Your comments were good. Especially liked the parts where you said "This is what's happening, and This is what we should take seriously." A refreshing absence of talking points, generalities and fluff.

A couple of thoughts: Pablo is hard to take seriously as a Director General as he doesn't look old enough to shave. And, god help him, he has hair like Gov. Blagojovich.

Is Prometheus Foundation part of Gazprom? If so, why didn't the moderator say so? (Or perhaps I missed it.)

Next time, a darker suit and a deeper-color tie. Light colors don't TV well.

Glad to find France24 as a potential source of news, as it seems to be interesting. I liked (oh, shallow me!) that the moderator was a good bit less polished and air-brushed than the bobble-heads of American TV. I've no idea if he actually knows any more, mind you, but his very lack of slickness made him seem a bit more "real."
