For many months now I've been posting that a realpolitik vision of the world would certainly anticipate an alliance between Moscow, Caracas, Cuba and assorted South American communist dictatorships. This is moving closer and closer to reality but the addition of Brazil with its elephantine oil find offshore radically redefines the equation. Now this axis can be funded not only by Russian oil but also by Venezuelan and Brazilian oil.
One day before this advertisement is published here on Free Republic (that's really what the article is) we have the spectacle of the vice president of the United States gratuitously assailing Sarah Palin for her support of domestic drilling in a congressional race in which the vice president's remark appeared to be entirely out of context. But are they?
A couple of months ago we have the revelation that George Soros has invested heavily in Brazilian oil drilling. This was then followed by an announcement that the Obama administration is underwriting the costs of such drilling ventures. My concern goes far beyond possible corruption involved in George Soros leveraging his influence with this administration to subsidize his investments, it extends to the national security threat posed to this country by these developments.
While all of this is going on and while the vulnerability to foreign oil production grows organically, we have the Obama administration affirmatively shutting down and discouraging drilling domestically whereever it can. Why is the administration accelerating our dependency on producers of oil who explicitly state their hatred of the United States?
It is conceivable that this Russian- New World axis might produce a alternative market of oil suppliers competing with the Muslim dominated suppliers. But that is certainly only a possibility and not one upon which a prudent American government would bet the very survival of the nation.
One can only ask, why would a Marxist president make the nation more vulnerable to oil producing Marxist countries?
