Isn't it funny how some people have billions of dollars while some have to drink out of the same barrels with cattle and scrape roadkill for a decent meal? Talk about life being unfair. Proof there is no god.

Russia's recent economic prosperity is mostly based on the fact that the price of oil in the world is very high. Russia is one of the major exporters of oil. In order to maintain economic prosperity and social stability in Russia the ruling elite in Moscow is prepared to do everythinh to keep the oil prices as high as possible. What is the cheapest and most effective way of doing that? The answer is simple: To destabilize the situation in some oil-producing countries of the Third World. Nigeria is the easiest target: All it takes to destabilize it is to give a few milliion dollars to the secretive rebel group that operates in the Niger Delta. Because of its activities, about 30 percent of the Nigerian oil can not be delivered to the markets, which is one of the reasons for the high prices of oil in the world. It would be stupid for Russians not to help the rebels. I repeat: this is the CHEAPEST way for the greedy Russian elite to stay in power. Do you agree?

Between being easily replaced (like with hydrogen in Japan or alcohol for combustion engines) AND forcibly phased out by governments worried about global climate change AND supporting less than savory regimes worldwide it would seem to me that the lobbiest underpinnings that are holding the price of oil artificially high are ready to snap. Even BP announced yesterday it is only spending 20 billion a year on oil development for the next ten years. It seems like a lot but it is one fifth of one quarters profits. If they really saw oil as a good investment why aren't they investing everything in it? Instead they are buying back their stock. Can anyone see oil as being anything but worthless 25 years from now?
