Mitt pissing Putin off

Foreign Policy magazine, a mostly conservative publication has an interesting article.  They are saying Mitt is really pissing Russia's Putin off with his campaign speeches belittling Russia and boasting of trashing treaties and confrontation.  They suggest Putin holds a grudge and would love to find a flare up that he can come out on top of, even at great cost.  Should the Mitt become the Outsourcer in Chief, Foreign Policy believes Russia will be confrontational in every aspect.  Slum Dog Millionaire should shut up is their theme.

Whats at risk, he could shut off about 30% of the natural gas used in Europe, and few people know but Russia has almost all the worlds titanium, and controls its market.  Russia makes the titanium forgings that go in all US fighters made.  Every week containers arrive at Lockheed and Boeing from Russia.  Without Russian titanium nearly all large aircraft and all military aircraft production ends.
