It's not so much as to what we have to GAIN, but as to what we stand to lose. Russia is one of our suppliers of natural gas and oil... you think gas prices are high now... just wait.

This entire conflict over there should be reinforcing the dire need for our country to be energy independent (which it could be in several years).
