Russia will suspend electricity supplies to Finland this weekend, a supplier said on Friday as tensions rise over Helsinki's NATO bid following the conflict in Ukraine.'We are forced to suspend the electricity import starting from May 14,' said RAO Nordic, a subsidiary of Russian state energy holding Inter RAO that sells its electricity on the Nordic market.It blamed the suspension on not having received payment for electricity sold in May and said as a consequence it was no longer able to pay for more electricity from Russia.

I think putin feels pretty strongly about nato nukes in Ukraine. And the current balance of power in Europe. I hope these apparent idiots know what they’re doing it and have a substantial reason for stirring tensions.

There goes some hard currency feeding the Pootie regime. Gas deliveries get suspended, there's some more. I bet those French nuke plants are looking pretty good right now to the Huns and the Fins

The left has to learn that they are consumers of goods and services, and when they use economic weapons, they can have economic weapons turned on them. Finland could have done nothing---but now they have no electricity.

Russia, under the USSR, has always had buffer states. Putting a NATO country right on their border is a BIG no no in Putin's eyes.

Only seems fair. Here the Democrats cut off more of our power sources everyday because they aren't solar or wind. Biden should welcome this move.

My bet is that the "payment issues" are the refusal to pay them in rubles. Russia has been insisting on this for a lot of payments, DESPERATE to get other countries to buy rubles which will prop up the collapsing currency.

Ruble to $ was 150:1 in March, after sanctions imposed. Now 64:1. Ruble is stronger now than it was in 2021 and most of 2020. Outstanding work Brandon. Sanctions don't work and back a currency with hard assets and watch it recover.

Former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos ridiculed His Fraudulency Joe Biden and his “Disinformation Board” Friday over an absurd tweet about inflation.A little after six p.m. Friday night, probably an hour or so after the real Joe Biden had fallen asleep in front of a Murder She Wrote rerun, I’m assuming it was a White House staffer who used Biden’s verified Twitter account to spread this ridiculous lie:“You want to bring down inflation?” the tweet reads. “Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.”Whuh?Granted, I’m no economist, but I know of no correlation between inflation and tax increases. In fact, inflation is caused primarily by the government’s wasteful spending,

Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday compared the leak of fellow Justice's Samuel Alito's draft opinion, which would overturn abortion protections under Roe v Wade, to 'infidelity.' Thomas, 73, said at a conference that the leak would weaken the public's trust in the Supreme Court as an institution, calling the unauthorized disclosure of deliberations 'tremendously bad.' In his remarks, the conservative justice, who has long called for overturning Roe, hinted that a liberal clerk may have leaked Alito's draft opinion, and lamented that partisan rancor has grown more entrenched on the high court.

A Wisconsin mom shared her horror after her 13 year-old son was accused of sexual harassment for refusing to refer to a non-binary schoolmate with 'they/them' pronouns. Rosemary Rabidoux hit out after her son Bradon became one of three eighth grade schoolboys at Kiel Middle School subjected to an ongoing probe. It was triggered after they chose not to use the gender neutral pronoun for their unidentified classmate, who they instead referred to using 'she' and her'. Things appear to have escalated quickly with the school district now filing a Title IX complaint against the students, accusing them of sexual harassment for using the 'incorrect' pronouns.
