Remember the "Russia is just a gas station" rhetoric? Well the thing about gas stations is it's "just a gas station" until your car is low on gas and there aren't any around. Then it becomes rather important that you find one.
“It’s just a gas station.”
“You’re not even a real bank.”
Its Maam!
It's almost as if money is just a piece of paper and commodities like natural gas and crude oil have real value.
I believe Putin even made this exact point recently in a speech.
