9/27/19, “Alexandroupolis, new US base against Russia," Voltaire via Il Manifesto, Manlio Dinucci
“Geoffrey R. Pyatt was the United States ambassador to Ukraine from 2013 to 2016. There he organized, together with Victoria Nuland, the coup d’etat of Euromaidan. [“Yats is the guy.”] In 2016, Barack Obama appointed him [Pyatt] ambassador to Greece, from where he organized a schism within the Orthodox church. Currently [under Trump], its mission is to end the supply of Russian gas to the European Union.” [Pyatt is another hateful Obama holdover retained by Trump. After overseeing the violent overthrow of Ukraine’s elected government and installation of a US puppet government that made things even worse, Pyatt moves on to destabilizing Greece. By choosing to retain Pyatt, Trump confirms yet again that his heart belongs to the mass murdering Deep State].
“« I have just returned from Alexandroupolis, an important strategic visit that refines both the exceptional military relations between the United States and Greece and the strategic investment that the United States government is making in Alexandroupolis. » Geoffrey Pyatt, United States Ambassador to Greece, September 16, 2019.” “The port of Alexandroupolis, in northeastern Greece bordering Turkey and Bulgaria, is located in front of the Aegean Sea, on the edge of the Dardanelles Strait, which, connecting the Mediterranean with the Black Sea in Turkish territory, constitutes a fundamental route of the Maritime transit, especially for Russia.
The strategic importance of that port, which Ambassador Pyatt visited accompanied by the Minister of Defense of Greece, Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos, has been the subject of an explanation provided precisely by the United States embassy in Athens:
“Due to its strategic location and its infrastructure, the port of Alexandroupolis is well placed to guarantee support for military exercises in the region, as was demonstrated in the recent Saber Guardian 2019.
The ” strategic investment ” that Washington is already making in several ports aims to turn Alexandroupolis into one of the most important US military bases in the region, with the ability to block Russian ships’ access to the Mediterranean. That is possible thanks to the “exceptional military relations “ with Greece, which has long since made its bases available to the United States – especially the base of Larissa, for the armed drones Reaper, that of Stefanovikeio for F-16 fighter planes and Apache helicopters. This last base will be privatized and the United States has decided to buy it [with US tax dollars].
Ambassador Pyatt does not hide the interest of the United States to strengthen its military presence in Greece, as well as in other countries of the Mediterranean region. « We work with other democratic partners in the region to reject malefic actors such as Russia and China, with interests contrary to ours », [Do you mean that unlike the “malefic” US, Russia and China don’t agree with lavishly funding Islamic terrorists and illegally occupying a third of Syria?] explains the US ambassador before stating that « Russia uses energy as an instrument of its malefic influence ». [Assuming that’s so, how is it not “malefic” when the terror sponsor US does it?] He then underlines the importance that “geopolitics of energy“ has achieved, stating that ” Alexandroupolis has a crucial role as a link for energy security and stability in Europe .“ Western Thrace, the Greek region where the port of Alexandroupolis is located, is, in effect, ” an energy crossroads for central and eastern Europe .”
Just look at the map to understand what the ambassador means. Eastern Thrace is bordering the small European part of Turkey where it arrives, after crossing the Black Sea, the Turk Stream gas pipeline from Russia, already in completion. From there, through another pipeline, Russian gas should reach Bulgaria, Serbia and other European countries. That is the Russian response to the US maneuver, which – with the important complicity of the European Union – blocked in 2014 the South-Stream pipeline, which would have brought Russian gas to Italy and the other countries of the European Union . The United States is now trying to block the Turk Stream as well, which is already more difficult due to the deterioration of relations between Ankara and Washington. So the United States now hopes to use Greece, a country that large amounts of US liquid natural gas are already arriving to replace Russian gas.
It is not yet clear what the United States is preparing in Greece, even against China, which plans to make the Greek port of Piraeus an important stopover of the new Silk Road. But it would not be surprising if we had a ” Alexandroupolis incident ” in the Aegean Sea, similar to the ” Tonkin incident“.”

Added: Trump continues to ramp up instead of cut back US foreign military presence:
“U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper presented to Congress last week a list of 127 plans to expand, renovate or build new U.S. military infrastructure and bases abroad, many of which are in Greece. This suggests that the U.S. is fortifying Greece as a means to block Russia in the Black Sea, the location of Russia’s only ice-free ports.”…
