The US strategy for regime change in Moscow has been long in preparation. In 2013 (before Ukraine’s President Yanukovych was overthrown in 2014) , Carl Gersham, director of National Endowment for Democracy (NED), wrote: “Ukraine is the biggest prize.” He explained that if it could be pulled away from Russia and into the West, “Putin may find himself on the losing end not just in the near abroad but within Russia itself.”

Israel -Turkey gas pipeline discussed as European alternative to Russian energy | Reuters – https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/israel-turkey-gas-pipeline-an-option-russia-wary-europe-sources-2022-03-29/

ANKARA/JERUSALEM, March 29 (Reuters) - A Turkey-#Israel gas pipeline is being discussed behind the scenes as one of #Europe's alternatives to Russian energy supplies, but it will take complicated maneuvering to reach any deal, government and industry officials in both countries say.

The idea, first conceived years ago, is to build a subsea #pipeline from Turkey to Israel's largest offshore natural gas field, #Leviathan. #Gas would flow to #Turkey and on to southern European neighbors looking to diversify away from #Russia.
