Gazprom Cuts Gas to Poland and Bulgaria After They Refuse to Pay in Rubles!

I guess maybe y’all folks can… run a gas line from Israel?

RT:

Gazprom, Russia’s main natural gas supplier, has announced a complete halt in gas exports to Bulgaria and Poland on Wednesday after the two countries refused to make payments in rubles. According to a company statement, supplies will not resume until Sofia and Warsaw comply with the new terms.

The Russian energy giant warned that should Bulgaria and Poland start syphoning Russian transit gas intended for other countries, it will reduce supplies by the amount Sofia and Warsaw has illegally withheld.

In a statement early on Wednesday, Gazprom explained that “as of the end of the working day on 26 April, Gazprom Export had not received ruble payments for gas deliveries in April from the companies ‘Bulgargaz’ (Bulgaria) and PGNiG (Poland),” as required under President Vladimir Putin’s decree dated 31 March. The Russian energy giant noted that “payments for gas delivered since 1 April must be made in rubles,” and that both companies were notified of this “in a timely manner.”

It’s springtime now, but Poland and Bulgaria both get very cold.

They don’t have the kind of industry that Germany has and needs this gas for, but you can’t really run a former communist city without gas. They are not built with wood-powered heating and cooking. Even if you were going to somehow use electricity, these buildings are not fitted for that.

Everywhere in the former East Bloc has gas heating.

Poland and Bulgaria are both totally controlled by America, and presumably their leaders were just told “your people are just going to have to deal with this.”

One must wonder: how long will European populations go along with these punishing sanctions, enforced on them by governments controlled by a foreign power?
