The Biden Regime and the EU are playing checkers while Putin and Russia are playing chess.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
Putin on Wednesday responded to the economic sanctions from the US and the West.
Russia will now demand that unfriendly nations pay for their much-needed gas in rubles.
Europe gets 40% of its gas supply from Russia. Look for gas prices to surge.
It appears Joe Biden’s handlers’ mission to kill the US Petrodollar is nearly complete.
Via Richard Medhurst:
This rule applies to all “unfriendly” nations.
Russia published a list of 48 “unfriendly” states a few weeks ago which includes the EU, U.S., Japan, Switzerland and Norway. (These are generally countries that have sanctioned Russia in the last weeks).
European gas prices raised as much as 21% in Amsterdam following the news.
Explosive.
Russia is now demanding that Europe pay for gas in rubles.
Europe gets 40% of its gas from Russia. That’s 200-800 million euros per day.
Putin is basically saying: you want to play sanctions? Either pay up in rubles or freeze.
