troubled waters in the roubled gas…..
The Group of Seven major economies have collectively agreed to reject Moscow’s demand to pay for gas imports from Russia in rubles, according to German Energy Minister Robert Habeck.
“All G7 ministers agreed completely that this [would be] a one-sided and clear breach of the existing contracts,” Habeck told journalists on Monday.
The minister added that “payment in rubles is not acceptable” and that the nations will urge the companies affected “not to follow” the demand issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin last week.
On Monday, Putin ordered the government, the central bank, and Gazprombank to develop the necessary tools to switch all payments for Russian natural gas from “unfriendly states” to rubles from March 31.

Journalists in the United States are not allowed to ask President Joe Biden any questions without first submitting them to the White House, which then writes up the answers that the president reads out with conviction. This arrangement, which is reminiscent of what an authoritarian regime would resort to, is supposed to conceal the failing mental state of the 79-year old president.
Photographs of these cheat sheers are circulating on the web.
Every time the president answered an unscripted question, he spouted nonsense. For example, during his electoral campaign, he stubbornly announced the arrival of his son, Beau, who has been dead for six years. Or, in January 2021, after an unexpected question about high inflation, Joe Biden described it as a “great asset” before swearing at the journalist and calling him a “son of a bitch”.
