WNU Editor: The Baltic states are saying they are going to replace this natural gas from Russia with LNG imports from Norway and the U.S..
I think those states were true believers when President Trump explained in detail the dangers of relying on Russian energy. Over the past few years they invested in LNG terminals to take US nat gas, like Poland, and those terminals are now operating.
ReplyDeleteGermany didn’t take Trump’s words to heart, mocked him and insulted him, now they will have no choice but to bend the knee to Russia, it’s just a matter of time. I also believe Russian agit-prop will work on Russian agents and fellow travelers in Germany to stir up civil unrest in Germany as the shortages worsen.
