RE:RE:Russia turns off Nord Stream 1 until sanctions are liftedDoes Vladimir Putin UNDERSTAND WHY the sanctions are put on his country? He is not mentally retarded so he should understand. The announcement he could make that would hold some merit would be " Now that we have withdrawn all our troops out of ukraine and have STOPPED invading another country, we also expect all SANCTIONS against Russia will likewise stop. Failure to stop sanctions will result in us stopping to supply natural gas"------------------- an announcement like this would at least have some merit and reasonableness and would be respected
