Central Asian Resources and US Goals
-DR. ABDUL RUFF
--------------------
Of course, USA is now the global dictator.
It is amusing, rather amazing, to observe the patterns of US foreign policy to advance its global interests at cheap prices through fanatic mischief. Keeping in view its long term goals, USA is pushing hard to ensure the energy sources from Islamic world by hook or crook, by invasion or coercion, by threat and bully. While invading energy rich Muslim nations in Mideast for their energy resources, the USA is also making efforts to cement ties with many Muslim nations. Obama has appointed Robert Patterson the envoy to Turkmenistan after 5 year gap necessitated by Bushdom arrogance and Russian interference .
After the disintegration of USSR five oil rich Muslim states came into being in Central Asia - Turkmenistan is one which is pro-Moscow state. The USA sees Turkmenistan as key to ensuring energy security in neighboring Afghanistan. Washington also backs initiatives to build transportation routes to carry the country's natural gas to Europe, thereby minimizing Western reliance on Russian exports, although both USA and Russia cooperate on anti-Islamic projects in Afghanistan, central Asia indirectly and elsewhere.
USA was favoring Central nations, including Turkmenistan, in favor of its vast energy resources. Bilateral ties between the world's most dangerous USA and a corrupt Turkmenistan have come under strain in recent years, however, over Turkmenistan's interference in US student exchange programs and embarrassing revelations made in cables leaked by the firebrand WikiLeaks.
US ambassador Robert Patterson is already in Turkmenistan, has presented his credentials to the president of this energy-rich former Soviet republic. He takes up a post left vacated five years ago, after a period of a chill in relations between the two countries under Bush Jr.
Of course, USA or NATO cannot attack Turkmenistan on Sept-11 or democracy deficit gimmick or by engineering “uprisings” in Central Asia, considered to be the backyard states of the Kremlin.
What about US brand democracy- who will buy it?
Will Turkmenistan exchange its oil for US democracy so that it could exist without fear?
Will USA use Russia to bully other Central Asian states to promote NATO fascist interests? Why not? Any country that doe snot support US imperialism and refuses to fall in line, would be dealt with just as sovereign Libya is now - is that not so, Mr. Obama?.
