“…you’re going to start seeing Russia take on a whole new nationalism.  And Russia’s going to create a crisis in order to spawn nationalism, because it realizes it’s losing its youth.

…and Russia is going to end up black mailing many of the small satellite nations that used to be part of the Soviet block, and demand that they come into a whole new alliance, and a whole new agreement.

 And Poland will be black mailed.  I hope they don’t succumb.  The Slavik countries, Hungry, Romania, Ukraine, Khazikstan… All these are going to be black mailed by Russia. “If you want our oil, if you want our  gas, you will come back in.  Because if you don’t, we will close the pipeline tomorrow.

 And they’re waiting for the price of gas to get up high enough so they can close the pipeline to those countries and still be able to function economically in their own state.  But they have to wait till the price of gasoline gets high enough before they can cut the pipeline off.”
