Putin crowned world's energy czar

Russian President Vladimir Putin has become the most influential player in the Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)

The Russian leader is currently “calling all the shots,” one senior OPEC official told Bloomberg

It is being said by officials that Putin is the new top dog calling the shots with OPEC, despite Russia not even being a member. Not only that, but Russia has become China's largest oil provider, overtaking Saudi Arabia - a position that will afford much influence and money to whatever nation holds it, as China is the world's second largest oil consumer behind the United States.
It's often said that wars are about oil and money, and now Russia has both. Could this be part of the reason the MSM is suddenly bombarding us with anti-Russia nonsense and lies? I'm willing to bet TPTB aren't happy with Putin's new role as the "world's energy czar".

This is massive !!

RT has always been on top of news and events in their own way.

The world as we knew it has changed.

Oil is still king of energy.

And what exactly is wrong with maintaining military readiness? It would be absolutely foolish for any country not to.
