@emptywheel By NATO/European oil companies? -
@Ali_Gharib Don't even know that it has to be that sophisticated. Tho could just be by US, sharing "intelligence" showing that. -
@emptywheel It's possible certainly. To be honest, it could go either way. -
@Ali_Gharib Wikileaks cables show Saudis legitimately warning abt groundwater probs w/fracking years and years ago. They're right. -
@emptywheel right. And if its happening that doesn't mean NGOs being seeded by Russia are wrong, which is why I'm conflicted. -
@Ali_Gharib I think embracing fracking to get short term leverage over Russia/KSA/Qatar/Iran is dangerous game. -
@emptywheel Agree completely! But I also don't want good western NGOs getting mixed up with Russia, tbh (if they indeed are) -
@Ali_Gharib Is that a more urgent threat than most of our politics being coopted by the Kochs? - 1 more reply

@emptywheel@Ali_Gharib if so, it's very well done. Here too: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/energy/fracking/10911942/Russia-in-secret-plot-against-fracking-Nato-chief-says.html … - FWIW as a fellow Dane I can attest he's insane -
@peterkofod Right. Can't he just insanely spout abt Russian influence like lots of US MoCs insanely spout?@Ali_Gharib
