But I am not saying that Russia should abandon supplying gas and oil
to EU altogether. Russia must simply finish its pipeline to the Far
East and then sell its gas on an auction basis - whoever offers higher
prices and firmer guarantees - will get the gas.
Let the free market and the supply-demand curve rule! Capitalist
Russia will teach socialist Europe a lesson in economics.
Say, EU declares that democratic Russia is a dangerous country and
that it wants to reduce the consumption of Russian gas and buy gas
from EU's best fascist friends like Lybia or Saudi Arabia
Or Lithuania decides to blackmail Russia and punish it for the misdeed
from the previous millenium
Or, Ukraine or Belarus demand that Russia continue to sell gas to them
at one quarter of the price that EU pays and threated to suck off all
the Russian gas destined for EU through their pipelines, as they have
already done
Or Poland demands that Russians eat poisoned Baglade**** elephant dung,
banned in Russia, Ukriane and Germany
Or whatever else Russian moronic feudal and feuding neighbors to the
West invent to spite Russia for the fun of it -
In all such cases, Russia should not argue with them but instead agree
completely, obey their command, and sell its gas to Japan and China
instead, while EU will either freeze to death or get its wish and pay
5 times more for Lybian, Saudi or Venezuelan oil. EU will return to
the nostalgic times of the 19th century, when London was dark 24 hours
per day due to the soot in the air, so romantically depicted by
Monet. Lung doctors and undertakers in Europe will prosper, etc. And
EU will rid itself of the dangers of the notoriously nonexistent
"Russian extremism, terrorism and blackmail" in favour of "benign"
Islamic extremist balckmail and terrorism, which should be no problem
for EU because it will turn Muslim in a few decades anyway.
It's a win-win-win solution:
Russia will sell its gas at twice the current prices without fear of
blackmail from transit countries.
Japan/China/Korea will get energy at half the price they are currently
paying for Middle East gas. And from a reliable seller. And clean gas
instead of poisonous oil.
And EU will get its desire of reducing "dependence" on Russian oil,
will be able to see the air it breethes, will make the vengeful
dwarves from the Baltics and Poland feel extatic ("See! We are so
im****tant that we forced Russia to stop selling its gas to EU! And we
have reduced the population of our other enemy - Germany- by half by
freezing many to death and poisoning the rest with oil fumes!"), and
will let the geniuses from EU to put their money (five times as much!)
where their mouths are and enjoy the wonders of "democratic" vakhabism
and Islamic extremism, which they claim is "more democratic" than the
Russian government, led by Professor Dmitry Medvedev. "the new
Hitler", as they view him in EU and USA.
And USA will be happy too, because weakened Europe will become even
more of a slave to USA.
And so will be all those oil-rich Arab countries and terrorist
groups.
No losers, only winners!
Maybe the entire World should help Russia finish its Far East pipeline
and bring so much happiness to everybody, especially to EU, eh?
- lol. elephant dung from bangladesh?
but seriously though... i hear that rich russians are buying real-estate
in
swanky london areas at a feverish pace. what is to become of them in your
little scenario?
you may also be curious to know that an acquaintance of mine is currently
working in moscow 3 days/week teaching richies how to invest in land
schemes. they asked him what he wanted to get payed and just for fun he
said
"5000 dollars/day". they agreed! that's four times more than he would make
here. to make things even better (for him), he's an alchoholic and loves
vodka!
