Some thoughts from leaders, friends, and random passer-bys:
“Aaaaaaah. No gas no gas no gas no gas no gas no gas.”
“Time to cozy up to Putin.”
“Time to protect our interests, like the U.S. does. As soon as we decide on what those interests are – all the while calling for early elections and watching brawls in the capital’s government building on the evening news.”
“Time to make smarmy speeches about human rights abuses in Turkmenistan, all the while conveniently forgetting that human rights have taken a backseat to gas as early as January 2006.”
“Time to raise prices on all the Afghanistan-made, Turkmen-transported heroin.”
“Who the fuck is Turkmenbashi?”
