Europe not moving away from Russian energy
Sorry that should have been Russia laughing at US based sanctions as they sign new contracts with Europe. Europe has no plans to move away from Russian gas, with major energy projects like South Stream expected to remain in place, according to Reiner Hartmann, Chairman of the Association of European Businesses. The US and EU both have condemned Russian action in Ukraine. The US responded with economic sanctions on banks and individuals thought to be close to Russian President Putin, but Europe's economy is much more closely integrated with Russia's, which has kept tough sanctions off the table. "We are very aware of the situation; that we are in a very comfortable position. We are close to Russian gas fields," Hartmann said on Monday following a meeting at the Association of European Businesses' office in Moscow. Business between European clients and Moscow will continue as usual, Hartmann, Managing Director at E.ON Ruhrgas Russia, said. "And during the past 40 years not one cubic meter of gas was not delivered according to contracts." Ukraine, along with some EU officials, have accused Russia of "gas wars" and of using hydrocarbons as a diplomatic weapon, however, the AEB is able to separate business from politics. "And during the last 40 years Russia also never used gas as a weapon in political issues, etc. And, we believe, this will not be the case in the future," said Hartmann. Europe has said sanctions will come if Russia escalated the conflict beyond Crimea. Pro-Russian Protests swept through eastern Ukraine over the weekend, and on Monday, in Donetsk, protestors declared a 'Donetsk Republic' and asked to hold a Crimea-style referendum. Ukraine’s provisional prime minister accused Russia of stirring sentiment and escalating the conflict. On Tuesday EU and Ukrainian energy officials meet in Brussels to discuss energy security on the continent. At the top of the agenda will be a review of the region's gas storage levels. Moscow turned off gas transit through Ukraine to Europe in the winter of 2006 and 2009 after Kiev failed to pay its Gazprom bill. Following 2006 many European countries increased their storage capacities to protect against future gas wars. And with Russia so isolated, Odumbo assumes his rightful place at the table:

Is the only response that can be had is some sort of ad hominem attack. An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Fallacious Ad hominem reasoning is normally categorized as an informal fallacy, more precisely as a genetic fallacy, a subcategory of fallacies of irrelevance. Ad hominem reasoning is not always fallacious, for example, when it relates to the credibility of statements of fact. But in this case, one has no capability (logically and mentally) to refute any part of the argument, so it just attacks the source. This is normally the technique employed either by the uneducated or the highly indoctrinated rendering them incapable of making a determination of the value of information unless given to them by some authoritative source. So sad really. |

WE NEED TO LEARN TO KEEP OUR NOSE OUT OF OTHER NATIONS AFFAIRS First, it's rude to use all caps. And second, it's not our nose that is involved. It is absolute control by the bankers using their bought and paid for strong arm, the US taxpayer's military. After all, they own the taxpayer, sold to them by Wilson in 1913. |
