Some facts:
1) On Tuesday Ukraine closed off three of the four gas pipelines transiting Russian gas over its territory.
2) On Wednesday Ukraine closed the last pipeline.
3) Russia stopped bothering to send gas to Ukraine since NONE of it would go to the EU.
So bitch and moan at Yushenko and not Russia. They say the truth is the first casualty of war and it sure looks like the west is in a perpetual information war against Russia.
Agreed here for sure. If the US "media handling" of the S. Osetia issue is any indicator, I'd guess that there appears to be some sort of need to re-start the cold war, at least among present administration in US. All media talkers presenting a consistently obviously biased or worse take on the affair. "Georgia attacks S. Ossetia, problem is Russia's fault" indeed! I'm to the point where I only believe BBC, and that only half the time.
Believe the Beeb HALF the time, Len. Blimey! No disrespect but -- aren't you being a bit trusting? Never believe a word of their 'news' and current affairs ouput unless it can be confirmed by somewhere a long way away. Al Jazeerah or Asia Times, maybe, for example.
