Potential winners from the destruction of ALL the nat gas lines from Russia to Europe? Just one: the US LNG industry. But this makes no sane sense at all – not that sane sense seems to be a capability of the Biden White House. Biden recently said he wants to destroy Nordstream 2. Mission accomplished I guess. By a total amazing co-incidence to take the top Oscar spot away from the total co-incidence of 9/11, the Neocons' "New Pearl Harbor". So now what?
It has already been well demonstrated that US LNG shipments of ANY LNG deliveries are not capable of nearly matching what Europe was getting even through NS-1 let alone the potential through NS-2 as well. Talk about how Europe has "let itself be dependent on Russian gas" has been floating around Washington like dope smoke for years. It is idiotic. Can I ask these people to look at a world map or better yet a globe and pass Grade 4 geography? There is no physical, real, earthly source of natural gas to replace what Russia was supplying, could supply, ever would be capable of supplying anywhere in the geographical reality of this planet. Not Arabia. Not Qatar. CERTAINLY not US shale fields on the other side of that big blue thing – see there, right there on the map? – we who passed Grade 4 geography like to call the Atlantic Ocean. GET IT??!!
The World financial system is more vulnerable than it has ever been in my lifetime. Inflation is exploding like a grass fire everywhere but in Russia where they have managed to hold it at bay (mostly because the EU/US has isolated Russia from the Western system). The USA, EU, UK all of them are running on empty: insurmountable debt increasing by billions a day, money becoming worthless. This act of sabotage will hit the global financial system like a baseball bat to the side of the head. Winners? NONE!!
