Energy ministers from the G7 group of nations have rejected Vladimir Putin’s demand that Russian natural gas be purchased exclusively in rubles. ...

New headline in a month (or few months):

G7 kneels and kisses feet of Russia to give them oil, after centuries of failed Cold War demonisation attempts

Libs (hiding their cryface behind mask): oh that was so obvious Russia is big country minerals Putin is just strong we are also strong it happens

You’re tacitly admitting Russia got kicked out of the G8. And you know who has oil and gas? Ukraine. Guess where all that sweet, sweet foreign capital is going to be redirected? And probably Russia’s frozen foreign currency reserves, too.

Just for the record: Ukraine is importing gas from Russia as well.

Technically, not at the moment, being invaded by Russia and all. But my point is that afterwards, Ukrainian deposits will be fast-tracked for development by foreign capital where as Russia will be starved for it. Belt and Road might be their only option.
