Now we have a date for when the EU’s shit hits the fan…

Prepare to switch to rubles for natural gas exports by March 31, Vladimir Putin tells Gazprom and Russia's central bank

NB: I suggest you go for a BIG supermarket shopping spree before that date (Thursday) because from the following day prices of pretty much everything could double!

As they are in the EU he could also ask them to pay in Euros and I would make them deliver it in cash as the system is blocked with the risk that they could be robbed on the way to pay and they have to pay twice at least.

It is understandable how money can be deposited there, but how did BoZo deliver 6,000 missiles? Planes are not allowed to fly there and trains are not allowed either, so are they puting them in cars and bringing them in accross the border from Polans?

On the one hand the utterly idiotic EU is forever crying about being reliant on Russian gas, and on the other they have set up two dozen hurdles to prevent financial transactions with Russia, so go figure…

All I know is that Putin means what he says and says what he means, so there’s a very good chance that our gas supply could be tuned off on the 1st April… and what an ironic message that would send to the EU, only it won't be a joke!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

We are at the mercy of our BABOONS... :(

A container truck collects the armaments from the nearest Polish airport and drives into the Ukraine which then gets instructed by a Ukrainian to which warehouse to deliver.

But the Russians will no doubt have a dedicated monitoring team using GLONASS so once the armaments get fork-lifted into a warehouse they just click on the location to retrieve the longitude/latitude pair and send it to the Russian airforce!

It’s a pointless exercise.

Oh nice.
We now learned the exchange rate they would be forced to use in their payments.
This one:
https://www.cbr.ru/eng/currency_base/daily/
Not bad 93 Rubles to a dollar. Soon enough the Ruble will be sold at 75 as before, and a couple of months later at 50.

I guess even "friendly" countries would prefer to pay in Rubles for a couple of months

Here’s a funny one, according to the FT... (no link because of paywall)

“Russia no longer demanding Ukraine be ‘denazified’ in ceasefire talks”

Most likely because that’s already been accomplished! :lol:

...more History. "Americans" picking sides; we have seen this all too many times: arms to the very "Them" that Americans like the rest of us deplore.

Yes "Ukrainians" exist.

...note the date of the video; and it is Trump who is President and Mr. Zelinsky is not President of Ukraine.

So it is that Putin can say Nazis thrive in the West because of such collaborators, and in Poland too.

...but what is a Nazi but a "German", in Russia there are "Russians" too.
