| Quote: | July 15 (Bloomberg) -- German Economy Minister Michael Glos pressed Russian government ministers about a drop in oil shipments after the Czech government agreed to participate in a planned U.S. anti-missile shield.
``I made it clear that in our view political misconduct as perceived by the Russians shouldn't be answered with economic pinpricks,'' Glos told reporters in Moscow today in response to a question about the Czech supply cut. ``Those aren't the standards we value in the European Union.''
Russia decreased oil deliveries to the Czech Republic last week, raising concern the supply cut was related to the Czech government's signing on July 8 of an agreement to host a radar station for the U.S. missile-defense system. Russian officials said the reasons for the drop were commercial.
While Glos said it ``appears'' the decline was ``a normal business operation,'' he said he was bringing it up in talks today with his counterpart Elvira Nabiullina and Industry Minister Viktor Khristenko. Glos met the new Russian energy minister, Sergei Shmatko, yesterday. |

Douchebags in the EU are just as hypocritical as those in the U.S..
You sign an agreement to set up a missile station on their border with the U.S. in control, and you are then upset when they won't sell you oil?

Whats with those EU people complaining to Russia? If they want to buy oil and natural gas from Russia, then of course they have to do what Russia tells them to do, or Russia will punish them.
How much clearer can it be?  |

No such place. There is Slovakia and there is the Czech Republic.
Czechoslovakia was a sovereign state in Central Europe that existed from October 1918 until 1992. On January 1, 1993, Czechoslovakia peacefully split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
