Fascinating that the EU seems to have done a quid pro quo with Russia - Kyoto approval for WTO membership. The U.S. can't be happy about either right now. Russia inside the WTO could only expand the Brazil-China-G20+ bloc, and if Kyoto goes into full effect, which it will should Russia sign, the U.S. will look even more isolated and weird.
