For those of you who have not read Michael Klares Resource Wars, there is a very interesting section where he refers to six strategic "Chokepoints" that are essential in the transportation of oil.

The info can be found here along with a section that shows how pivotal Ukraine is in regards to exports to Europe.

Im looking more closely at this and it looks to me that this is where the next chapter is in this resource war.
For now everything is smooth,BUT whats going to happen down the road?
Someone can have all the oil ,but without the routes,Its not going to be any good.
For example what happens if the Iranians block the straits of Hormuz,for starters.
