Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
I am surprised at the West and current lack of strategic planning and analysis. Lets cut to the chase, there is no alternative to Russian oil period! First lets consider why Baku smells like oil, it’s not that they have so much oil but because the Caspian basin under and near baboonistan is fractured. This seeps the oil from under ground to the surface and hence the smell. While there is greater quantities of oil available extraction of this fragmented rock formations is nothing but trouble. Remember Mr. 5% was an Armenian, he left Baku long before it was dry and found other oil fields to play with. After Mr. 5% left and the Soviet Union came they did not bother with Baku either because of the stated reasons. Even with the might of the USSR and the resources that this giant entity could muster it still was a waste of time for Moscow as there are better fields to exploit. Given the post above and all the other points that I mentioned what is the rational of pissing off Moscow for daydreams? Why does the West insist on biting Moscow in the leg when in the end they are going to need the Russian oil.
There are other reasons to consider as well. For example many of the oil companies did not want to go to baboonistan, they preferred to deal with Iran and come to some kind of swap agreement. Where the oil extracted in the North of Iran would be swapped with oil fields in the south avoiding long and complex pipelines. Of course because of Je w pressure the West did not go along with a smart idea. Mind you this is not the politics talking but the oil companies in the business of extracting and making money off the stuff. Who better to come up with an oil extraction scheme then them? But wait it gets better, the Western governments funded the oil companies to make these retarded long, complex and expensive pipelines for a dream! The only reason the oil companies are even playing with this idea is because they are being subsidized. Let us also consider the socio political and economic considerations of building multi state pipelines. Not only do you have to maintain such a beast, the players all along this grand waste of a pipeline want a cut of the action. Making this even more expensive still.
Since Moscow has her own agenda and resources and the West insists on cutting Iran off there is only one other entity left that could do something about filling the empty pipeline from baboonistan. Hens we bring forth the only other player that can do anything about filling this pipeline. Kazakhstan, but since they are too smart they are not interested in playing this game. This leaves no options to an empty pipeline. Dealing with Moscow yields Kazakhstan one partner instead of 14! Why not Moscow? No matter who does what with what pipeline the fact of the matter is Moscow can pay more and still make more money with Kazakhstan then the West. The Kazaks have already made up their minds It is that simple, profit! There could be other routs for oil going East to China again Kazakhstan being smart would prefer to deal with direct partners instead of many and flaky partners that can’t even secure their borders against larger players. This also puts the Kazaks in a good strategic position, as both Moscow and China will guarantee security, but with all the oil wealth Kazaks can defend themselves just fine against regional rivals. In addition they don’t have to worry about two giants pressing on them making life worse, they can deal with the near threats without worrying about the larger players.
So we have retards in action from Turkey that thinks it is some big shot of the world, to Azeri baboons who think they are little kings of Persia. Lets not forget the idiot Georgians, we seen what happened to them and their stupid games. Even with the West backing them they not only got crushed by Moscow but also proved a point of embarrassment for the West. All this for a dream of a pipeline from Shangri-La.
So what to do with this expensive foolish expenditure of an empty pipeline? This raises other issues as well, raise the price of oil artificially through manipulation to make such pipelines profitable and you end up chocking the world economy. Lower it and everyone holding the bag of maintaining this beast will not make money. So who is the genius who came up with this grand plan?
In the end it seems Moscow can play a better game of chess! And so can the Armenians!
