America weaponizes gas exports to Europe!!! Gives Ukraine and Poland the middle finger and says, “use yours to free up internal biogas supplies”!
“Europe can’t lean on the U.S. for gas this winter,” said McLean of BTU.

As alarming as $7.40 gas is to U.S. buyers, prices in Europe and Asia are magnitudes higher: A key gas-import benchmark for Japan and Korea is approaching $30, while Europe is seeing the fuel command the equivalent of $25.
$1100 per 1000 m3 now. What’s that translate to in mmbtu, $35 or so?
I think the EU’s gas futures exchange should look into any shenanigan trading by Kremlin insider proxies because there are fortunes to be made by those with insider info, you know an investigation similar to the one about H. Clinton’s pork belly-money laundering for political favors trading that was never carried out.
Talk about corruption! The Russians could never teach the US anything they didn’t already know.
Ukraine… and counting. Matter of time for Russian control.
Russia already controls it. Russia controls Ukraine’s eastern border to protect the two “breakaway” regions, and it also controls Ukraine’s ability to transit gas to Europe. I’m not convinced that Russia would want to take on such a liability, which happens to include a very shaky, still very dangerous reactor at Chernobyl.
The only interest Russia ever had in managing Ukraine was to keep it and Sevastopol out of NATO’s hands while keeping Ukraine relatively neutral and for that it paid with major gas subsidies and other undeserved favoritism for years.
Other than that, why would anyone want anything to do with that god-forsaken den of iniquity other than a like-minded god-forsaken country like the US, which decided in its infinite wisdom to force the issue off the back burner’s frying pan and into the fire.
