41. I think that this conflagration also has a LOT to do with oil,

and Russia's ability to control totally oil and gas coming from its former Caspian and Central Asian Soviet Republics.

Putin is going to jerk the chain on almost all of Europe just like he has done with Ukraine. He already has the Germans in his corner, tied up with a natural gas pipeline deal.

Ukraine, Poland and the Balts are probably in a complete panic about now.

I don't like the neocons, either, but I would rather "punch them in the face" in some other way.
