Default Russia may restrict oil production and exports

Yeah right! Russia's only significant export product. Just like the Peter
the Great, Russian officials are always running around shooting off their
mouthes but nothing but BS comes out.


I don't know, it brings up an interesting economic point, one I'm unqualified
to answer...but I'll give it a shot. OPEC usually reduces production to freeze
falling oil prices, or increase oil prices. I'm not exactly sure how much you
restrict in order to raise prices enough not to lose money on a reduced export,
but it obviously works for OPEC. In Russias case, it may be even more
benificial as their production and transportation costs are much higher than
any OPEC nation; thus controlling oil exports in order to control prices may be
in Russias best interest.
