https://ricochet.com/page/2/Russia’s power rests with being a player in the global energy sector and if we’re stupid enough to demonize carbon based fuels and reduce production, all the better for them. They are not afraid to use the energy ‘weapon’ as they’ve demonstrated in the past when they threatened to cut off supplies to Ukraine during a very cold and deadly winter. Many European countries are very dependent on Russia for energy and the deal done by Chancellor Merkel to allow expansion of the North Steam pipeline which goes entirely through Russian controlled territory will only increase this dependancy. The more energy in the pipeline-pun intended- the lower the price for Russia’s No. 1 export. The last thing Putin wanted was for Trump to be prez-elect. Look at his picks- Tillerman from Exxon to be Sec State, Perry from Texas to be Sec Energy. Look at Trump’s rhetoric on the Dakota access pipeline. A Trump presidency means carbon based energy-friendly policies. In no way is this in Russia’s interest.
