Ukraine: Angle of Attack – Western influences are driving the media-push to frame Putin as the aggressor; fact is that Putin, despite the virile opposition’s distortions of history and fact, is maneuvering with great restraint and well within Russia’s established agreements/treaties with Ukraine. Where is this headed? Simple: E.U. deeply resents Russia’s control of their energy supplies while Western Banking & Financial Interests want control of Russian resources and Putin is clearly aware of this. How is this to be accomplished? First: Be aware that massive natural gas (LNG) supplies are located in Yemen; the connection of the pipeline (for Crude & LNG) thru Saudi Arabia and the one from the E.U. (which will also server Eastern Europe including former Soviet States) has been stalled because of the Russian-backed regime (Assad) in Syria. To remove the Syrian obstacle requires disabling Putin’s Russia; to disable Putin’s Russia requires an asymmetrical thrust which could include: Economic Pressure, Raiding Russia’s Revenue Source, Political Ostracisn (UN/NATO/IMF), fuel internal crisis/dissent by manipulating various Muslim-centric regions within the Russian Federation and these are just a few of the available options. Remember that when Gadhafi (Libya) went under Russia lost its agreement for a Mediterranean port/base which leaves them, tenuously, with the Port of Tartus (Syria). If Russia were to lose its Crimean Port/Base so goes it’s only year-round warm-water port. Now then, with all this known, what are Putin’s choices? I’ll lay them out for you by reference to State/Nation: China, N. Korea and Iran the first and last of which have extensive covert capacities not to mention Russia itself. This entire affair is going to, incrementally, ramp-up and now that you know the moving parts of the chess-board the trip-wire that will define our future history will be all the more conspicuous. CG
