RE: So, the deadbeat Finns aren’t going to get Russian natgas for free.
You mean the Russians were giving Finland natgas for free before? Why?
Did they need the charity?
They're getting natural gas, but want to pay for it in euros or dollars, which will be seized and stolen by the West.
Pretending you paid for something when you know that the money is actually NOT going to come out of your bank account is theft.
"Gimme that merchandise. I'll cut you a check and cancel it the minute I take physical possession of what was your stuff."
Sounds deadbeat to me.
