COLD WAR FOR NUTHING AND SHORT SHEETING RUSSIANS VIA CHECHIN / TALABAN BLA BLA CAN HAVE CAUSED ECCNOMIC BLOWBACK & TRIP A WIPEOUT DESPITE BEST LAID PLANS FOR DOWNSIZING ASIA, THEY STILL KEEP SMILING... BLA! BLA ! BLA! COUNT YOUE FINGERS ...

A little news on networkng; Putin now, again, rattles the Euro sabel.

Economically speaking, it's certainly a weapon in the WMD category, only,

one could speculate, far less elusive. Chavez would probably not be

particularly opposed, considering the backers of his wannabe assassins, and

Iran would most likely welcome a sizable reduction in the US war chest. And

Saudi Arabia, with trillions (one in WS and an estimated second trillion in

other financial institutions) of _dollars_ sunk into the US economy? Well,

they're now talking with LUKOil and buying more Airbuses. Princes visit

Moscow. So, if the EU becomes a higher, and more stable, bidder, and Bush

then, no doubt, nervously starts barking about the 28 pages of the 911

report that he never released, things could potentially get much nastier.

Points for trying to slow the Beowulf behemoth are anyways awarded.

Putin: Why Not Price Oil in Euros?

By Catherine Belton

Staff Writer

President Vladimir Putin said Thursday Russia could switch its trade in oil

from dollars to euros, a move that could have far-reaching repercussions for

the global balance of power -- potentially hurting the U.S. dollar and

economy and providing a massive boost to the euro zone.

"We do not rule out that it is possible. That would be interesting for our

European partners," Putin said at a joint news conference with German

Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in the Urals town of Yekaterinburg, where the

two leaders conducted two-day talks.
