Victims of New World Order Are Known

The U.S. President Barack Obama threatens to veto bill on Keystone
pipeline between the United States and Canada. "If this bill passes
this Congress, the president wouldn't sign it," White House Press
Secretary Josh Earnest said.
Recently the great powers have tended to give up on the construction
of oil and gas pipelines. Russia has given up on South Stream despite
investments amounting to 5 billion dollars. Earlier China had refused
to build a pipeline to Russia, and Putin's statement on laying out a
pipeline to Turkey via the Black Sea sounds like demagogy not
supported by anything. Yet earlier Europe had refused Nabucco.
"Unexpected" loss of interest in new pipelines confirms that oil and
gas are losing their geopolitical importance. An energy revolution is
going on in the world, and now it is already being felt. Discovery of
new sources of energy, creation of thermonuclear batteries, mass
production of electric cars has resulted in sudden change of the
policy of global powers. Geopolitics based on oil and gas is ending.
The United States is producing oil and gas, causing prices to drop.
Iran already is not trying to make new deals, directing its entire
potential at seeking for new sources, namely the maintenance and
development of the nuclear program. All these countries are interested
in blocking the way of its "competitor" Russian oil.
Apparently, this tendency determines the global politics, bringing
about serious consequences for both major and small states. Therefore,
prices of oil keep falling, "caliphates" emerge which are used by some
to get their share of Iraqi oil, Russia weakens and grows aggressive
and a lot of other processes are underway.
With its huge human and scientific potential Armenia can find its
place in the new global system if the consequences of the energy
revolution, its impact on the world's map and our region are
estimated. Obviously, Russia will not have an honorable place on the
new energy map. The country which will have new energy technology and
will manage them will have advantage in the new setting.
All this does not seem real but sudden changes of the world are
already visible. Why is nobody surprised at the low prices of oil? It
seems funny that the United States and Arab states incur losses to
weaken Russia. Russia is part of the Western system and is fully
dependent on it. Hence, Russia is not a purpose but a victim. How many
victims will there be?
