Russia's use of energy resources to apply the squeeze on NATO is worthy of emulation. The Yanks may not be very happy with Russia leaving out Europe in the cold and then coming to the rescue

I suspect that the Germans and French will start siding with the Russians on NATO expansion, Obama's silver tongue notwithstanding. Russia coming back is good overall - not because I like them, but because it will curb Han imperialism in Central Asia
