So on a serious note that translates to about 20 decillion dollars. Aka 20 billion trillion trillion dollars. For reference the entire global GDP is about 110 trillion dollars. So Russia is asking about 200 million trillion times as much as the entire global GDP

What is the endgame here? They aren't getting that money, if only for the fact it doesn't exist, and Google has no incentive to comply. This just looks like an attempt at dick swinging gone wrong.

So 2,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollary-doos.

Totally reasonable.
