And here you have it, one of the results of this war and Ukraine's fate after it will be deciding how much of Black Sea exactly will be Russia's backyard.Sure, sure, please enlighten me, oh self-proclaimed expert in everything.
Sure, sure, pipelines leading to nowhere, since the Russians would not let you drill for oil in their back yard after you try and take so much of what they see as their and with good reason.
The other major players probably being Turkey and China, with them having more interest in getting the oil flowing through their territory, e.g. something akin to Nabucco, or the other way towards China.
What is this, a networking theory 101 exam?Now the pole thinks it is an expert in network cables, too.
Tell me, what is the difference between packet and circuit switching and between a hub and a switch?
Who the hell uses hubs anymore these days. Some scrooge i guess.
Yeah, digging for random crap is what oil companies will keep doing.The End Of The Century-Old Black Sea Drilling Dream.
Turkey tried for over 50 years.
Russia tried, Romania tried, we tried, Exxon and a bunch of other western companies tried.
If there was a major oil field under there,don't you think that we would have found it already?
Keep dreaming and digging for random crap to justify your nonsense.
"Don't look for oil and gas, if there was any it would be found already" is a pretty bad case of not having a clue, the whole bloody point of exploratory drilling is to find what wasn't found before, and you can't know for sure until you try, if no one did it the "proven reserves" would never increase and the peak oil doomsayers would be inherently right. The legal and security risks of "Russian world" are pretty high on the list of reasons why this area is still poorly explored.
Ah, so the 2001 census was a bullshit pool lead by nazis?This map probably shows the pro and anti-Russia sentiments best.
The fact that the neo-nazis and western media have been suppressing them and manufacturing bullshit polls is irrelevant.
It does show that the scale of existence of pro-Russian sentiment is highly variable depending on the unobstructed, continuing operation of Russian propaganda and perhaps other tricks too. Why does this sentiment disappear so mysteriously in other years, when there is no extended effort (or ability to do it) related to glorious Russian world taking over from le evil western pawns?
As i said, if Putin and his advisors took this quite... optimistic assessment you present here seriously, which is quite likely, that explains their current mistake. Unfortunately for them, its quite optimistic even for 2010, and they can only wish it was 2010 again when it comes to the support they have, as that was before Russia's recent slights against Ukraine happened, revealing quite a few vital pieces of information about how Russia views the relationship, that were not exactly making Russia look good. The liberal application of "beatings will continue until morale improves" strategy to Ukraine really did a number on Russia's popularity there.
