Maybe Vlad should just charge $125/barrel for his oil & see how far that gets him.

The other shoes is just about to drop. Well, can’t say I blame the b@stards for wanting to make a buck. Russian crude has fallen so much that it’s pointless for them to sell it. Good for us, though.....

Putin has not noticed the world economy falling into collapse, apparently.

Maybe they’ll bomb Iran? :p

I think this is code for "We are going to invade Poland".

That will certainly raise oil prices.

Oil is just one source of energy. Anything he does to try,with others, to ‘corner’ the market on oil, will just drive business to coal, gas, conservation, nuclear.

He and others, can not much, for long, go above these other energy sources.

Let's Americanize this headline:

Obama says America we should act to influence oil prices

No offshore drilling
No new onshore drilling
No nukes
No coal
No liquefied natural gas
Complete and utter dependence on foreign sources of crude

Windmills, solar panels and Kandy Kanes for everyone!

From what I see, these decreased crude prices are one of the only things that have kept the “average joe” from going over the brink right now. Watch out if these prices suddenly shot up.

For a start, NEVER BUY GAS HERE!!

"And so it starts"

No, it doesnt.

Nothing here but a control-freak commie grasping at a solution to the problem that he and is buddies are losing cash hand over fist as oil prices drop.

There is NOTHING he can do about it.
