The US has helped prepare for the diversion of natural gas supplies from around the world to Europe in the event that the flow from Russia is cut, in an effort to blunt Vladimir Putin’s most powerful economic weapon. As fears of an invasion of Ukraine have grown, US officials said on Tuesday that they had been negotiating with global suppliers, and they were now confident that Europe would not suffer from a sudden loss of energy for heating in the middle of winter.(Snip)Boris Johnson hinted that Germany was concerned about the imposition of sanctions against Russia because of its dependence on Russian gas and told MPs diplomatic efforts

Fine. Just as long as the White House, both chambers of Congress, and every congess critter's homes are the first to go dark and cold.

Spot on #2. We are sending our troops over there to freeze their butts off and possibly get killed to prevent Russia from entering the Ukraine when our borders are completely open? Dumber than a brick Mayorkas inventing new terms every single day for illegals who are entering with illnesses, decline being vaccinated and our tax$$$ are sending them around the country to a place of their choice??? This so-called moron who claims to be prez. took an oath to protect our borders. I see nothing of the sort other than being fobbed off with a pack of lies. Perhaps we should send our troops to our borders to protect US citizens from drug dealers, murderers, child molesters, human traffickers etc. Whatever happened to just a shot in the air, we have their attention, the next one aims at the legs...no more illegals.

Hmmm. Turn out the light when you leave a room. Lower your thermostat. Wear an extra sweater or two. How many others out there are preparing for Jimmy Carter redux?

How appropriate. Just got my natural gas bill for December 2021. $ 365.00. Highest it's ever been. December was a mild month with many days highs in the 70s. January has been colder than Hillary's thighs on her wedding night. I can afford but some can't. Quod Pro Joe is lower than a snake's gonads.

Biden couldn't manage a 7-11, so what's the surprise here after all he's screwed up over the past year.
Let's go Brandon

Biden has spent a year shutting down American oil and gas. Does the embecile think you can drill wells, make repairs, bring wells out of shutdown overnight? Biden is engaging in war mongering with Russia, China, and now I hear the Biden negotiators have quit on Iran, so I guess Biden will be starting a war there also.

The US has built and continues to build LNG plants, supply points for foreign customers who need gas. But no way, at this point, is our present capacity to supply liquified Natural Gas to Europe even close to filling their needs.
Biden (or rather his puppetmasters) know this.
But the average American doesn't.
Biden and his MSM hacks win because of this.

Europe very loudly went Full Green, or pretended to, but now to prevent them from freezing in the dark, New USA stands ready to provide them with evil fossil fuels, never mind all of their ineffective windmills and solar power. The big win for the US government would be to have Americans who use natural gas for heating (or for electricity, through generating stations) pay even higher bills, or freeze in the dark, because we don't want to go Green.
