$20bn gas project seized by Russia
Yes, good old free market Putin… certainly that was his grade school nickname, no?
No.
Seems Comrade Putin has now seized a $20bn Shell liquified gas project after Shell believed the “former” KGB tough. But that wasn’t enough, Putin has also declared no more foreign ownership of Russian energy. I can’t say that’s a bad thing except he’s allowed specifically Shell to pour billions into developing resources the Russian government simply did not have the resources to do themselves.
Naturally the past couple of years has put Shell on the “evil corporados” list so I’m sure America will just let it slide on by. Putin will get away with it just as Chavez has.
As the saying goes, you can take the thug out of the KGB….
