Now according to Yahoo! Finance the so called Russian bond interest payments were again tried by Russia to pay in Rubles thus, Defaults. The USA had earlier allowed payments to bond holders without sanctions imposed on those transfers of payments meaning that the USA nor any other free world country is not preventing payments. Comedy.

As to your two quotes above, if I were Putin I wouldn't pay either. As to the quote from Pilate "What is (the) truth" That is the big problem. We aren't going to get the truth from our own government, much less from NATO, Ukraine, or Russia. I have to believe Russia felt threatened and we will never know what NATO and Ukraine were up to.
If you were Putin you wouldn’t pay either. I got it.
No sir, I wouldn't pay. And if you were a banker that froze my savings account and then got upset because I wouldn't make a payment after you seized my money, well tough sh-t.
As a matter of fact I would be for cancelling any debt we supposedly owe China after the damage their bio-weapon or accidental release caused. Just tell them go ahead "sue me".
But that might be a problem if they spilled the beans on the U.S. complicity.
In the case of Russia the seizure of accounts and funds is considered by them to be theft. You know we did that to Japan once but they didn't have the means to fight or natural resources.
I believe it was putin who invaded Ukraine (and Georgia and The Crimea) and not the Ukraine that’s invaded Russia.
But that’s okay.
No attempt at any diplomatic solution to Georgia, The Crimea or Ukraine.
