Yeah, coz of the war. Before the war they couldnt shift it.
>The US has tried to talk the europeans out of depending on russian gas for decades. Of course we want all the customers we can find, but there's no shortage of customers!
There was in 2021. LNG is particularly unappealing to countries with a pipeline.
There's a reason that, much to America's chagrin, Germany have zero LNG port capacity.
Sure, but it's not like they can build large LNG cargo ships overnight.
Per Wikpedia: "According to SIGTTO data, in 2019 there were 154 LNG carriers on order, and 584 operating LNG carriers" -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG_carrier
So sounds like they were already backordered ridiculously. Something tells me it has only gotten worse since.
Cha-Ching!
The US gets all of his uranium mostly from that region of the world: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/nuclear/where-our-uraniu...
The US also has a documented history for such thing, both in the middle east, asia, and in south america (eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...)
The timing is too perfect, maybe gas is not the motive, maybe it is to expand OTAN over there? who knows
Do you remember the failed coup in Turkey? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Turkish_coup_d%27%C3%A9ta...
This region of the world is for sure very hectic, a lot of data to dissect and analyse
Israel is a little bit too silent these days imo, i need to dig deeper maybe
Quickening the cut from gazprom is in their plan, considering: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/gazprom-says-groups-...
We can all pretend and not see what's happening, but then you have this: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/russias-gazprom-keep...
So the question is, why it is fine to let gas transit from Ukraine, is that to let them get their juicy royalties? so this sparks the question of corruption, who fuel and allow that corruption?
I do not pretend to know everything, but i read a lot and that's the best conclusion i can make, so far, there is clear evidence that the US doesn't want the EU to get their supply from elsewhere, Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict is yet another evidence, wich is where EU wanted to get some of their supply
Worse, US's gas production is illegal in the EU, they don't allow the production within their soil, so it's clear evidence that they were forced to buy US's supply
I can also predict the future, the US will build nuclear power plants int the EU, instead of EU getting them from France, all started when the US built them for ukraine back in the days, the motive was clear
Wich is why France sold their companies to the US, and had to loose some due to some shaddy stuff (Alstom), it's clear current French government works with US's interests in mind, same for Ursula von der Leyen and her team of european bureaucrats
