"Russia is using its military power and ability to intimidate small nations to take over control of their energy resources. "

Shame on them. Not fair of them. What room shall we send them to?

"Russia supplies the EU with a third of its oil and 40 percent of its natural gas — a dependence the European Commission says will rise significantly in the future."

They should just give it away, as did Belgium with the Congo's resources and as the British, the Dutch, the Germans, the Spanish, the Portuguese and French did with whatever they grabbed wherever they could. They are all civilized.

"Russia controls westward export pipelines for gas from Turkmenistan, which has the largest reserves in the former Soviet Union after Russia and produced around 73 billion cubic meters last year. According to official figures, Russia currently buys around 70 percent of its gas . . . Energy-hungry China has also sought a cut of Turkmenistan's gas wealth, reaching a deal to build a natural gas pipeline that is to come on line in 2009.

Turkmenistan has agreed to boost the agreed exports to China to 40 billion cubic meters annually . . ."

Central Asia's energy is the prize: who will send their young men to die there to get it? It's not exactly within the US "sphere of influence," is it? I'll wager that Brerzinski would send your young male relatives, and mine, to do the job, if he can't recruit some of those "Muslim terrorists" to do it for US, as he did in Afghanistan.
