It's making people flip out over the security of European gas supplies. Prices have been rocketing. Russia supplies 40%+ of Europe's gas so not only do they stand to profit directly from instability, they can leverage a threat of cutting the supply entirely for political and security gain. Might be less believable if we hadn't just seen this same play performed in the Persian gulf.
