“And diplomatically, Moscow is maneuvering in the Mideast and with Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez to effectively transfer the leadership of OPEC to the Kremlin.”
Quite the feat, considering Russia is not an OPEC nation!

So what? Austria isn’t a member of OPEC (heck, it isn’t an oil producing nation), but Vienna is the site of the organisation’s headquarters.
