For what? $30 billion in extra LNG exports to Europe per year?
The US is approaching having a $30 trillion economy.
Apple does $387b in sales. Who cares about $30 billion at the scale the US operates at?
Should the US blow up SAP for the benefit of Microsoft or Oracle? They're a lot more important economically than LNG exports.

30 billion is peanuts, agreed. But look at the intangible benefits of wrecking Germany's economy.
Last week the WSJ reported on industries moving to the US. Easier than getting production back from China, eh?

Which branch of the government do you think does economic warfare?
Last I checked only the NSA has done so via hacking in Brazil. But otherwise it's very, very much against US intel-agency policy.
