27. Pootie needs customers for his gas and oil.

Mar 2014

If I were in the EU, I'd be looking to conserve gas and oil and look elsewhere for supplies.

No one wants to be dependent on someone who doesn't give a flying f about anyone or anything and generally acts like a thug.

No one. Not even the Chinese want to be dependent on someone like that for crucial supplies.

So while Pootie probably feels like a big man right now, he may not feel that way in a few years, because fewer customers will want to give such an unreliable supplier much of their business.
