      Despite treating him like the joke of a president he is, trump will never stop trying to kiss Vlad’s anus..sorry Donny, only actual tough guys are allowed into the inner circle.

      >Mr. Lynch added that he’d argued to U.S. officials that Nord Stream 2 “can be a geopolitical tool to align Russia with the West.”

      Can’t imagine being this oblivious

      While still bollocking us for buying Russian gas and oil. And still buying Russian oil.

      He does not hold any cards when it comes to where we buy our gas.

      Germany and Europe few years ago thought they could somewhat pacify and align Russia with the west by tying the economies together.

      Europe got so much fossil fuels from Russia, that you’d have to be crazy to do something to disrupt that, like a war…

      The problem with that “logical” thinking, is that it assumes, Russia’s values in regards for economy and stability somewhat align with west. That was obviously wrong.

      What’s not to like – we could be held hostage by both America AND Russia!

      >Having Nord Stream 2 owned by an American entity would increase Western oversight over Russian gas sales, he contends,

      ~~Did he accidentally overlook the German oversight of that big safety valve where NordStream comes ashore?~~

      Edit: corrected my inexperience with political backstabbing.

      Well why doesn’t US buy Russian gas if they are so keen to appease them?

      Most of Europe has learned that to rely on Russian gas leaves them open to economic black mail from Russia.

      Those European countries that have not began exiting from Russian Gas supplies, will be under the Russian yoke. Indeed, they already are.

      Europe need to stay the course with replacing fossil fuel gas with alternatives. Those alternatives are a mixture of nuclear, renewables and probably hydrogen as well.

      In the decades ahead, in a much more volotile geo political world, brought about by catastrophic leadership in many of the world’s main economies, energy independence is going to be absolutely critical for any country which wishes to retain its own independence. The only way to ensure energy independence is to develop home based alternatives to fossil fuels.

      It’s funny how MAGA operates.

      On the one hand grandiose promises of developing US trade and especially revitalizing fossil fuels industries in the US (“drill baby drill” or “beautiful clean coal” “Europe should buy energy” etc).

      On the other: push for low oil prices (which tbf for Europe is great thing) that is already hurting US oil industry and now this.

      Primary winners of Europe switching from russia when it comes to natural gas is the US. Because Europe increased import of LNG. And who is primary seller? US. Return of NS would hurt first and foremost US economy.

      This article completely ignores that France and Belgium are currently holding up an EU proposal to stop buying Russian gas. Because vilifying a crackpot proposal from an American, albeit one that would be completely reliant on German participation, gets more clicks from gullible people.

      So the US spent years and years trying to pursuade the EU to not build that pipeline in order to not give Russia more leverage and now it wants them to do the complete opposite? They can fuck off.

      Putin is the only thing blocking exports to Europe. America should buy him instead…

    16. GovernmentBig2749 on

      Well, fortunately enough Europe is not in the U.S. and can decide for itself with whom to do business, where and how…in euro.

      Both involved nations have basically the same agenda in this. They both would like to control Germany via energy usage, while Germany has very much learned it’s lesson in this. The USA has to come to terms with, that Germany, maybe slowly but surely, will continue to emancipate from the USA. So the mere thought of it would change anything if the US is owner of something, that we are not willing to take from a single source any longer, is really entertaining. Americans are really bad at reading the room.

      Putin offered help with Iran and trump is going to help russia in exchange.

    21. kenypowa on

      The war is 3 years old and Europe is still relying on Russian gas? And you guys have time to laugh at Trump?
