> Who's going to fine them and how are you going to enforce those fines? They are cut off from the western financial system. The Biden administration induced a fake default which nobody takes seriously by not allowing the Russians to pay their creditors. The creditors are filing lawsuits against the US government.
From what I've seen, fines againist a supplier generally mean you pay them less later on. Germany would just pay the supplier less later and since there are multiple pipelines they will be supplies later.
And Russia isn't cut off exactly. Since half of Europe needs to be able to pay them. And Germany, for sure, still wants to pay them.
