The true part is Russia has not turned off the tap to any country yet. They have now told everyone that they need to pay either in real money (gold) or in Russian money as the world have cut them off the SWIFT payment system as dollars, and Euros are no good to them. They have even made their bond interest payment. And with what the US has said they can send is only going to make a few freeze to death a little slower. Russia is fighting to push the Neo Nazis put of Ukraine, why does this make them the bad guy as we all know what the Nazis did in WWII. And if it was not for Russia fighting and beating them back to the German border in WWII, you might be speaking a differnt native language
