A unique opportunity for Greece

... 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. http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/12/fresh-smart-moves-by-putin-in.html 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. http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/12/russias-moves-to-decouple-economy-from.html
