Gas pipelines as a Strategic Weapon

"Have gas pipelines become the nuclear weapons of our times?" asks Paul Goble, a lecturer at the Estonian University of Tartu, reflecting on how strategic instruments of power have changed over time. "In Ancient Egypt, power was based on a ruler's ability to irrigate his land. In Rome, it was based on the road networks which enabled troops to move quickly. Later, there were war ships – and during the Cold War it was the possession of nuclear weapons. Now, however, the nature of international conflict has changed." Goble points out that this has also entailed a change in the instruments of power. "The construction of the gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea must be observed in this context. Moscow has decided to use gas as a weapon against the Ukraine and other states within its sphere of influence, including Estonia."
