With lower prices comes greater dependence. It gives Russia greater leverage over its customers. Sort of like the drug dealer has with his junkies.
As for Ukraine, let Nuland take care of Ukraine out of her share of the Hillary/Obama billions they stole. When they can't siphon off gas to make a buck and claim it's Russia short changing Europe the country will finally shatter into the three or four pieces it's been destined to break apart into ever since it became independent.
Are you a Russian troll? I guess you think Ukraine should have remained as part of the Soviet Empire.
Ya' know, it's a funny damn thing that the Free Traitors are all for trade with China, which is still absolutely Communist, and all of East Asia because, "trade will open them up and gradually make them more democratic and Westernized", but they damn sure don't apply that same rule to Russia.
Precisely. However, in the case of China, the US has the real leverage and until Trump, was afraid to use it or the globalists were happy with the status quo and the bottom line.
Sure, Hillary, everyone is a russian troll.
I guess you didn't note my comment regarding them not establishing a Federal system where the states have rights. You know, like electing their own governors rather than governors being appointed by whoever rules in Kiev.
Nah, someone doesn't agree with you call em' a russian troll and pretend they made some assertion they didn't.
Maybe you could read and try and understand the comments people make, maybe you could figure out that Ukraine as established was doomed from the outset and has stayed in constant turmoil from the start, or maybe you can keep being a ringer for your Hillary scum pals who just don't like any opinion not their own.
Makes no difference to me, you're obviously a jerk at this point so stay one if you like.
Ukraine is an absolute cluster**** right now...anyone who thinks its some bastion of freedom and democracy is gravely mistaken. It is essentially one of the poorest, most oppressive, most disgustingly corrupt countries on the planet at the moment...and it absolutely needs to be allowed to disintegrate into its more-or-less "natural" parts, so some kind of recovery can begin.
