*Russia-China-Iran


             Pipeline geopolitics
The inauguration of the Dauletabad-Sarakhs-Khangiran pipeline in early January connecting Iran’s northern Caspian region with Turkmenistan’s vast gas field may go unnoticed amid the Western media cacophony that it is “apocalypse now” for the Islamic regime in Tehran.
The event sends strong messages for regional security. Within the space of three weeks, Turkmenistan has committed its entire gas exports to China, Russia and Iran. It has no urgent need of the pipelines that the United States and the European Union have been advancing. Are we hearing the faint notes of a Russia-China-Iran symphony?

My thoughts: The principal reason for a "war" in Afghanistan was because of the Trans-Afghan pipeline. Are there enough troops there to secure the safety of it's construction? How do the family and friends of troops in Afghanistan feel when they realize their loved ones are losing their lives because of privately owned "interests" in Iraq and Afghanistan? After everything that has already been exposed about those wars, only the naive would  STILL believe those wars were justified to  protect "freedom and democracy."
