LOL! Like our congress?
The Russians are more honest and upfront about it. They make no pretense about virtue. Look what they did to the British Petroleum manager there. Chased him out, and will probably just take evrything. If he squawks too much, he had better check his tea with a gieger counter.
My suspicion is that this whole Georgian war is just to mess up the pipeline so they can continue to bully and blackmail Europe with the Energy Weapon. It's all about money.
