the Russians raised the prices to the very people they said they were there to help.

The Russians don't charge the people. They charge the Ukraine gas company. The Ukraine gas company was charging to deliver the gas the people, but not paying to get the gas from the Russians.

If you are offered a discount, and you want to keep the discount, you actually need to pay the bill at the discounted price. What part of that escapes you? It’s actually a very simple concept.

Now the eastern part of the Ukraine has become a war zone.

Do you believe this is solely the fault of Russia and the Ukraine government has no responsibility in the current situation?

Putin has been in a leadership position for 16 years now. Is that the kind of democracy you support?

Nice straw-man argument but not the topic we were discussing.

Frankly Thackney, your an idiot on this.

Russia came in under false pretenses.

It has not business sending in people to the Eastern Ukraine. It has no business putting it’s troops on the Ukraine’s border. I has not business raising gas prices, if it’s intent is to help the Russians in the Eastern part of the Ukraine.

So nice straw-man about the bills the Ukraine isn’t paying. Doubling the prices of the gas will certainly fix that won’t it.
