Very interesting thoughts in the article. I just can't see a German/Russian Pact. // As for Europe, the US and Saudi Arabia can support any petroleum requirement so I don't see why Europe is solely dependent on Mr. Putin if he is so bad as we have been led to believe by the ultra States-woman, Sec State, Hillary Clinton. Why would Europe have all of its eggs in one basket so to speak./// Lastly, one small issue cited in the article for the US military Aviation community: ("as well as exporting titanium to Boeing (30% of which comes from Russia"). We has an issue getting Apache's back from Phase Maintenance due to the fact that titanium was in very short supply. I'd look at this effecting the current OR % of the fleet as well. If I was still in I would be ordering all the one time bolts I could buy.

SSG Diane R. - In 2006-2008, we could not get titanium bolts for Apache head assemblies so we had to purchase the entire head for 260K. Back then, during the Surge, I thought our civilian leaders and Senior SES members knew what they were doing. I was wrong then. Then we ran out of HellFire Missiles, 30mm, flechettes, 2.75 rockets and I could go on. We were actually dropping training model HF missiles on Insurgents because that was all we could get. I think that was the C or D model. The leaders of the Industrial Base were 2 years behind in supporting the war. They weren't up 20 hrs a day. They worked 8 hrs on, 16 hrs off. My guess is today its worse. Now, don't get me wrong. I am certain that they have been busy working on Diversity and Inclusion initiatives. But the small stuff, the stuff needed for wars. I'm certain that is lagging behind.
