Exxon Signs Exploration Deal with Russia
Exxon Mobile announced this week that it has signed a deal with Russia's state-run Rosneft oil company to locate and drill for new oil reserves in the Russian Arctic. Rex Tillerson, Exxon's CEO, apparently hasn't learned his lesson about getting into bed with dictators known for seizing assets from private companies it partners with. Tillerson stood proudly next to Vladimir Putin when the announcement was made, the former President, current Prime Minister, and unquestioned dictator of Russia.
