Lol! And they're the one's always complaining about us consumerist Americans. Whole lot of good their green, anti-war policies do them! We've got all the oil we need.

EU-- take a hint-- go get some oil from Iraq or something. Only people with balls get oil.

We also have plenty of non gasoline gas.

Glad to see you got the joke. If Atheus didn't have his helmet strapped on so tight, he might have gotten it as well.

Really? Really? Diesel comes from the same pipes...or you mean ethanol? Right that's economically feasible.
What is non-gasoline gas anyways?

I guess they could run it on the collective hot air expelled by all the liberal europeans.

Ukraine did it again!! Another year of heavily subsidized gas, though a bit higher than 2008. Who said stealing is wrong?

Why do we need heating oil? I thought Al Gore's farts were warming the earth.

Well, 20% is not that much compared to the discounts Ukraine is used to getting. It was paying $170 when Europe was paying over $400. Plus it is locked into low transit rates till 2010. Ukrainian economy is a total clusterfvck. They are pretty much dependent on stealing Russian gas to make their inefficient (chemical, steel, etc) industries competitive at all, and for reselling the stolen gas to Europeans to make cash to support the ruling elites. Plus politically they are more ungovernable than California. Russian economy is going to take a big hit from the low natural resource prices, but Ukraine is going to be decimated.

Just got back from there, country's elite is definitely in their own macrocosmos and is now universally hated by middle class and well-to-do people as well, not to mention proletariat
I doubt Yuschenko without security would survive longer on the streets of Kiev, than GWB on the streets of Baghdad. Such a dramatic change public attitude in just 4 years, it's mindboggling.
