yea i m with you, whiskey, but why do you think Russians are doing this now, what’s the hurry? Isn’t this playing against Obama’s candidacy for instance? That’s what I am not getting I guess, why now? Unless the pipeline has some time factor here, only major time factor I can think of is Iran’s bomb progress, the need to hit Iran before it enriched and stored away enough uranium is pretty urgent. So is it a stretch to think this is an anti-Israel move essentially, a provocation hoping that Israel will give enough of a response to warrant a hit against it (doesnt look like it will)? I don’t know, gotta go reread the Book of Ezekiel.
