i think it is important to understand that though the kgb no longer exists, russia continues to monitor its enemies[usa, nato, the eec].

and i think we should be able to agree that russia has its intell assets in the countries that russia sees as a continuation of the “great game ” alliances.

so, russia was more than aware of the conspiracy that the usa and nato hatched to provoke a confrontation[coup] in the ukraine when yanukovich spurned eu overtures that would have allowed the imf to further rape the ukraine economically. this is a history that is all too conveniently overlooked by the defenders of nato[eu].

russia understood the motives behind the coup. and the fsb furnished him detailed intell analyses of the machinations of the “great gamesters”.

and i would say that putin has played his hand very adroitly. he knows that all the nato countries, the ukraine junta, have no hand beyond a “bluffing” one.

which is ok for the sheep that read the nato controlled press. the sheep that still haven’t recognized the fact that their fascist governments lie to them all the time[i.e., you tell me when any nato state has ever told the truth].

putin understands the “great game”.

the foundation of that game is the usd[and collaterally the euro].

so, putin, and his new allies, have decided to establish a new world unshackled from the usd, the euro.

he understands that “sanctions” are tantamount to “acts of war”. “acts of war” that the nato fellatrice press refuses to identify as “acts of war”.

so, putin and his fellow insurgents to the idea of dollar, ecu imperaialism, have taken up the arms that are available to them. hydrocarbons, agriculture, precious metal[palladium, gold] mining.

and russia has not been slacking in its understanding of the nato conspiracy to continue pursuing the “great game”. when russia and china announced this new pipeline, i wondered how russia was going to acquire the prime movers and compressors to move the methane. after all, that market is controlled by the nato countries. and sanctions would have arrested russia’s acquisition of those turbine compressors.

you might want to recognize that russia/china thought about this pipeline a long time ago. perhaps even before western intell caught on.

russia has prepared to build its own turbine compressors/gensets. which it will be selling into the dollar dissatisfied world[see turkey’s recent acquisition of these turbines].

it is an economic war between nato and russia. and russia has prepared better than the nato organization.

i think that no nato country has noticed this turbine project of russia. i think that they continued to think that they held the russians by the yinyang because russia would need nato turbines to drive any methane transmission. no nato country will be selling turbines to gazprom or any chinese entity ever again.

one thing that surprises me is that no one mentions the NATIONAL RECONNAISSANCE OFFICE.

this is the entity that manages us/nato satellites. i can assure you that the NRO was monitoring the ukraine. and that the resolution of their satelites is less than a centimeter.

the NRO has pix of mh370 and mh17. and everything happening on the ground.

in real time. at a high resolution.

if you had subscribed to aviation week & space technology you could have seen such pix of the russian invasion of afghanistan.

those pix are probative. how is it that no one demands those? in fact, it occurs to me that everyone in the nato/usa is running away from that evidence.

do they need a war that desperately?
