being played out here. A few small pokes and the Soviet bear awakens with a vengeance to all it's former enemies looking to take a shot at them. Instant allies for the U. S. . When every country in Europe is afraid of the evil Putin then the United States Of America will step in as savior and hero, just by adding a name to the Specially Designated Nationals List list, RUSSIA.
They can keep their oil there will be no place to sell it in cash only transactions. And not one shot fired or one American service man put at risk. Looks good in theory but there is a lot of human suffering attached.
