What? Hillary said something sensible??! tell me it's not so!
Too late now, but back in the 1980s, right after the breakup of the Soviet Union, we shoulda swung a long-term deal to buy Russian oil (and other raw materials) on the cheap... oil prices were at a low point and Russia was loaded with oil and minerals, but strapped for cash. It's a relatively short hop from the Trans-Siberia pipeline to the Alaska pipeline (or even our West Coast), and we could have thumbed our noses at high-priced Arab oil for decades to come, while conserving our own resources against future need.
