Russian's are Crazy




MOSCOW/KIEV (Reuters) – Russia cut off the gas to its neighbor Ukraine on Thursday after a contract dispute but increased supplies to other European states to try to reassure customers worried about possible disruption.

The European Union, which receives a fifth of its gas from pipelines crossing Ukraine, and the United States urged further negotiations to resolve the dispute and said all supply commitments must be met.

Energy firms in Germany, France, Poland, Romania, Austria and Italy said they had not yet seen any drop in supply. Europe has enough gas stockpiled to manage without Russian gas for several days, though not weeks, analysts said.



I know this happened a few days ago but it hasn't been solved yet and I was watching Rocky IV yesterday so i just wanted to touch on the craziness of Russians. First, this happened before in 2006 which hurt the Ukraine and countries in Europe but people didn't think it necessary to develop a counter system then. So i guess it's partially everyones fault. Let's have Russia control a quarter of our gas supplies in Eastern Europe but let's not do anything about it. What's the worst that can happen? (Drago! Drago! Drago!)


Second, does Russia want people to hate them? I think it's a good thing because the U.S. needs some allies in hating on Russia. The list of countries is pretty weak though, the only thing we have going for us is Germany because they kinda schooled the other guys on the list during WWII, I mean France?, come on.


Anyways, my investment tip is too buy stock in the company that owns snuggies because orders to Eastern Europe are going to go thru the roof.
