I don’t really blame Russia for wanting their money.

Russia could stop all flow through the pipelines and just sit back and watch the EU find the money to pay the gas bill.

I just hope we in the US don’t wind up paying the gas bill.

Ukraine have pumped gas in reservoirs beforehand and can last some months without problems. Problem is with gas for functioning transport system, price of question is circa 3-4 bln $$. Before that Ukrainian company Naftogas somehow settled this, today Gasprom proposed to EU pump needed quantity to Ukrainian reservoirs, not for free, of course.

I heard in the USA collection agencies take off debtors property including homes, even can place them to prison. See no reason why Russia must act different, must subsidize hostile regime.
