So, again, the EU will move on this before Obama does. Obama doesn't move on things that won't be popular with his base, and this won't. If the US gets involved in this at all, it will only because of inescapable NATO obligations and it wouldn't surprise me to see Obama trying to find ways out of those unless the idea of military intervention in the Ukraine suddenly becomes rabidly popular in the US.

Its probably all sorted, with the agreement of the EU. Pipes must not get damaged, Russia's gas income must continue. Along with an all weather port. America wont like the idea of Russia and the EU. getting friendly, but I think Germany and Russia are already involved. It would have Raw materials and production facilities, which would be essential for a growing Europe, and the modernisation of Russia.
