The “vision” is quite pedestrian and, relative to the challenges and players involved in global geopolitics, carries the equivalent of a high school valedictory address. I just don’t think that a kinder and gentler Empire is going to cut it. However, the notion of “global perestroika” is a deft PR touch. It is much more palatable than Hank Kissinger or Gordon Brown constantly mouthing off about their New World Order.Sebastian Ernst Roninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17577726817981722245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903415.post-20302066332265186402009-06-11T01:42:02.606-07:002009-06-11T01:42:02.606-07:00The Daily Telegraph here in the UK try to talk abo...The Daily Telegraph here in the UK try to talk about falling demand and supplies without mentioning Peak Oil:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/5498287/Is-the-Wests-love-for-oil-receding-for-good.html" rel="nofollow">Is the West's love for oil receding for good</a><br /><br />Mike's map is correct again with these two snippets:<br /><br />"So if the recession is to blame, surely economic recovery will return the oil demand in the US, UK and the rest of Europe to normal?<br /><br />Not according to Christof Ruhl, chief economist at BP. <b>He believes that the high oil price was an exacerbating force behind the recession</b>."<br /><br />and...<br /><br />"Lack of investment in new oil exploration will also push up prices by causing a shortfall in future supply. <b>The problem is not, as many fear, that there is not enough oil in the ground to meet demand, but that many currently identified reserves are too expensive to extract</b> or in politically difficult areas like the Middle East and Russia."Paul Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04071592847668391048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903415.post-949616978943291522009-06-11T00:23:20.670-07:002009-06-11T00:23:20.670-07:00http://rawstory.com/08/news/2009/06/09/mikhail-gor...http://rawstory.com/08/news/2009/06/09/mikhail-gorbachev-calls-for-new-american-revolution/<br />The russians do have a way of telling it like it is.Unlike our own.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415186385167275704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903415.post-26877768485327104642009-06-10T16:31:59.926-07:002009-06-10T16:31:59.926-07:00u r awesome! thanks for the bi-/tri- weekly compil...u r awesome! thanks for the bi-/tri- weekly compilations, very appreciatedpcleddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06050605714525151639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903415.post-48082555773363456172009-06-10T12:06:35.540-07:002009-06-10T12:06:35.540-07:00Speaking of seeking Alpha, check out this link: ht...Speaking of seeking Alpha, check out this link: http://seekingalpha.com/article/141605-the-coming-economic-collapse-part-1?source=article_lb_authorScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376424339005425612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903415.post-28638701817143192692009-06-10T12:05:44.353-07:002009-06-10T12:05:44.353-07:00Thanks for the Seeking Alpha article.
