MOSCOW, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said curbs on investments in oil development could lead to shortages of crude oil in coming years.

There could be a moment in the future when global demand for oil increases but there is no oil available, Putin said.

Might be a very cold winter for Europe. Such a shame.

Can’t they shred those composite blades into small pieces and use them as filler in paving?

Damn that Putin, warning of possible oil market instabilities because of American and Western European Policy just like he warned of natural gas market instabilities because of Western European Policy, he's just an outright Capitalist promoter.

Sure they can, it just take more energy than those blades ever produced, and energy is hard to get, these days.

If it was Putin putting the screws to people he wouldn't be warning them and letting them know how to stop it.

Putin has a real problem to his South. He just hasn’t figured
that out yet.

He’s going to snooze through the downfall of the West, and
then find out there’s no one left to save his nation from
China.

Landfills are a good thing too, assuming they are going to eventually become a skiing mountain. Some day here in Indiana we’ll have world class slopes. And the methane off-gassing can help heat homes.

The Chinese have been moving into Russia for years. Just walking across the border and setting up camp with their relatives.

America and Western Europe are not going to save Russia, downfall or not.

Russia is alone in defense of Russia, and she knows it.

Yes, I realize that. Eastern Russia is being occupied.

The point is, China will be less belligerent toward Russia
until it has accomplished what it wants to elsewhere.

I agree with your take, but I don’t expect to see China go
after Russia failing much success elsewhere.

So Putin has more to gain from a strong West, than he does
from a strong China.

I agree.

It views the rest of the world in the same way also.

I agree with that only because American Marxists, more Evil than Chinese Communists, have less power than the Chinese because: numbers.

China views Russia as a future part of China.

As China views the US as a future Vassal of China.

They already own the Government, why not all the rest?
