This came in an email. The rest is up to you...

Ukraine buys almost all its energy (natural gas) from Russia. Revenues from natural gas sales are a primary source of income for Russia.
?
Because of the recent disagreement between Ukraine and Russia, Russia is raising the price of natural gas it sells to Ukraine.
?
Ukraine is almost broke and can't afford the increase in the natural gas price because it would be forced into bankruptcy.
?
Obama (the USA) just announced the United States is giving Ukraine $1 billion to assist in paying for the higher priced natural gas it buys from Russia.
?
So, the United States is actually giving Russia $1 billion because the money is just passing through Ukraine.

The first question:? Has Putin figured out a way to raise the price of his natural gas sales and make the U.S. pay for the increase??
Next question:?????? Was he really in the KGB or was he a commodities trader?
?
If this analysis is accurate, Putin just got Obama (the USA) to pay him $1 billion by holding a press conference?
and trucking some troops across town from the Russian Navy base in Ukraine.
?
?????????????????????????? Who is the smartest guy in the room now?
?
Oh yes ??I?ll have more flexibility after I am reelected.?

Ukraine owes Russia more than $1B...

Ukraine NG prices are increasing by 40% this year, 40% next year and in total 100%, by 2017.

IMF has already required austerity measures of Ukraine to help them out.

Welcome to Europe, Ukraine...
