The importance to study the Russo-European-Caucasus case flows from the fact the impact on trade and money movement.

Trade:
Ukraine wanted to boost grain production and profit form proximity to the markets, thus undercutting other producers with higher cots shipping. Political instability in the region undermines that goal as investments do not flow in. That benefits traditional grain producers in stable areas of the world.

Money: Investment in developing Caucasus infrastructure, to tap into the energy riches is now further undermined by the instability of that region. Therefore adding to the lifting costs of the gas and oil there.
You need to pay for a task force to be floating in the area to guarantee the oil and gas coming.

In short: the whole region being Iranianized!

That benefits the areas of the world that are stable even if the energy sources are more expensive: pre-salt oil, Oil sands and bio-diesel to name a few.

r, you know me, perhaps even shared food and drink and laughter with me, and maybe you know that i am just taking break time to stir the pot, as the pot needed stirring, for the porridge on the bottom closest to the flame was getting chewy

traveling to beijing thursday, and party amongst family is set for sunday

enough of them had never met each other

and there are enough very distantly related 21 - 25 years old boys and girls to attend, all handsome or beautiful, thoughtful and vivacious

let us see which ones ask about the link to the trunk of the tree and its various distant branches

just stirring the pot :0)

what fun
