It looks like Putin is a lot smarter than anyone we have in power.

"It looks like Putin is a lot smarter than anyone we have in power."

That's the truth.
And it's troubling.

I think he is very smart, but I'm not sure if reading comments on FR that the US media correctly exude how much of a powerful position Russia is in. This issue is of extreme importance here in Europe.

Russia has immense wealth, has allies of countries with immense wealth, and those factors together in this current energy climate, means they hold ALL the ace cards.

There's lots of subterfuge here, Sarkozy is scared, the EU is scared about this.

It doesn't take much smarts for an elephant to step on an ant.
