1. Who is at fault for their dependence on Russian gas?

2. Who chose sides and instead of staying neutral championed the Ukraine?

How am I supposed to feel about this?

Wait, I know, CNN and MSNBC will tell me, Russia bad. Russia at fault. Hahaha

Europe can send the thank you cards to Joe Biden for him to allow it to happen due to his ideas.

That screaming sound you hear is when a stooge gets an idea now you know why he’s sent home on the weekends and kept in the basement.

I think the Germans should build another wind turbine.

I’m sure that’ll fix the problem.

Isn’t it “breach of contract” if you refuse to pay Russia in the form you previously agreed, too? Was it not dollars that you won’t provide Russia?

Marxists meet reality.

They just ran out of other people’s money.

I’m no fan of Russia, as my sister in law’s family is in Mariupol, but the west seized russia’s assets overseas, the french seized a russian ship on the high seas, and many companies stopped fulfilling contracts to russia on america and the eu’s “sanctions”. Plus we will see a doubling in food prices over the next year. The last time the us went down this road was in the late 30’s when we seized japan’s assets, shut down sale of oil and metal supplies, threatening to destroy Japan’s economy.Also we sent a group of pilot’s over to china as the “ American Volunteer Group” to intervene in the war between Japan and China. Unfortunately it lead to Japan doing a first strike on Hawaii and invading most of the western Pacific. And probably prevented the Russian Japanese war that was brewing at that time. Hopefully history won’t repeat itself and WW3 will not start. But “Hope is not a Method”, (BTW a good read on the 1st Gulf War) .

How’s that “Green Revolution” working out for you, Europe?

Just this morning, I was reading that Russia was going to allow Germany to give their payment to Gazprom in Euros. Was that a temporary thing, or something separate?

Should have worked towards a peaceful end to the invasion instead of arming Ukrainians

Imagine, Putin dealing with the West like a hard-headed businessman! The former KGB lawyer is almost like a capitalist. Putin’s dealing with people the way way we used to (and still do when we’re at our best).

Ruble trading down a good bit from yesterday. Evidently those putting millions of their own money on the line think Pooty’s temper tantrum is a NON STARTER.

Hey, the West holds up Green Energy as their Holy Grail…and gender dystopia as it’s core values.

Let the West live on Green Energy and gender assignment surgery.

It’s a civilization in as much need of total destruction as any other on the ash heap of history.

President Trump offered them an alternative, but they decided to go with the Russian pipeline. Now they are paying the price.

When they say tomorrow (April 1st), I think they are talking about April deliveries. I don’t think that it means making a ruble payment tomorrow, or having the gas shut off tomorrow.

I’d guess that they mean starting with the April bill, payment has to be converted into rubles. I don’t know how they would address exchange rate variations or the additional transaction costs.

In the short term (this year), Putin has the Europeans over a barrel. They will likely seek some sort of fig leaf method of washing the sale through an intermediary - unless they have magically grown a big pair somehow, in which case they would likely take a big economic shock this year.
