Introduction: Natural Gas and Shifting the Global Political Center of Gravity
This is the second article in this series and explains why it is in Putin’s best interest to adopt a “do nothing” strategy and delay any meetings with the Trump administration as long as possible and let the energy prices in Europe continue to soar and let their automotive industries continue to collapse.
The correlation of soaring energy costs and industrial collapse has created the conditions under which either the AfD rises to power in Germany and the Populist parties rise to power in the entire Danube River Valley and (a) rebuild Nordstream to save their industries, and then exit the Petrodollar, the EU and NATO in combination; or (b) if the globalists are successful in the USAID/NED and Western NGO funded color revolution protests that are occurring in these same Danube River Valley countries and manage to retain their grip on power, then Europe’s path towards deindustrialization and Third World country status will only hasten. Russia, China, and Iran will be fine with either outcome.
The logic of this rationale is simple, the Wolfowitz/RAND/Blinken strategy to cut off Germany and all of Central Europe from affordable natural gas via pipeline has been successful as Stuart Turley and I have been discussing on Energy News Beat since November of 2023. However, the main underlying objective of the Global War on Terror (GWOT) was to control both the petroleum fields and the pipeline routes to provide Europe with alternative affordable natural gas to replace Russian Natural Gas via pipeline. It is this aspect of the ‘Grand Chessboard” that has failed.
The summum bonum of the Wolfowitz strategy has been to prevent the Global Political Center of Gravity from shifting from a Washington-London alliance to some sort of a Berlin-Moscow-Beijing-Tokyo alliance across the axial ends of Eurasia based on overland oil and natural gas pipeline economic integration that avoids US Navy-controlled maritime chokepoints.
The irony is that the Wolfowitz strategy is creating the conditions under which their worst fear is becoming a possibility as Russia, China, and Iran have coordinated their overland logistical supply route counterstrategy with an increasing sense of urgency since the 2014 Euromaidan coup in Kyiv. Each one of these three countries realizes that the objective of the West is to control both the Caspian Sea region’s natural gas reserves and the pipeline routes to Europe going through Turkey.
Furthermore, since Russia did not collapse as the Globalists wished, and China is too strong, Western news media has concentrated on the manufacturing of consent to destroy the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) and foment a revolution among the Azeris, Kurds, and Baluch in Iran. The destabilization of Iran as the weakest link in the chain has become the priority.
Populist Parties in the Danube River Valley
Under the present conditions, the AfD in Germany and the populist governments in the Danube River Valley are gaining power and calling for a return to affordable Russian natural gas via pipeline which necessarily means the abandonment of the Petrodollar, EU, and NATO trilogy.
