UPDATE: London Times Online is reporting that despite Russia’s claim that it has reinstated the gas supply to Ukraine, very little is actually flowing, and that only out of one entry point.
At this point, it looks like Russia has almost turned the natural gas supply back on to 18 European countries. How generous.
Mark these words: Russia is determined to re-take a pivotal role in global politics, and humanity better not get in the way. Re-read our “Losing a Chess Game” and “Tin-Pot Dictators“.
Amazing how the world has simply turned away from this story. It’s as if all of earth has stared into the eyes of Putin and his puppet Medvedev and found their souls.
