  1. The primary use of gas in Bulgaria and Poland is home heating, the weather is getting warmer and spring is in the air. Bulgaria and Poland has the support of the entire EU, while Russia only has China as a major economic trading partner. Russia is a “One Trick Pony” whose only asset is selling gas and no major industrial export to sell to other countries because of the economic sanctions. Putin’s only source of revenue is selling gas to the Western countries. Putin is so far behind the curve, both militarily and economically. Putin went after his smallest gas customers, instead of this largest gas customer, Germany who has been providing a lot more military weapons to Ukraine. Germany has a larger industrial base and uses a lot more gas for industry, this is his political stunt. If he goes after Germany, it will be an economic war of attrition and whose economy can withstand the onslaught of economic losses. Russia signed a long term contact with what type of currency they would receive payment for the gas. Putin broke the contract and demand they pay in Rubles to help increase the value of the Ruble. Putin is trying to bypass the economic sanctions. He gets paid in Western currencies he can't buy thing with because of the sanctions, but still receives Western currencies for the gas per the contract. He wants to force the West to sell him items he wants and be paid in Rubles they will then pay for in Rubles for the gas.
