This reads like Pro-Putin masturbatory propaganda. Russia gets 50 percent of its income from its energy revenues, since the only other profitable market in Russia is vodka and drugs that rot your skin off your bones while you're still alive. Their deal with China apparently already hit some roadblocks, as the Chicoms are not coughing up the advance of money they claimed they already agreed upon. As for Turkey, they can keep Turkey, as they don't do much good for us, and maybe they will not take kindly to the carpet bombing of entire cities that Russia used to do on Chechnya. Either way, if Russia wants to cut its gas to Europe and switch to the Chicoms--- let them have it, they deserve each other. The United States will be happy to sell our oil to the Europeans; the Jews have already found a huge reserve that will be coming around eventually to fill up the void; and maybe the Russian-Controlled anti-Fracking movements will lose their luster and countries like Germany will start doing what we're doing right here in Texas.
The only masturbation taking place is Skeeter pulling his Clinton over the Oval Office's washroom sink.
Putin gets things done. Skeeter gets in the way as he mismanages everything he touches and, like a child's toy, ends up broken and worthless.
Discount Putin at our peril, If you want someone discounted go after Skeeter, Clinton and Kerry. Then go after the other 100,000 or so parasites that lurk about the halls of Congress, the Pentagon, the Supreme Court and the White House Annex.
