“No”
“Ok then”
“Hey you can’t not pay us!”
“I tried to, in rubles”
“No, use dollars”
“You won’t let me”
“If you invade there will be sanctions.”
“We don’t care”
“It will make finances not as good”
“We don’t care”
“That means you can’t pay your debts”

Oh look we’ve got a “everyone who disagrees with me is a Russian bot” type

Stealing from someone and then claiming they owe you money that you’ve already stolen is some peak western bullshit
