I think he meant Qatari pipeline not Saudi, although one of the proposed routes transits a large chunk of Saudi Arabia.

Any factual examples?
Recent, or historical? lolol
Let’s start with recent.
Let’s not. Lithuania, early 90’s.
Well, no recent examples as we see.. What happened in Lithuania in early 90s?
A couple of shipping terminals and tankers full of US gas could be heading to keep Europe warm this winter.
You are probably right but switching to LNG requires some serious technical challenge to consumers geared to pipeline gas.
Russians Playing Dumb. Film at 11.
If I were one of you guys I should have bring some latin term to describe what you have just said to me, to display alleged intelligence.
Sorry, I was laughing. Are all Russians so ignorant of their own history?
Well, I guess you have nothing to say on subject actually. Don’t waste your time, rude.
Russia has been engaging in energy blackmail for decades.Nope, nuthin' to see, there.
Lithuania, early 90’s.
Now, Turkey will be able to play all the transit games Ukraine did if anyone tries to reign in their support for Jihadis.
Just like they did with investing so much in "renewables" that haven't panned out, the EU is once again cutting it's own nose off to spite it's face. If they keep this kind of thing up they'll end up with as many nose jobs as Michael Jackson had.
Kaliph Erdogan has a nice ring to it that folks in the EU better get used to.
It does look good for Turkey, and Putin gets to supply more terrorists.
That would be the NATO sponsored terrorists right?
Oh my....
So, more than "oh my" is in order since countries in the EU are more than happy to make more Islamic slaughter of Christians and the overthrow of more governments to install Islamic governments possible.
would short-circuit the Saudi pipeline

What is Saudi pipeline are you referring to?
switching to LNG requires some serious technical challenge to consumers geared to pipeline gas.

That is not what happens.
LNG is imported to a terminal. That terminal heats the liquid into gas which is pure methane. It is feed into the pipeline networks. No change of any type happens at the consumer. They are still burning methane gas.

Turn this around and you’ll see the big coup for Russia. Russia has been trying to defend the Christians in Syria. They were shouting from the rooftops that attacking Bashir would spell horrors and they were right: the rebels they warned us against joined forces with Al-Qaeda-in-Iraq to form ISIS. But Turkey’s been so suspicious of Kurds they’ve been supporting ISIS... and their cozy relation to the Wahabbists of Saudi Arabia have made it all the easier.
Now, Turkey has flipped to the opposite center of power in SE Asia: Russia. Turkey is profiting off the relationship, but that’s just it: Russia’s relationship will be valuable. And Russia can apply pressure to support both Bashir and the would-have-been anti-Bashir Kurds.
