Gazprom is in business to make money. They don’t supply gas for free.
And Kerry’s down payment is a joke. A $1 billion dollars is what the US government spends in a day.
The US can’t compete with Russia when it comes to buying influence in that part of the world.
But Vladimir Putin will be perfectly happy to accept a check, credit card, loan or cash as payment for services rendered.

Putin has a long record of terrorizing and murdering those who won’t agree to his beezness deals. It isn’t about money, the civilized world doesn’t murder its political opponents on a regular basis.
Well, yes.
I do recall that they complained about the Iraqi surrender agreement from Desert Storm being “under duress” and thus “invalid”.
[I thought surrender agreements were always under duress, that’s what surrender is. You don’t surrender if you’re winning, unless you’re Boehner and the GOP.]
So pieces of paper tend to mean nothing if they don’t like said paper.

Russian navy ships are blocking both ends of the Kerch strait separating Crimea and Russia, Ukrainian border guards have said, according to a Reuters newsflash.
Yesterday, Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev ordered that a bridge should be built across the 4.5km (2.7-mile) wide strait to connect Crimea with Russia.
Buy politicians, buy a country.
What are we doing different than Putin? A bribe is still a bribe is still a bribe.
But Putin isn’t pretending its about high-minded principle.
Isn't that what the article is about?
It begins, now we will see the tanks roll north as Kerry hands out money.
I can see the heir to the Heinz ketchup fortune giving Gazprom that overdue check.
They’re laughing their arses off in Moscow.

Well that will speed up the trip to the Siberian gulag for the Tartars and other counter revolutionaries.
Living off other people’s money. It’s something Kerry has done his entire miserable life. Nothing new at all here.
BBC: 15:10: The European Union might help Ukraine pay the $2bn owed to Russian gas giant Gazprom, AFP quotes EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger as saying. It will come as part of the European Commission’s aid package for Ukraine due to be adopted on Wednesday, he adds. It follows Gazprom’s decision to remove a discount on gas prices for Ukraine from April.
” - - - White House is announcing an aid package to Ukraine of $1 billion - - - “
FINALLY! A highly successful backward solution to all known problems comes out of the Nobel Peace Prize winning White House!
“What is that?, “ You may ask? The answer, of course, is unlimited amounts of unfunded US Taxpayer Debt Dollars!
Yup! Works every time, and faster than you can can say “IcandoanythingIwantbyjustbyoassingCongress.” Nobel Laurette Soetoro-Obama just says:: “Charge it to the next generation, please! Whoopee! My work here is done! Golf anyone?”
Secretary of Statements John “Cachup” Kerry will ride in, start writing rubber checks, and the ensuing bright rosy glow will spread around the World. Well, maybe not onto “the Arab Street.”
Although the always weak, Obamanation Foreign Policy is well on the way to its usual backward success, there are still a few topics that have yet to be resolved, as follows:
* Were is the Internet Video that caused the Ukrainians to force their beloved President to take the entire Ukrainian Treasury with him when he fled the country?
* Will “Catchup” Kerry enlist the help of famed video detective Susan Rice to help him track down and jail the perp. who made this awful, obscure, unknown video, that the United States had nothing to do with?
* Will the US Department of Statements spend more unfunded US Taxpayer Debt Dollars for the Ukranian Denial Ad than they did for the 2012 Benghazi Denial Ad?
* Note: Kerry must excel here because due to the obvious cruel onslaught of the aging process on Mrs. Bill Clinton, “Catchup” Kerry may be duty-bound to replace her as the obvious Democrat frontrunner in the 2016 Presidential race.
* Since POS Soetoro-Obama hit the famous RESET BUTTON on Russia, the NASA Space Program has had to be “dependent on the kindness of strangers” from Russia. Hopefully, our astronauts will be able to borrow food and vodka from the Russians while they wait for “Catchup” Kerry to resolve this Ukrainian “investment.”
* Will buddy Vlad Putin be as flexible with the Renowned Obamanation Foreign Policy as Soetoro-Obama was with Putin?
* Rumor has it that Vlad Putin has his eye on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his defusing of the Syrian “Red Line” Crisis.
* Another rumor is that Putin could win the Nobel Peace Prize if he sold all of Russia’s US Treasury Notes, requested that the USA be dropped from the G9, and appointed Snowden to be the Russian Ambassador to the United States of America.
Excellent synopsis of the current truth, Comrade! B^)
They tried to warn us about the Boston bombers and we ignored them. Maybe they were expecting us to ignore them again. After all would we seriously value a group that possibly included al Qaida and nazi more than we value our own people?
.... Just rhetorical question ....
Vladimir Putin is laughing at the "superior intellect" of the keystone cops 0bama/Kerry team ...
I'm LOL-ing out loud!
He doesn’t have any more Ketchup. Heinz was sold to Buffet!
Kerry to the world - 'Here's our lunch money - please don't hurt us'.
Conservatives to the school bully " We gave the money to your mother this morning - left in on her dresser...."
