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.

Our nation became a circus with Covid in 2020. The news media became the public relations firm of a government that decides what you don't need to know, and how to slant what you do need to know. Blog motto: "Is that true, or did you read it in the New York Times?" ... “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.” ...
