most certainly, Trump spoke the other day about "assets in the area" and I knew he meant Chevron. They are already setting up shop to extract the offshore gas. In fact, Israel already steals the Cyprian gas and there's a whole issue there.
EU needs the supply.
The game is huge. LNG is a big prize. Remember that Syria had their “uprising” less than 2 weeks after they made the “wrong” pipeline route decision. Chevron are classic for being involved. I will not work for them. All the big fields. Kashagan, south pars, Tamar and south to the ganan fields etc etc. The east med fields caused big increase in jostling for resources but the pipeline routes for control are another area of great power maneuvering
indeed, just like when Mozambique found their largest gas fields, Al Qaeda linked terrorists suddenly appear and seemingly attacked the government and not the fuel companies like Totale
this all stems from Nord Stream and cutting off that supply.
This is before nordstream. It’s a very big picture. Been going on for years. Shake gas in USA changed everything as well cause they have very cheap gas. There’s people there want to sell to Europe now we have big lng infrastructure. Some don’t want to as increases gas price in USA. It’s just a massive complex mess of power plays over energy and selling it to Europe’s energy poor markets. Money and control

It’s just a massive complex mess of power plays over energy and selling it to Europe’s energy poor markets. Money and control. Remember one thing. If you look back at the news from early 2000s, you’ll find lots of articles of Russians letting Ukraine off from paying billions of dollars. They bailed them out all the time and Ukraine held them over a barrel due to the pipeline routes. Hence nordstream. Games within games but all about using natural gas to replace coal for electricity generation

And yeah, EU supply. Hence Russia and Ukraine. And why the fuck are they shutting down groenigen? Crazy power plays
