After trying to create the New Iron Curtain all along the borders of the Russian Federation from Poland down to Ukraine, news is surfacing that the USA is also pressuring Bulgaria and Serbia to stop construction of the South Steam pipeline. It is already under construction and nearing completion.

The overall US ­ Obama plan has run into a roadblock in that both Czech Republic and Slovakia have told the USA and EU ‘NO WAY’ to having missiles, US or NATO troops or new military bases in their nations. The Cold War is over… except for those Russia-phobes in DC and some in UK and EU. The times have changed and such people need to either die of old age or retire and get the hell out of the way.

Even Ukraine is now seeing clearly that NATO in Ukraine will have them in major hot water with Russia.

Why is the US and EU pressuring Bulgaria and Serbia over the South Stream pipeline? It is owned and controlled by Russia.

The Nabucco pipeline was a USA ­ Soros plan and it is a dead pipeline plan.

Soros is also the main proponent behind that is named White Stream 1 that was to have run from Georgia through CRIMEA and into Ukraine to supply EU with natural gas. Now do you understand why they are hopping mad about Crimea?

If you can read a map and know where Crimea is, maybe you will better understand why that piece of the Grand Chessboard being taken by Russia has stirred up so much nonsense in Ukraine.

The current fiasco is somewhat akin to the movie “A Bridge Too Far” and one of the biggest mistakes the Allies made during World War II. However, the current intentional chaos and dissension is all about ‘A Pipeline Too Far’.

The USA failed to get its pipeline across Afghanistan, so yes, leave 10,000 troops there to protect it when it finally gets built.

The USA failed to back up Russia from the pipeline ROW in Georgia in the August 2008 fiasco in that nation.

They are pushing to stop the South Stream because their ‘planners’ now want to run a pipeline from Azerbaijan and Qatar into Europe from the South called TAP, for Trans-Adriatic Pipeline.

They did the feasibility study for this project in 2003, and in typical EU and US fashion have delayed talking much about it until they took their shot to get total control of Ukraine.

What they are not showing is the US lost most of the Caspian Basin due to their 9-11-2001 lies and their Failed Business Plan. There is to be another pipeline from Qatar up through Iraq and connect in Turkey so they have enough natural gas to make this project even worth thinking about. Azerbaijan cannot go head-to-head with the energy might of Russia, Rosneft and Gazprom.

A nation has to be pretty damned desperate to make the stretch that European natural gas is a US security concern:

I trust you folks in America still recognize a ‘temper tantrum’ when you see one.

I predict Poroshenko will offer some sort of modified EU-US plan that will make Ukraine closer to EU but not 100% onboard, sort of like Switzerland, Czech Republic, Denmark have done. Also, I think Poroshenko has figured out that NATO in Ukraine is sort of like that old saying down South: That dog won’t hunt!!
