EIN News says, "Putin Launches New Gas Link to Western Europe Russia put the first natural gas into the undersea Nord Stream pipeline to Western Europe at a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, an AFP correspondent reported. (france24.com)".
Following World War II, the Soviet Union attempted to control Europe with military might. It was partially successful, through temporary control of Eastern Europe. If had no control over Western Europe.
Ronald Reagan forced the Soviet Union into military escalation, which eventually caused its fall through bankruptcy. That forced the military release of the Soviets from Eastern Europe.
Vladimir Putin has a new strategy. He's now starting control of Western Europe through supplies of natural gas, which are sorely needed by Western Europeans, because of their lack of petroleum resources.
Putin is on the right track. He recognizes that the demise of the Soviet Union was caused by an economic collapse. The Obama Administration and the United States Congress do not seem to understand this as a potential for US demise.
If the US continues on its present economic course, within five years it will be replaced by China and Russia as the leading controllers of world economy.
