The Washington and Brussels Gang can say anything they want, because
they are the ones doing the exact same thing, breaking contracts at
their whims and fancies.
Take Huawei for example. What contracts
have Huawei made with the USA and all the White countries and in one
fell swoop they tear away all those contracts. There were also other
contracts made between USA and Chinese tech companies and subsequently
binned using one 'Executive Order'. And they still claim such USA
companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Intel have no connection to
the USA Government? Kidding grandmothers? Oh yes, it is due to security
reasons, of which not one shred of evidence or proof has surfaced.
What
is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander. Not only can Putin
demand payments in Rubles, he could even cut off Nord Steam 1, saying
that selling oil and gas to the unfriendly EU states are a security
threat to Russia. It is in fact a security threat, knowing that Russian
oil and gas are being used or helping to manufacture weapons and run
tanks which are sent to Ukraine. The proof and connection is
irrefutable, unlike the narrative on Huawei, that have yet to be proven.
Putin
has already drafted legislation to prevent Western companies disposing
of their assets in Russia and moving out the proceeds of such disposals
out of Russia. This is as legitimate as the USA and the Western
countries freezing the assets of the Russian Central Bank and it's
Oligarchs from moving out of the West. The sword can cut both ways.

Japan is going to find out the cost of being designated as an unfriendly country by Russia. Oil will play an important part. Russia will also make life really difficult for Japan over the disputed Kuril Islands.
ReplyDeleteJapan holds the largest amount of US$ Treasuries, but the Japanese Yen is now seen to be not as safe a haven to keep as a reserve, unlike few years ago.
Kim Jong Urn is smart, firing his missiles as a signal to the new South Korean President to sleep well. He knows this new President is pro-USA and likely to continue with military exercises with the USA close to North Korea. He has sent his signal.
