[War_ooc] An oil company...with its own army...

[Daniel Garcia]

I might point out that we're talking about a state owned company  
here, and one that it's at least alleged is a tool firmly in the  
hands of the Kremlin.  If we were talking about someone along the  
lines of, say, Yukos (as an instance, though admittedly they've come  
way down and I'm not sure they exist anymore), then yeah I'd worry.   
Gazprom, not so much.  Whether the gun's in the left hand or right  
hand, the same person's holding it.
