[lbo-talk] Putin's Pipeline

[boddi satva]

I was just curious to see if Tovarish Doss had completely sold out to the
Kremlin and everybody was having warm, fuzzy Soviet feelings.

Seems so.

Putin puts up nicely with more barbaric neighbors than Saakashvilli. The
real aim of Russia's war effort is reportedly about 100 miles from the
Russian lines (probably less now) - the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Pipeline.

Putin's Kremlin will steal or destroy this pipeline as surely as they will
steal the BP half of BP-TNK.

Russia is courting absolute disaster with this nonsense.

The answer to dealing with authoritarian regimes in the Eurasian republics
is *not* the establishment of the Putin Union.
