Putin has cut off sales of natural gas to Poland, saying this is because Poland refuses to pay in rubles.

Poland will sue, claiming breach of contract. However, I don't think anything can make gas flow through the pipeline if Putin decides not to pump gas into it.

The US government has reached the conclusion that it is crucial to weaken the Putin forces to the point that he won't think of starting another war.

I came to a similar cnclusion a few weeks ago: that it would wrong to let Putin make peace and keep any sort of gains from he battle.

If we don't restore the nonnuclear deal with Iran soon, it will develop the capacity to quickly enrich some uranium and make nuclear weapons.

That would reduce the value of the deal, but the deal might still be worth having.
