Uprightness100:Youjust sat at home and a certificate of sponsorship just dropped inside your email or post without you applying? You see how you are openly lying and you call yourself a gospel preacher here? You should be ashamed of yourself. Your problem is that you talk too much here. Not everytime must you have something to say about even topics that doesn't concern you. Your open hated for USA is worrisome. The scriptures say that '"Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few."" |

obailala:EU is not bluffing. That's why they didn't sanction Gazprom because they thought Putin is a rational man who will keep gas flowing. Now that he's running mad, Europe will reconsider their energy policy. They will now take renewable more seriously. Germany already has 46% of his energy source as renewables. They just need a push to wean themselves off dirty energy. Enough of blackmailing. Though I don't support the freezing of Russian foreign reserve by western nations. That's theft to me and breach of contract. |

obailala:Both sides are bluffing. They need each other. At least for now. And then they will gradually decouple from eachother. The EU and Germany especially thought that by tight economic coupling with Russia, they might influence Russia to take decisions they agree with and not be too reliant on the US. But that hasn't been the case. So the EU will gradually build their alliance with the US back to as strongly as during the cold war and the opposite will be the case for Russia. Russia has been getting stronger with a complacent EU. Unfortunately this Ukraine invasion has now made the EU to wake up and they are now rearming and funding their military. Something Russia didn't want. In the end Russia is the one losing influence more. Putin miscalculated. |

Uprightness100:I respect the view of your friend but I will disagree with it. Russia has no choice but to jettison USD anyway since they have no means of earning in dollars. Did your friend tell you that Russia is ARTIFICIALLY propping up the roubles by a lot of interventionist policies, which are not sustainable from the Central Bank of Russia. The stock market is not fully open, they have restricted Russians from sending money outside Russia and lot of foreigners holding stocks have been restricted from dumping their shares. Many companies have left Russia and unemployment of immense proportion is looming large. Also, Russia has forced Gazprom and other major Russia exporters to convert 80% of their foreign exchange to Roubles. That's artificial and not sustainable. Roubles will slide again. Sanctions always have long term effect, and Russia economy is hurting so badly. Russia's action has no impact on USD being the world's leading currency. Russia has SPFS as an alternative to SWIFT, how many transactions in volumes and participants are on it compared to SWIFT. Russia is boxed into a corner already. Some people are talking as if EU cant call the bluff of Russia on gas. Lithuania has just done it. Germany has said it would never pay in roubles. The same with Italy. Let us see who blinks first. Russia needs the EU money, and while EU will be hurt, trust me, Russia will hurt more as they have no means of diverting the EU gas to China right now, and anyway China will buy at a discounted rate. Russia needs money so bad. It is a game of who blinks first, let's continue to watch how it unfolds. Putin is no genius, he is a crazy leader who will be known to fight a needless war that pushed his country to the precipice. |

chloedogie:Thank you. They always think we are fools. Most of those opposing the US are US rejects at the embassy. Give them option to pick between US visa or Russia and watch them fighting with their lives to go to the States. He just claimed he rejected a fully sponsored visa. Laughs. So, you didn't even apply for the sponsorship, it just dropped inside his email. lol. Why rejecting what you applied for? lol. Trust me, he didn't get any sponsorship, just blabbing. If he has it, he will scheme it out as if his life depends on it. |

Akasammyoka:Europe is definitely going to end the energy dependency. It’s a constant. So, whether we accepts rubbles or dollars, outcome will be same. |

Uprightness100:The evil and abomination happening in Nigeria today and endorsed by the Nigerian government and even the evil among seemingly ordinary /innocent citizen is far worse than whatever evil is being endorsed by the US government. Nigeria is a country where innocent blood is spilled everywhere and everyday. Jihadist, bandits, Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen, unknown gunmen, corrupt policemen, rampaging mob and ritualists spill innocent blood everyday , in fact one can even say the Nigerian government endorses and support ritual murder as a large percentage of people in government are involved in it to gain dark spiritual power, even most ordinary people you see everyday are mostly dishonest and won't think twice before swindling you, yet it's USA government that is evil according to you. May God open your eyes. |

DerrickzB:Russia has no existing infrastructure to divert the volume of gas being bought by EU to either china or India. India is paying Rupee for Russia oil. It is an arrangement of Rupee-Rouble between the two countries. China is paying in Yuan. Don't forget that India is buying at a discount which does not pay Russia either. Stop misleading people here in order to gain undue advantage in a discourse of this importance. Stop the cheap lie. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/india-is-considering-rupee-payments-for-trade-with-russia-report/articleshow/90206402.cms https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-01/chinese-buyers-given-flexibility-to-pay-in-yuan-for-russian-oil |

Like I said earlier, no EU countries will pay in rubles, the problem is that Russia massive economy is tied to the sales of gas that is were 70 percent of its revenue come from.. And all it gas sales are made to the EU mostly Germany. In as much Putin wanna seems tough the EU still remains Moscow biggest and highest trading partner.. In the end the EU need Russia gas.and Russia need EU to keep its economy aloft.

DerrickzB:Will they still be able to buy more than the EU ![]() The EU still remains Moscow biggest and highest trading partner.. Germany alone buys 50% of Russia entire gas export.. You are talking about 3 million barrels |

DerrickzB:We talking gas here and not oil. Besides the largest buyer of Russian gas is EU- 155 million m3 per yr. The closest to it is china with 38 million. There's no replacement for Europe's demand. That's way too much what china needs. Even if China and India decide to take the slack, it means they will drop other suppliers. Then EU can pick off the excess elsewhere. The price will balance up. Commodity trade is a zero sum game. It's a tight market where demand strictly meet supply. Those saying EU will pay more for gas elsewhere don't know anything about commodity market. China tried that nonsense with Australia last yr regarding coal and farm produce. They failed woefully. |

Uprightness100:Too much shalaye. Gazprom is already mandated by law to convert 80% of its earnings to Roubles so this decree is just window dressing and does not move the needle on foreign exchange conversions. People hold your currency on Trust, reliability of behaviour and for trading a variety of goods. All this shalaye won't change the fact that people cannot trust to hold Rouble but I bet you have held dollars before and will continue to do so. Any country is free to set any terms they want. EU contracts stipulate payment in Euros and nobody is shouting about Euros trying to replace petrodollar. People accept what they can trust to hold value, that's why dollar was already used before petrodollar and became merchants currency of choice when there was not enough gold to back all the currency in the world. I would rather hold something that keeps its value like Dollar or Euro than Rouble that dances upandan like Naira. People hold the most reliable currencies that hold value and where most of their trade is done, and that is Dollars and Euros. They would hold Yuan but Yuan pegs itself to the dollar so that's the same as holding dollar, but nobody will hold a schizophrenic currency like Rouble with unpredictable Govt as an alternative. |
