It'll be the heart of the world industry in the near future. It needs a lot of energy (oil and gas). Wouldn't be more interesting for Russia to export all its energy to China and Japan? in this case, there won't be transit taxes, no problem of negociations (like with Ukraine). Exporting oil and gas towards Europe costs a lot in transit taxes. pipelines go accross a lot of countries before they reach western Europe (the big consummers). Transit taxes is waste of money. It would be more profitable for Russia to export energy to China and Japan. What do you think?

I don't think Medvedev will do such stupidity, even if he threat the EU from time to time, but everybody knows it's not serious. Russia has too much to loose making EU angry.

If I were president I would have started building of a new routes for a gas right after first sign of licking the ass of the USA by Ukrainian president Yuschenko. Unfortunately our rulers are too lazy. They are quick when it comes to blame U.S. (hey, it's a cheap thing to say a few words into a camera) but they are slow and reluctant when it is necessary to do something really useful for the country.

Russia should keep these reserves of gas for its domestic use and its national industry (production of steel, cupfer etc...) Reducing gas export toward Europe could contribute to reduce the European Union GDP and CO2 emission. it's good for the envirenment
