Bush was the worst American idiot to come along in a long time so nothing he said can be taken seriously.
It can be argued that by cutting oil production GCC countries are manipulating commodity prices so Russia is just taking an extreme position.
As far as Russia and Ukraine goes. Russians controlled the wheat supply and storage (a commodity) in the 1930's causing a famine and starvation of 7 million Ukrainians. Russia has always been the most brutal major empire and continues to aspire to return to that status. So now after a century of raping Ukraine of natural resources and killing her people the Russians are cutting gas. Just par for the course for the monsters in Moscow. They would love to get Ukraine back and have every intention of doing so. The gas is just an excuse to cause harm to Ukraine and weaken the people. The supply of gas is being used as a weapon just as the supply of wheat was used as a weapon.
One of the worst things the Bush morons did was force Ukraine to give up nuclear arms for American aid. A nuclear Ukraine would not be treated so poorly by Russia. Without nuclear arms no attack can be mounted. Russia does not care about world opinion.
Wars have been fought over commodities since time began. No reason to think that will change as the planet is grossly overpopulated.
