Germany is paying in Rubles……they’re just pretending it isn’t that by paying the Gasprom bank in Germany.

Pooty Poot is sending these demands and orders from his Führerbunker in the Ural Mountains.

Just pay for it in rubles if you want it. You don’t always get what you want especially when you hang around Joe Biden and do stupid things he tells you..

Can someone explain the issue here? Contracts should be honored. If the contracts were for euros then I can see an argument. If they paid in rubles what would establish the exchange rate? If they paid in rubles are they violating a sanction? Is Putin trying to prop up his currency? What’s the real deal?

Whatever it is, Europe was stupid to become dependent on Russian gas and oil.

“I am on Putin’s side on this issue, they deserve it for getting in bed with him in the first place.”

Reminds me of the true President Donald Trump’s story he tells about “you knew I was a snake”.

Bluffing goes both ways. Russia needs that money. They need to sell their gas and oil. Especially when they are getting a lot for it.

Megalomaniac Fake Tsar Pooty Poot will have to temper his arrogant demands, as world oil prices head downward >>>>WTI Futures >>>>> $100.96

What are rules here? Do we believe the Daily mail on everything except Ukraine, or only every other day?

We are told on every thread on Ukraine/Russia, the Daily mail is propaganda, a joke, scam...
