The focus of the geopolitical interests of the USA is on Russia. The tragedy in the Balkans was the first phase of preparation for aggression against our country. At the Hague Tribunal meeting in February 2002, Milosevic compared Clinton's strategy in the Kosovo war with Hitler's actions to create a strategic basis for organizing the attack on Russia.

The war in Yugoslavia is a well-thought-out geostrategic scenario of the anti-Russian orientation of the United States, which Washington has been implementing for more than 50 years. It developed in two steps.

The first phase ended in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The second will most likely follow the Yugoslav system, which President Bush Jr. called "the model of progress in the Balkans". The events in Yugoslavia show that the ultimate goal will be to transform the republics of the former Soviet Union from nation-states into destroyed areas that are small protectorates under the supervision of Washington and its junior coalition allies.

Washington started a war because the destruction of Yugoslavia is seen as the key to "satisfying" the Balkans, and the Balkans in turn is the southern strategic flank of the former Soviet Union.

If the US consolidates its power in the Balkans, the danger of war against Russia will increase many times over.

Geopolitically, the implementation of the "Kosovo model" in relation to Russia means that the US will allow access to the resources of the former Soviet republics, the strengthening of Washington's power throughout the post-Soviet space, which will allow it to further channel all military power against China and India for the purpose of its state dissolution and transformation of small protectorates.

The Middle East and Central Asia combined hold more than two-thirds of the world's oil and gas reserves. It is known that in the decade following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.S. conducted an active diplomatic offensive in Central Asia focused primarily on the prospect of gaining control of the vast oil reserves of the Caspian Sea Basin.

Terrorist attacks have become a convenient reason for the active introduction of U.S. military forces into the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus. With the "Campaign against Terrorism", the United States entered the heart of the Eurasian continent, which has always been considered the center of world geopolitics.

It has established a military presence in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.

This has enabled the United States to dominate this strategically important and resource-rich region of the world. Here the huge Tengiz oil field is owned by Kazakhstan. Turkmenistan has huge natural gas reserves. On the other side of the Caspian Sea is Baku, an oil production centre on the coastal shelf.

Data from the Washington Post show that oil and gas are constantly increasing the strategic value of the region. Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan have very large reserves of both. Geologists are constantly improving their estimates of the explored reserves of fields under the Caspian Sea. The US Department of Energy announced today that Kazakhstan could have 95 million barrels of oil, almost four times more than Mexico's proven reserves. The US company Chevron was the first to make a significant contribution to the development of Kazakh oil, and this company - now called Chevron Texaco - is investing billions of dollars in Kazakhstan. In this country we have a great interest in the economy and energy resources," said a senior U.S. official in Kazakhstan. - This is part of our national energy strategy. By 2015, Kazakhstan and its Caspian coasts could become one of the world's major oil wells, the spokesman said.

Kazakhstan is thus one of the most important regions in which the geopolitical interests of the USA and Russia seriously clash.

Tensions between the former Central Asian republics and Afghanistan over water supplies can also be predicted. The Amu Darya River, an important and already overfished source of water for Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, has for many kilometres served as the border between the Tajik-Afghan and Uzbek-Afghan borders. Now that international donors have promised to rebuild the Afghan economy, including the agricultural sector, the use of Amu Darya water resources will increase, which could lead to conflict, including armed conflict.
