If the Russians would do this one thing then the west would stop the nonsense

[midnight rambler]

The nonsense from the Satan worshippers at NATO would stop instantly if the Russians simply shut off their natural gas. Would in the world would ANYONE provide resources to an enemy who then (indirectly) uses those very same resources to hurt your nation?? Poland and Bulgaria are now getting Russian natural gas when Russia doesn't want them having Russian natural gas. If it were up to me I would give notice and begin throttling back the flow until there wasn't enough left gas to light a pilot light, THAT would make the assholes straighten up. I cannot comprehend why the Russians are not doing this. Some may bring up "the Russians would be in breach of contract!" Right. Was a contract broken when Russia's overseas reserves were absconded with??

The usual suspects make up the rules as they go along, perhaps there's a lesson there for Russia.

The west is voluntarily disarming itself right now.

They are being baited to bleed off their armories to one of the most poor and corrupt places there is.

If they cut the gas then it might provoke an open military conflict. But in the current situation they are are content to blow up warehouses with billions of dollars of aid as it arrives.
