Ah Yes, Putin IS to be admired, he has a portrait of Thomas Jefferson over his bed, recites the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution every morning, his exercise consists of an Inning of Baseball and finishes it off with a piece of apple pie.
Yep, Putin is the Pro-Western Leader we need!
It's Not like he Invited Kim Jung Un to Moscow for the May Day Parade, Supplies Iran with Technical Know How for their Nuclear Project, Invaded and Occupied Ukraine and Georgia.
Well, maybe he has done all those things, but it's okay, Putin doesn't like the gays so that makes all those other things a-okay!

Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian state energy giant Gazprom to cut supplies to and through Ukraine amid accusations, according to The Daily Mail, that its neighbor has been siphoning off and stealing Russian gas.
Interesting. Anyone else note how convenient these "unattributed accusations" are? They seem somewhat akin to, "Amid accusations of Jewish extortion of Germans, Der Führer has boldly and understandably taken punitive action against Jewish business owners and employees."

This seems like very bad news to meI would think so. Yet, why isn't it mentioned on stock market sites like barron's? Stock traders make it their business to feature events like this. Neither Foxnews or Drudge have mentioned it.

Predictable response after almost toothless Western sanctions. Obama appeased Putin for 6 years before Putin made his move then, predictably, the West “slapped” (not really) sanctions on Russia. Putin is playing 3D Chess while Obama is out in the backyard shooting marbles...Russia worked for years to create a European dependency then, at the right moment, WHAM!
The West is as naive as a a lamb in the woods...the lamb is Obama. The wolves are hungry and Obama’s rear legs shudder and he wets himself.

The decision makes no economic sense, Maros Sefcovic, the European Commissions vice president for energy union After years of insulting the Russians it makes no sense to them.
DOH!

Some of the affected countries (mentioned in the article): Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Romania, Croatia and Turkey all reported a halt in gas shipments from Russia through Ukraine.

According to Yahoo Finance crude is at $50.25, up 3.65%. Something seems to be afoot.

Possibly in reaction to the Swiss currency debacle. Are the Russians sensing the end is near for the global economy?
To: Toddsterpatriot
Not sure he cares, much like the Iranians didn’t care when their economy tanked. It actually allows the leaders to point to the USA as the cause of all economic woes.

I thought the Russians would try some funny business to try to get gas prices up.

If we had an intelligent, pro-American, pro-democracy President, he would have long ago helped Ukraine out with their energy needs.

Well lets see how long Putey can keep it up. The ruble is crashing. People are flocking to buy luxuries in Russia before they disappear. So cutting back the gas revenues is not going to be too smart.
Putin is up to his azz in alligators in the Ukraine and he can’t figure out how to back out of the swamp.
