1. I don't think he'll live long...
Is this suicide by cop on an international scale?

2. Seems like painting a target on his back, however...
he's already been involved in blowing up some pipelines, so I assume that target was already on his back.

3. What stuck out about this was...
how well it jibes with certain points that Kunstler makes. Increasingly, our oil comes from politically hostile countries. Even if the geology is favorable, oil is expensive to extract if you are being bombarded by hostile locals who blow up your pipelines.
