If that's blackmail, what do they call it when virtually every western corporation under the sun pulls out of Russia, and Russian citizens abroad start getting fired from their jobs if they don't speak out against a guy who might have them assassinated for speaking out?
You're acting like these people have even average intelligence.
Apparently we got all the German rocket scientists, because Germany actually increased their use of Russian gas intentionally so they could use the threat to stop buying to blackmail Russia.
Its like the allies took all of Germany's best and brightest (the ones that they didnt starve in the postwar camps) for themselves, leaving Germany proper a nation of sheep.
Right. Biden, in all of his wisdom, is selling off our strategic oil reserve to offset high fuel prices instead of lifting the restrictions he implemented on the first day of his presidency to squash domestic oil production causing energy prices to rise 60% by November 2021.......while the dark clouds of a global war is on the horizon.
I'm predicting he is going to act very surprised when we have no fuel to conduct that war.
"Try paying American, it's the only currency I understand. In America." -Literally the only defense used against your clearly untenable and preposterous madness of buying things using barter that the receiver wants.
lmao

Sanctions if the US does it.
Blackmail if Russia does it.
Unprovoked invasion when the Russians do it.
Military intervention when the US does it.
No bad tactics, only bad targets.
If you start seizing Russian assets, you can't be surprised when Russia decides they want your gas bill to be paid via a Russian bank.

"Putin better play nice or we'll hurt ourselves"
What the fuck kind of chickenshit idea is that??? Lmao 🤣
Almost as bad as shutting down all your nuclear power plants in favor of solar. I knew that wouldn't work from playing SimCity 2000 as a child.
I put waterfalls on the hillside and a bunch of hydro dams. Didn't have the 50 year replacement cost either.

The customer is not, in fact, always right lol
Putin: "But hey I'll take your rubles. A nigga gotta eat."
Meanwhile the US is willing to starve itself by not selling things to Russia.
Nah, the US is starving Europe rather than itself (I hope).
It'll end up being both, at the rate gas prices are rising.
And Russia will come out with only a scratch.

When was the last time you looked at a chart for fertilizer prices?
"You want us to buy YOUR products in YOUR currency? Outrageous!"

Hahaha get fucked Germany
The Third Reich was smart enough to try to run off German's resources instead of importing them from Russia.
The national socialists actually had quite a few good ideas.
Should have remained power autonomous.
pwned
Germany shouldnt be allowed to exist.
They should've been torn apart after world war 2, never to reunite
German people can exist but not as self governed. Time and Time again they have proven they cannot be trusted with power.
Nah, he's a white male
The things NATO is threatening Russia with, but someone complains about BLACKMAIL???
