Russia Has Energy Stranglehold Over Europe

Posted by Matt in December 7th, 2006

Marshall Goldman, a long-time student of Russia, says energy wealth and control over export pipelines have made Russia more powerful than at any time in its history. VOA’s Barry Wood reports the Harvard University professor spoke at a forum Thursday in Washington.

Professor Goldman told the Jamestown Foundation that Russia’s post-cold war power is built on its oil and gas resources. He said both eastern and western Europe have become dependent on Russia for oil and gas and that alternative supplies are not available. The recent boom in oil and gas prices, said Professor Goldman, has greatly boosted Russia’s economic and political clout.

“I end up arguing, and I’m putting my neck out, that Russia is more powerful now than it ever was during the czarist era or the Soviet era,” he noted. “In the Soviet era there was mutually assured destruction. They had nuclear weapons. We had nuclear weapons. We didn’t use them, because we were worried they would and vice versa. Here you don’t have that kind of restraint.”

Russia Close-Up: between Europe and Asia
South UralsRussia's Chelyabinsk Region, located on the border between Europe and Asia in the southern Ural Mountains, still has a long way to go to become a mainstream holiday spot. But thought it lacks a developed tourist infrastructure, the region offers plenty of maiden forests and wilderness of the real Russia.

9/11 New World Order plan: Europe, America vs Russia, China
From: teabowbraine. From: nibirushock. READ THIS! Lyndon LaRouche 'Tragedy & Hope' address in Washington D.C. on May 7, 2008. LaRouche talked about Obama getting the nomination and the evil mindset behind the "Lisbon Treaty" to create a British-European totalitarian superstate. The brilliant, but wicked and evil spirited occult New World Order masterplan is unfolding. The ultimate goal of globalization (or globalisation) through propaganda and rhetoric (War on Terror) and initiating chaos that will lead to depopulation (genocide). Under the energy of Venus and the Sun, the occult NWO masterplan must be realized by 2013. (that is, by Gregorian calendar date December 22, 2013 following another ritual circle around the Sun (starting in Solar Maximum year =2012) counting from December 22,...

Russia-EU relations
Europe seems to be beset by problems these days. On the one hand the Lisbon Treaty, designed to shape the future of the EU, failed after Irish voters rejected it in a referendum. On the other, there is still uncertainty about the future of relations between Russia and the EU. How will the two sides negotiate a new strategic partnership? And what do they need from each other? The guests to answer these questions are Charles Grant and Timofey Bordachyov.
