The actual deadline is April 1 - Pay in rubles, or the gas is getting cut NOW. Not accepting candy wrappers anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomasz + 1,608 March 28, 2022 The collective West was so anxious to encircle Russia with NATO military bases that it finally achieved the following. It is expected that the great China-Russia-Iran-Pakistan alliance will be established with India, favorably disposed towards Russia. In fact, what the West has achieved over the last 30 years with the neverending incessant pressure to expand its sphere of influence is that, despite Putin's initial interest in cooperating with the West, you de facto left him no choice but to co-operate closely with China. You have left Russia no choice, so please do not be surprised now that Russia has opted for China. With the attitude of the collective West for 30 years, there is simply no other choice. Is really neverending NATO expansion worth a price of sino-russian alliance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I think that all of this is part of a deeper plan globally... to usher in Digital Currencies and further control populations. The U.S. knows quite well that it is destroying the dollar dominance. It is like the book 1984, where "we are at war with ______". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every move Russia makes is countered by the US and has been since WWII. We call it proportional response. Y’all just to busy talking smack to listen. Russian politics is as smart as their Generals.

The US and India understand this, which is why the US is playing the long game with India: https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/us-sanctions-on-india-for-buying-russian-s-400-missiles-unlikely-122032300516_1.html Keep in mind that it wasn't long ago when India was completely reliant on Russian arms, and it's already gone down a lot: https://sipri.org/sites/default/files/2021-03/fs_2103_at_2020.pdf The overall decrease in Russia’s arms exports between 2011–15 and 2016–20 was almost entirely attributable to a 53 per cent drop in its arms exports to India.” This reduction has brought down “its [Russian] share of total Indian arms imports from 70 to 49 per cent.” Pretty much every industry in Russia is going to get bled dry except for resource extraction.

There is no sense for Russia to get paid in currency that might be blocked or frozen. Not at all If you dont want rouble you can paid in gold. But phisical one not paper one because this can also be blocked. West for too long get used to sanction small countries that cant take countermeasures.
