Quote:Chalk it up under the not my problem column. Let Russia spend the next three decades trying to "control" the region, they can have the IED, assassinations, coops and suicide bombings hell they can even have all the oil. In the mean time we come home defend our southen border being invaded, invest in alternative energy and drill the hell out of our natural resources. Bet we'd end up better off in the end.

 

Yeah, and Japan was only China's problem too. And Hitler only wanted a little piece of Czechoslovakia. And Stalin really did need to keep Poland.

 

All those were in the "Not My Problem" category.

 

Right up until they weren't.

 

So really, let's not oppose expansionist Russia's move to control the world's chief supply of fuel. Nothing bad will come of that at all.
