http://money.cnn.com/2014/05/21/news/ru ... ?hpt=hp_t3So EU will going to wait for US gas for next winter , because this its what US offer for EU sanctions to Russia
Yep. Russia diverting their gas to China, meaning Europeans will now be paying triple for American gas ... from U.S. natural gas companies the friends and relatives of the American political families coincidentally all have board seats on (Apache, ExxonMobil and Chevron). Yahoo Finance shows shares in CVX, APA and XOM are all surging since the Russia-China gas deal was announced this morning.
Kuthoer must be fucking one of the heiresses of the Huntsman family. Hoping to grab his slice of the pie. That's the only explanation. Ain't nobody that dumb.
And not to mention that Russia and China also agreed to bilateral trade without using the US dollar. That they will trade using their own currencies directly. Yet another blow to the dollar's world reserve currency status, which is much more troubling to the US than the EU freezing to death next winter.
You know, Saxi, why it is that we can leverage EU nations so much as to basically turning them into puppet states while not being able to sway Russia?
Because, it's much,
much harder to leverage someone who doesn't have a whole bunch of debt.
That's why the petrodollar is so important to the US, it's the real basis for our power over other nations. Other nations have to acquire US dollars to conduct trade, and the US is the only nation legally allowed to print US dollars. All trade roads lead through the US, but China has been working diligently and fairly quietly building bypasses.
This bodes ill for the US but luckily, most of us can be distracted by BS so we don't see it coming. And this Ukraine crisis is BS.
There is a much bigger game being played than most people understand.
