#1 Hmmm. Oil prices down 23%. Russia a major oil exporter. Trash this terminal/pipeline and take 1 MMBO/D of non-Russian oil out of the world market place. What happens to prices for Russian oil? Not likely the driving factor of the Georgian invasion, but quite a fringe benefit.

#3 Depends on what you break. Or catch on fire. A pipeline, just a few days. A loading dock, maybe months. Not to mention cleaning up a mess so you can even start to work. Also depends on not shooting the workers.
