So... Putin humself saying nationalization laws hurt oil production is losing the nationalization arguement...

When did he say this? Give me a quote, I'm to lazy to subsribe for WSJ just for that.

I mean your arguement here seems to be "Putin didn't hurt Russian Oil production by re-nationalization because renationalization doesn't always mean oil production is hurt, even though he clearly hurt investor confidence, and even signed laws that have kept oil companies from finding, which he himself admits."

For starters it'd be great if you could counter hard facts I presented of oil production and investement goes up in order to make your point more effectively. Nor you defined in any way what did you mean by oil industry re-nationalization? Give me facts, when and what's been nationalized, value of nationalized assets, overal size of the industry at the time etc. Otherwise no point in continuing the discussion.


A  point you yourself are now argueing.

How about you stating your point clearly? I'm tired of thinking what you could have meant by this or that?
