Because there is mutual benefit there.

Otherwise, Russia can retaliate and place their own sanctions and stop selling Oil & Gas to Europe & US….case close!

That will be suicide mission by Russia.

Comedy!

That’s just shooting yourself in the leg!

So where will they diversify to, to make up for that?

Start selling the gas to themselves?

It will ONLY make matters worst!

Nigeria and Canada have capacity to sustain Europe

Saudi Arabia can sustain with oil and replace Russia completely

Exxon Mobil left Russia already so that should tell nothing spectacular about their energy.

I'm not a lover of war. But, where was the world when Israel was bombing Gaza and other nations?

When America was crippling Iran, where was the world?

So Russia is the first?

Good question!

You see, this world is set up and run by the West- white people.

Except few countries in Asia and Russia, the rest of the world remain slaves to the West till this very moment. That's why they get so much support even though Russia is fighting a just cause.

But white people have killed millions of people across the world and got no sanctions.

They dissociate themselves from what their leader is doing and a Nigeria is behind him? Why have we mortgaged our brains and filled it up with cow's dung?

No nation is an island, you need other countries to trade... Even those 14 countries you mentioned will they want a rubble that's value is at an all time low?

People always forget the west created a system for themselves to prosper, others keyed into it because they saw then prospering.

Even china has had similar stuff for years... Economy and money is all about the faith people have in it.

Authoritarians can never truly have true friends because the friends know they can't impose such on their people.

They will only act as friends and pay lip services just as Africa and wider world is doing with china just to get loan.

The west have a system and a way of life and as you can see they won't trade that for anything....

For clarity sake those websites and countries accepting мир mir atm cards charge payments for goods tagged in Dollars $ or their local national currency
So when you type in your mir atm card number, expiration date and Security code on the reverse side, the rubles equibalent of the goods priced in dollar is debited. No matter the exchange rate.even if the ruble is at an all time low or even if 1million rubles equals one dollar or lmilljon rubles equal the second country local currency.

Eg l am buying a shoe of $15 or yuan on aliexpress, once l enter my mir atm card details, the equivalent amount of rubles is debited automatically at the exchange rate for that day, whether ruble is at an all time low or all time high.
P.S A TYPICAL RUSSIAN BANK ISSUES THREE 3 ATMS TO A CUSTOMER.
VISA ATM, MASTERCARD ATM AND MIR ATM

MIR spelt МИР in Russian language TRANSLATES TO WORLD

Putin has turned Russia into a pariah state. His only hope is to takeover kyiv as quickly as possible. If he doesn't within a month. Russia's economy would be highly damaged.


Taking Kyiv will not improve Russia's economy. Taking Kyiv will even lead to more sanctions. The best option for Putin now is to eat the humble pie and end the invasion.

I don't understand you people. like do you guys just talk for the sake of talking?

So Russia and Putin are now nuclear proof or is it only them that can launch it.

This is how the USSR was behaving, any little thing they threaten nuclear, the day America called their bluff and was ready to go nuclear for nuclear, what happened?
They mellowed and gave in to America's demand of removing missiles from Cuba.

People that make noise too much have been proven by study to be cowards actually.

Are sure you do know how international transactions work?

MIR has to be backed by a bank, they don't just exist out of thin air to make approve payments.

Using your example. You bank with ABC bank and they issue you an MiR card, once you use that card to make payment, the bank act as a guarantor for you by telling the foreign bank that you're good for the money. The MiR is just a exchange platform that quickens the process by acting as a surety. If your bank is cut off from international payment platform there's no way that transaction is going through.

Before VISA Mastercard and the rest, it usually took weeks for international exchange to be confirmed they just make the process quicker not that they do the actual conversion

Oga I AM BASED IN RUSSIA
I MAKE PURCHASES ON ALIEXPRESS WITH MY MIR ATM CARD FOR GOODS TAGGED IN DOLLARS
Mir is LOCAL TO RUSSIA
SO EVEN IF WESTERN VISA AND MASTERCARD CUT OFF, AND PACK AWAY,
WE CAN STILL MAKE INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES ON GLOBAL SITES from the 14 14 countries ACCEPTING MIR ATM **if things escalate, russian sites will stop accepting VISA ANDMASTRCARD ATMS FOR PAYMENT TO RETALIATE**
P.S. NOBODY CAN CUT OFF MIR COS IT IS BASED IN RUSSIA TO RIVAL AND COMPETE WITH VISA AND MASTERCARD system.

ANYTHING THE VISA AND MASTERCARD CAN DO,,, THE MIR ATM CARD CAN TOO.
JUST THAT THE WESTERN WORLD WANTS TO STAY UNTOP THAT IS WHY WESTERN SITES ACCEPT MOSTLY VISA AND MASTERCARD.
BUT ALIEEXPRESS and OTHERS ACCEPTS MIR ATM REGULATED IN RUSSIA

At this juncture, with all the sanction, if I am Putin, I would not stop, I would make sure I achieve my objectives.. obviously dis has little to do with Ukraine & Rambo Zelenskyy, they are just pawns in a much bigger game against Russia.....Putin leaving that sit would not make these sanctions stop, they would still find another excuse to do so...This is a good lesson for Russia & other countries who rely too much on d west, AFRICA should take note


Also my respect for China just increase x 10, even though I don't like them much...but not relying on Western payment systems & technologies, trying & developing thier own industries is the right way..

Ironically Putin is fighting to Free us all. It's a shame most people cannot even see how this is good for the rest of the world. We are just now seeing and being able to internalize the amount of power this western nations are wielding. Now If you have common sense by now you would have known that such powers in the hand of a race or a group of people is dangerous.

This is the beginning of the End and the birthing of a new world order. China and the rest of the world can now see clearly what these people are capable of and of course an alternative mechanism for Financial and general banking have to be created right away. This monopoly is over. Things will never remain the same again.

In all of this, what surprises me the most is African leaders taking side with US/NATO. Can't our leaders just have sense for once? What is wrong with Neutrality in matters like this?
