We should definitely allow no Russian immigrants here, and would be well advised to deport those who have already arrived My wife, her 9mm and my rifle might have something to say about that.
You need to cure that cranial-rectal condition of yours before you say something even dumber.

One can hop up and down and write articles as how ethnic, political and choice of government fits into this long term low level war that has been raging in this area. But the reality is the ruskies will use it to their benefit to project their power in the ex-Soviet sats, and drive the prices of oil and gas up.
They have no plans on allowing their hold on oil and gas line distribution to diminish. Europe must be shown who is the key power broker in the region. And the Mullahs know exactly how far they can go with their ties with the Russians.
And by default the Chinese will always side with the Russians on long term plans to increase their wealth and power influences.
With that being said. I got home at 9:20PM. Have to eat something and hit the rack and be up at 3:30AM to be back at work at 5AM.
No joy and bleary eyes. Signing off.

The psychological effect as well as reality is that a kleptocratic tyrant is taking charge of Europe’s energy resources. Russia/Putin is now in position to control the tap.

SHED BLOOD FOR CASPIAN OIL
What an idiot expression “ no blood for oil” War for oil is a perfect national interest. Our entire prosperity depends on energy and the cheaper the better.
