‘Europe will soon get a taste of the new world economic order,Russian style’

With oil at less than $50 a barrel, natural gas prices also plummeting and with Russian reserves pretty expensive to extract I think that I will sleep soundly tonight.

It’s worth remembering that the economy of the EU is over 10 times the size of the Russian economy.

Europe will soon get a taste of the new world economic order,Russian style;but don’t worry:Obama will save them!Speaking of birth rates,Spain’s is as low if not lower than Russia’s, and unlike Russia, Spain isn’t doing anything about it.BTW I didn’t know Spain had a spy agency;does the pacifist euroidiot who is Spain’s defense minister know abou this violation of Euroweeniehood?

This time it looks like Russia really is finished. Probably will be overrun by central asian republic former client states. You know those folks who decided to keep breeding.

Hey, remember that Europe is full of enlightened, superior socialists who know best. Green power is the answer. All they have to do is conserve an awful lot and use wind power. Who needs the Russians anyway? The Russians are just doing Europe a favor by discouraging the use of fossil fuels. The Russians are REALLY anti-global warming and this proves it.

dear Nobuddy, Lukoil is your capitalist trojan horse, see ya all screwed, he, the villan socialist Euros, aren’t so dumb !!! and you didn’t even know ! how comes, such intellence escape from your witty mind ?

“Today, LUKOIL owns more gas stations in the United States than it does in Russia. It became the first Russian oil firm to buy a New York Stock Exchange-listed company when it bought Getty Petroleum and its 1,300 stations in November 2000, and then added nearly 800 Mobil-branded stations from ConocoPhillips to its fleet in 2004.”

Russia’s birthrates last year were at 20-year highs and this year is projected to be much higher than last year.

Many people throughout history have thought Russia was finished, but were proven wrong.

Just sayin’.

Putin is the strong will and iron hand of Russia. Without Putin, Russia either goes to vodka or to the mafia.

Still, Russian women continue to “just say no” to having little Russian babies. Russia is dying from the inside. Putin’s Russia is a bit less criminal and besotted than Yeltsin’s, but it is still no place to have any kind of decent life. Men dead before 55. Women childless and alone, cold through the long Russian winter nights. Putin and friends all billionaires, in control of the oil and the media. Everyone else out of luck.

Here is something I am in favour in: Canada to sell its oil to those who are willing to listen to more than those who decry “dirty oil”, for those knuckle draggers are not taking various things into effect.

Let the United States, under new management, go to Venezuela for oil.
