While America Eats, Russia Knocks

November 26, 2008 / 8:54 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

From Fausta, here is what’s happening with our “good friend” Russia:

  • Naval maneuvers in the Caribbean
    A potential Russo-Venezuelan OPEC-like agreement for natural gas
    Trade agreements throughout South America with Russia delivering food, medicine, and NUCLEAR material.

Russia does nothing accidentally. Their Georgian act of war was timed while the world was looking toward China. This action is pure, unadulterated aggression, albeit rather passive.

I wonder what is Barack Obama’s comprehensive Russian plan? Sure hope he has one. He’s being bullied already.

    Has it occured to anyone that maybe, just maybe, we need to get off the f’in imported oil? I used to be anti-nuke until I realized that the politics of oil have killed far more people than any nuke plant ever did, including Chernobyl. The technology is far safer now, and there are even plans for “mini -reactors” that have sophisticated auto shutdown logic controllers in them. Use these to generate the electricity, convert mass transit to all electric and use the remaining domestic oil production to satisfy needs until we can wean ourselves off of this 130 year old technology. Do you realize that we are essentially driving the same technology that was available in 1910? Sure, it’s faster, quieter, safer, etc., but the underlying principle is the same, and frankly the average corporate fuel economy isn’t any better than the old model T’s. Want to go tell Russia, Venezuela, Iran, et al to f**k off? Get off the oil, and they will beg us to do business with them. I for one could live with the nuke power and maybe even some temporary increase in domestic oil production if we could move ahead with other technology and eventually tell these bastards to F-off. OK, I’m done now…
