How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

On the top of it Russia-bound assets of western oil companies operating there would be confiscated.

Not all Western payments. Only the ones of countries stupid enough to play Yankee ball.

I've heard discussion of freezing the assets of Russia in the US was on the table. They may freeze their crude exports to answer such a freeze, or are they too hooked on the dollar to do such a thing? ...

Very very interesting. Has anyone seen a link from the "West" that verifies the supposed UN observer report that Georgia started the attack in Ossetia?

How about the British Broadcasting Corporatio ...

But to shoot-down US military humanitarian planes, would be a considerable escalation.
And what, pray tell, would the USAF do if "humanitarian" planes from Iran were making a beeline for Iraq?

Russia May Focus on Pro-U.S. Ukraine After Georgia

There's no question it's not in Russia's interests to see Ukraine accede to NATO. What it comes down to is this: is it more important to us that ...

Nothing will happen with this. There will be some useless hand-wringing and Washington but there is nothing that the US can do it about it.
