Ruminations on Russia

This one is expected to cut across the Caspian and then join up with or parallel the BP-led (or should that be US government led?) Baku-Ceyhan pipeline.  Which passes through what the US like to call the “Freedom Corridor;” north of Iran and south of Russia.  Absurd and ridiculous.
