OPEC Cuts, Oil Falls: Something's Not Sustainable

"to fight China, Russia and India for the world’s dwindling supplies"
yeah, as most Americans this guy is good when it comes to economy, but looks so, sorry, stupid when it come to something outside of baseball "World" series :)
1) Ok, you defeated China and India, so what's next? They are NOT suppliers of oil, my dear "expert"! All you can do is to prohibit them to consume oil, if you can occupy them! :)
2) Fight Russia? I don't want even mention fate of Napoleon and Hitler after they tried to do that. I just want to let you know, my dear "expert", that Russia can annihilate America in 1 hour. Literally! Russia preserved the Soviet era nukes completely.
If you don't know that, too bad!
Stupid Bush And Co., instead of supporting puppets (that BTW don't obey its master!) like Saakashvili, would rather establish good ties with Russia!
If they don't know how to do that they can ask American astronauts and NASA guys that work successfully with Russians since 1975 in space!
Anti-Russian propaganda in America in its peak now, although all Russian leaders, whatever you hear of them from CNN and AP, keep calling America "our partner" and keep saying that all they want is to have good relationship with us!
It is America that does whatever it can to worsen relationship with Russia by being arrogant, ignorant and just plain stupid sometimes!
I hope Obama and Co. will finally stop confronting Russia and make it our ally!

Events in Russia Could Push U.S. Toward a Clearer Energy Policy

"The reason NATO is feckless, obviously, is that most if not all NATO countries must have Russia’s oil and gas exports"
With all my respect the major reason why NATO is "feckless" is obviously the simple fact that Russia is a nuclear superpower. It means Russia can literally annihilate NATO in a few hours with it huge nuke arsenal.
Also, I was disappointed to find on this board the same cheap dirty anti-Russian propaganda we can see on CNN, Fox News or AP about Russian-Georgian conflict.
The beauty of Seeking Alpha is its authors usually much smarter and more independent thinkers than their colleagues from mainstream "independent" mass-media.
Unfortunately, it seems to me the author of this article used cheap mass-marked CNN as a source of info about Russia-Georgia conflict instead of less hysterical and more intelligent sources like, say, Christian Science Monitor, The Economist, Time Magazine, Guardian, Times, etc.
And the last but not least.
If Russia wanted to "putting us at great risk", as author claims, it would have disrupted or at least approached major pipelines in Georgia. Russians didn't do that although they easily could do that and push oil prices to stratosphere. They didn't do that because I guess they wanted to send a signal to the West: "Guys, we play according to the rules. We don't fight YOU! We only fight your reckless bloody puppet that forgot how to behave yourself".
They didn't even overthrow Saakashvili, despite of his hysterical complains translated by American mass-medias, as Americans did with Saddam.
I'd suggest author to clear his brains from Cold War prejudice and stop seeing Russians as enemies. Prejudice, fear and hate are bad allies of analytical brains!
