As much as I don't agree with Russian launching this war against Ukraine, I do agree with what the foreign minister has said about this default. It is indeed a farce. Russia is not in default because it can't pay. Russia has the money to pay but is just not being allowed to pay it because the west cut off all of the methods of payment. It's like you try to pay your mortgage and you have the money sitting in your bank account waiting for it to be debited by the lender bank but the bank just refused to debit it from your bank because you are not allowed to use the electronic payment system anymore. And as a result, the bank just declares your mortgage as in arrears.
On a smaller scale, the same thing happened in Canada this past winter. Private citizen's bank accounts and credit cards were seized or frozen by the government (on orders by the WEF) because they donated to a legally constitutional truckers protest. And that includes Canadians that donated as little as $5.
I don't agree with the invasion, but for the media to continue with their lies doesn't help at all.
