The Russians do not need Georgia. I don't know what maps you have been seeing, but it is not the russians that have problem with the pipeline routes, it is the Nabuco that has problems...Russia has source and route to send gas to its european customers...(although the new Bulgarian government tries to cause problems for the southern route over the last few weeks)

The USA cannot create a Kurdish State unless it is willing to fight Iran, Iraqis and Turkey, plus Syria at the same time. It will just not happen any time soon. Also, I don't think you know turks very well. While a large part of the population wants joining the EU, they would NEVER accept to give away land, which btw would not be 10% but at least 15%+. Not only for the duh reasons but also because if they do so they will have even more problems with their population. The turkish state is not a 100% "pure" turkish country. They people in power know very well that giving away land (which won't happen anyway) will mean the collapse of the Turkish republic. They will fight with everything they can before they accept that, so they will never accept to give away land. Then, the military that basically controls the country, does NOT want to join the EU in the first place. It is partly why in the last 6 months they have increased the hostilities over the Aegean. If Turkey ever joins the EU, they know that it will mean their end (military) in terms of power. They will not accept it.
Then of course it is a matter of major EU countries like oh, France, Germany, Italy, UK, not really wanting to accept Turkey in due to realistic and racist reasons.
The EU membership "card"/"carrot" is like a joke that everyone knows but none admits it.

For the foreseeable future, no other european country will acquire nukes. Thankfully they are not all as bloodthirsty and warmongers as some in the USA are(were?). Perhaps you would see things differently too if the USA had suffered the two world wars in the same way the european countries had.

As for Turkey, it will be a good ally of the USA for as long as they believe they have something to gain. If that stops or if the islamists, who are already in power, manage to control the military, then you will see how quickly the balance of power in the region will "change".
