?The jealous and intolerant eye of the Kremlin can distinguish, in the end, only vassals and enemies, and the neighbors of Russia, if they do not wish to be one, must reconcile themselves to being the other.?
?It would be useful to the Western world to realize that despite all the vicissitudes by which Russia has been afflicted since August 1939, the men in the Kremlin have never abandoned their faith in that program of territorial and political expansion which had once commended itself so strongly to Tsarist diplomatists.?

Russia Issues Subtle Threats More Far-Reaching Than a Ukraine Invasion

It appears recently that a nuclear deal with Iran can be achieved, which would then open up Iranian natural gas to the European market. Also, the Kremlin mentioned staging nuclear weapons in Venezuela. It might be prudent to approach Venezuela and make a natural gas deal given that its reserves are rated at #8 in the world to take the Russian place as one of Europe's gas suppliers.

shipments of NLAWs or whatever through German-controlled airspace, forcing the C-17s to fly around and route over Poland to Ukraine. So much for NATO "friendly" relations
