"Putin and Chavez should get married"

This is a SERIOUS situation - these damn marxists are finally going to organize worldwide.

Nice lie by omission on your part.

The Russians offered the Ukraine gas at $160 per 1,000 cu meters, and offered to increase the transit fees it pays them from $1.00 to $1.75 to help offset the increase. The Ukraine DEMANDED the fees be increased to $3.00 per 1,000, which would in effect give the Ukraine gas for free. The Russians rejected that offer and raised the price for gas to $230. The Ukraine has been siphoning off Russian gas for years and selling it to Europe for market prices. Of course none of this matters, since most robots want to blame the evil Russians for this problem.
