I’m not sure at all if this is really a EU/Ukraine Russia gas problem, I think at its core its also a Euro Dollar war and that means that Ukraine has really got itself into a hard place. When gas is cut to Europe, is that all anti Russian, or is that also the Dollar having a go at the Euro? This is one crazy world! I think it has more to do with the latter than the former. What I wanted to say is why don’t you take it further, let Ukraine trade on the Ruble for ‘their’ gas, and give them a Ruble loan they can't refuse. That will immediately turn into some kind of food for gas trading scheme, and open many other doors, besides its also a nice thing to do as Ukraine’s mentally retarded leaders now take their poor damn people into winter. This up coming election is certainly going to be something to behold, hopefully Ukraine doesn’t pull itself apart completely. It should already be obvious to them by now that those ‘easy’ IMF loans create money slaves.
