    US Treasury blocks Russian bond payments, raising risk of default

    The decision further complicates Russia’s attempts to keep meeting debt obligations
    amid the sanctions imposed after it invaded Ukraine.    ​

    As the Russian government tries to sidestep its first external default in about a century, those restrictions have hampered and delayed the process of transferring money to bond holders.

    The U.S. announcement is intended to force Russia into either draining its domestic dollar reserves or spending new revenue to make bond payments, or else go into default,
    according to a spokesperson for the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.

    the sweeping sanctions have already led to the seizure of an estimated two-thirds of Russia’s reserves. The central bank says it’s also sold some of its foreign currencies to support the ruble----
    artificially inflating the Russian currency---leaving questions on how long it can pull from its local coffers to pay its debts.

    Russia’s foreign-currency and gold reserves were about $604 billion as of March 25, down $38.8 billion from a February peak.

    He answered it, he's not interested in the truth.

    This guy was throwing Islamophobic and xenophobic posts at me for years, several witnesses on D&D will corroborate that. After I told him I'm neither Muslim nor Arab, he proceeded with a suspicion campaign claiming I'm lying and I'm actually Muslim on the inside. Think about what kind of people do that in general.

    Now think about it for a moment. If that country is violating human rights and I say it on the internet, I will go to jail - never get a job again, never see my family again, solitary confinement. It's not a possibility, it's a certainty. It's a law. Should I do it for DaDakota? Yeah I didn't think so.

    He knows that's the situation, I've told him that. I guess he thinks it bothers me that I can't say it to him? I don't know. That's not where I would be directing it if that's what I wanted to say.

    Anyways, he doesn't represent Americans, there's always a minority like him in a country and we can't generalize on that basis. I should know, a quarter of my family are American.

    I know the obvious goes out the window when someone criticizes the amorphous concept of "America", but I am here because this is a board for Rockets fans to discuss their political views with each other.
