The Russian-Central Asian announcement is just bluster - no pipeline will be built because they are already there!

If I'm not mistaking, the announcement came just a few days before Kazakhstan was supposed to promised its supplies for another pipeline in a conference in Poland. So Russians made sure there was no other pipeline with Putin visiting Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan during that week.

the announcement came just a few days before Kazakhstan was supposed to promised its supplies for another pipeline in a conference in Poland.

And I thought that I had explained that such promises were meaningless because there is no possibility of any other pipeline being built, because it misses major necessary ingredients.

It's all PR and show-business. It works because people believe these announcements, but they shouldn't.
