    Russia Warned On Natural Gas Dispute 

    Russia Warned on Natural Gas Dispute
    MOSCOW, Jan. 2 -- Several European countries reported sharp drops Monday in the level of natural gas they are receiving from Russia as a dispute over pricing between the state-controlled Gazprom company and Ukraine threatened to damage Russia's reputation with its European customers as much as it hurts Ukraine. Russian natural gas destined for Western Europe transits a pipeline in Ukraine, and a reduction in the amount of gas entering the system from Russia, which was designed to only affect Ukraine, has led to reductions of up to 40 percent in supplies reaching Austria, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia -- all members of the European Union (EU) -- as well as Romania and Croatia.


    Does anyone else besides me notice that there is a serious epidemic of political leaders cutting off their noses to spite their face? First it was Bloomburg in New York City with his callous, foot in mouth statement about union thugs. Now it is Putin and his completely ignorant move to teach Ukraine a lesson for it's velvet revolution. Heavy handed words and actions are backfiring. Hell, there is even some indication of this illness affecting Acme, Inc., though it is hard to tell with all the other quirks and idiosyncracies emanating from the White House these days.
