The Russians hold all the cards militariily ........

Russia is flush with oil and oil money. Europe gets a large percent of their oil and gas from Russia and the mid-east (incl Iran). We here in the US import upwards of 70% of our oil.

We can't get into any major conflicts with the possibility of our oil supply being cut off. And Nancy Pelosi wants to release oil from our reserve to lower fuel costs.

If we don't get our own oil/energy supplies on-line, we may just get run over.
