For the argument's sake let's do a mind swap and think through the following scenario: it's the start of the last century and UK has - with a help of a con man or two - acquired ("expatriated"?) US oil stocks, locking out the Rockefeller and Co from oil on American soil. Huh?!... Mind you, it would probably be easier to catch US with pants down then than Russia, or anybody for that matter, in the current (start of 21st century) situation. ... Henry Ford was still a couple of years away from Model T and so was US.... Mean to say, rather than painting Putin as the next Khan, it's more proper to see him as a realpolitiker with a clout - that got quite a deal bigger, now that Russian oil is back where it used to be. btw, I'm heating with Gazprom gas...
