  1. Well - How honest has Russia been about honoring it's agreements? Seems like there is a lot of industry they seized or rendered deals null and void. Rendering deals with Russia about their gas null and void seems more than fair given their behavior. In fact, it seems like a wise practice.

  2. Good Video - Isn't it rather curious that the largest country in the world which proclaimed itself Communist when I was a kid essentially was using Capitalism as their weapon? By thinking they had a monopoly on gas supplies, they thought they could control people. They were a bit akin to the US robber barons of the 19th century. Capitalists sometimes misjudge people's yearning for freedom. It ain't all about money, you know.

  3. It sure seems like an opportunity for the rest of the world to step up.

  4.  @chipsalom  The lady told me that at the Dollar Store when we discussed higher prices. Capitalism doesn't necessarily lead to freedom either. Russia isn't the only threat to the world. Big businesses are sometimes also a threat to freedom. "Freedom isn't free" - it requires regulations. Finns are smart!

  5. How long before they decide to compromise? Maybe a month?
