Russia currently exports more oil than Saudi Arabia - true. Europe freaked out when they cut it for a week last year. Russia does matter.

There's a lot of bad press about Putin but I think it comes from fear. If I was Russian, I would want him at the helm right now.

Should be interesting to see how this plays out. I'm personally all for people being able to choose their own government/borders.

It's a great excuse for some hightened tension internationally though!
