They used to accuse the Georgians of sheltering Chechen separatists which is apparently true.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand they have daily attacks in Ingushetia. Another thing is that they said that the bus was destroyed by a suicide bomber. The Georgians don't do these things. They are Christians.Nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952955021226297401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24622549.post-30960502086374234822008-11-06T16:03:00.000-08:002008-11-06T16:03:00.000-08:00I saw the reports of a bombing in Vladikavkaz.

Without their rainy day funds they would have collapsed by now. They still have something around 500 billion dollars, but this is down from 600 and it does not look like their bailouts work. At this rate they may run within a year through all their funds. Never mind that they seem to be heading fast towards another war in the Caucasus, this time in Ingushetia.Nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952955021226297401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24622549.post-68326660006268998372008-11-06T10:59:00.000-08:002008-11-06T10:59:00.000-08:00Yah, but I don't see the Chinese or Indian navies ...Yah, but I don't see the Chinese or Indian navies securing strategic shipping lanes.Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03465114506715277544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24622549.post-67992409041235949012008-11-06T10:31:00.000-08:002008-11-06T10:31:00.000-08:00Well.

First the Yankees have wrecked themselves, then by the Domino effect half of the world went down taking with it the price of oil and energy markets. In this sense you can say that the US is getting too unpredictable to allow <EM>the steady flow of oil</EM>. Next we may have to watch Obama's attempt to do something about alternative energies though I am not holding my breath. <BR/><BR/>At least with the Chinese and Indians you can be sure that the oil demand will keep growing steadily, let alone that both are still subsidizing oil products for their domestic markets. Some predictability at least.Nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952955021226297401noreply@blogger.com
