As a European I'm glad the CIA/Poland/aliens blew up the pipelines that were funding the Russian invasion.

Even the environmental effect was minor; the methane emission from the leaks had 1/5th of the GHG effect of my small country's, Denmark, annual GHG emission.

Europe continues to send more money than ever to Russia [1], whether by proxy or not. Industrial terrorism against Germany, by US/UK/etc., does not change that.

What is does do is reinforce the European dependency on Washington, as evidenced by this post.

No question the European dependency on Washington is currently reinforced.

However, it just occured to me that LNG terminals have one big advantage over a Russia-Europe pipeline: There is exactly one country that can send gas through a pipline that starts in Russia.

There are many countries that can send ships to our LNG terminals.

If, how, and when we make use of that flexibility is another question completely, of course.

This was true because of the all time high natural gas prices (€350/MWh) and high oil prices, both of which have now dropped to pre-war levels (~€70/MWh).
