The "war for energy" started about a century ago, e.g. when the Brits split Kuwait off from Iraq (to guarantee their access to the oil fields that were then easily accessible) and occupied Iraq. At the same time, places like Venezuela were already oil-colonial projects of the US. These types of projects go on continuously. For example, much of the fuss about Darfur is motivated by access to oil (currently under Chinese control), whereas nothing is said in the West abut the vicious dictatorship in Equatorial Guinea (where western oil companies operate).
That Russia (and China) can compete for "control" is a product of smaller nations wanting to preserve as much of their independence as possible.
That this is characterized as a "war" is very convenient for keeping docile populations under the control of elites.

Ah, yes. And just think how much better it will be when "I know how to win wars" John McLame gets on board.

It is more complicated than just that. Ever since the time of Stalin's jews, the zionists have had very good connections in Russia.

Russian Jewish Organized Crime
... By all accounts, Israel has become a haven for the Mafiya and a base for their international operations. Mob moguls are in residence as respected businessmen. Jonathan Winer, a former State Department expert, states categorically that, "There is not a major Russian organized crime figure whom we are tracking who does not carry an Israeli passport."..

When you look like an oil grabbing tyrant, it would make sense for other nations to band together to secure their needs but in the end it's about which oil company will rule the world.

I think Obama will be inheriting a disaster- a scorched earth left behind by an incompetent buffoon.
The only way he can rebuild is by signing an executive order suspending ALL executive orders and findings signed by Dumbya. Then looking at each one as the need arises will give him a clean start and a much better chance to bring this country back to life again.
The damage is TOTAL and devastating!
