Nord Stream 2: Trump approves sanctions on Russia gas pipeline President Donald Trump has signed a law that will impose sanctions on any firm that helps Russia's state-owned gas company, Gazprom, finish a pipeline into the European Union. The sanctions target firms building Nord Stream 2, an undersea pipeline that will allow Russia to increase gas exports to Germany. The US considers the project a security risk to Europe. Both Russia and the EU have strongly condemned the US sanctions. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50875935 LNG politics drove it all.........and the distrust of Russia Gas producers in the US lobbied hard for the bill in congress it was 5 years ago Now we need to support Ukraine ... no one in the US supported Russia 5 years ago except......the guy who called for help from Russia..... and no one today supports Russia except the traitor who says Russia can do whatever they want.....

LISTEN SHARE European officials are trying to blame the greedy Americans for the Continent’s current funk | Pool photo by Susan Walsh/AFP via Getty Images ANALYSIS NOVEMBER 30, 2022 6:13 AM CET BY MATTHEW KARNITSCHNIG BERLIN — It’s gotten cold in Europe, the economy is tanking and the natives are getting restless. There’s only one answer: Blame America. Pointing across the Atlantic has long been a favorite diversionary tactic for Europe’s political elites when things start to get dicey on the Continent. Whether it’s the war in Ukraine (Washington shouldn’t have expanded NATO), natural disasters (too many American SUVs fueling climate change) or the demise of French as a lingua franca (cultureless Hollywood), America is inevitably the culprit. https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-us-anti-american-biden-trade-gas-weapons-economy-inflation-reduction-act/ No European country is anti American! They may disagree on US foreign policy in their territory or elsewhere in the world, surely its their right to voice their opinion or are you advocating they arent allowed to have free speech? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know theres strength in numbers and my comment is quite naiive, but there has to be some retribution for those that dont pay their way. Germany, France, Italy and Spain with larger GDP's are the biggest culprits and the ones that bitch and moan the most and try to throw their weight around. There should be an automatic financial penalty equivalent to the amount they are down by otherwise they are thrown out. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slowing down the global arms race is good for the planet. Canada only contributed 1.38% last year, I think that is plenty. Furthermore, we are sending loads of military and financial aid to a non-NATO nation. The Ukraine contributed nothing and is getting lots of support. So does getting "thrown out" of NATO really matter? No, as the major powers will still fight to maintain global stability / balance.

While that negative price is possible, do you have a reference? I only go back to about 2019 on this site's price history chart, and it NEVER went below about $1.50. I can only say that gas can be a nuisance to exploration and development of wells, so much so, THEY SIMPLY BURN IT OFF rather than sell it. It must be cheap! But, it ain't "~free".
