[ExI] Serious Question

[Bret Kulakovich]

Just look at the puzzle pieces. Azerbaijan is Russian's link to the  
northern boarder of Iran. Making a permanent presence in Azerbaijan  
is critical to Russia to guarantee the flow of resources. To do it  
with approval is a bonus. Russia doesn't want to lose any more  
lucrative oil field access than it already has in the past six years.

Not to mention unfettered access to the so-called "shield"  
technology, which would be housed in a position easily securable by  
Russia in a sudden land-grab if need be.
