... as
Russia tries to upgrade its geopolitical influence in the East
Mediterranean
“Gazprom
CEO Alexei Miller has said that the South Stream gas pipeline has
been conclusively abolished and the Turkish Stream project has been
put on the agenda. Miller was quoted as saying that the EU had to
fast-track the construction of infrastructure for receiving gas
supplies through the Turkish Stream pipeline.”
“'Our
European partners have been informed about this and it is their job
to create the necessary gas infrastructure to the Greek and Turkish
borders,' he explained, according to reports of the BGNES news
agency. Asked to comment on the fate of the South Stream gas
pipeline, he told journalists that the project had been abolished and
that the Turkish Stream project was the only viable route for the
delivery of 63 billion cubic meters of gas a year.”
“'Gazprom
is building a strategy of its own based on the plan for the
establishment of an EU energy union,' Miller declared. He expressed
hopes that the establishment of an EU energy union would not
undermine the reliability and security of energy supplies. The CEO of
Gazprom argued that risks to the transit of gas via Ukraine still
existed.”

... the details of the new
agreement show that Russia probably wants to put Greece back in
the game, seeing that there are dramatic changes in the political
landscape not only in Greece, but also in Europe that could change
dramatically the geopolitical status. At the same time, Russia
sees an opportunity to play a key role, especially in the eastern
Mediterranean, therefore seeking agreements which increase the
stability in the region and minimise the possibility of various
conflicts.
As BRICS
are in the processes to decouple economies from the Western
neoliberal monetary monopoly, they could bring back the gold
standard as a base for their transactions, which is much more
steady than the paper money unstable financial bubbles. They are
ready, because they are emerging economies with billions of
potencial consumer tanks and can attract other countries too being
victims of the international financial mafia, like Argentina and
Greece.
