Better to have Germany 70% dependent on the Wahhabi Saudi Arabians now that Merkel moved in millions of Muzzies, right? From what I've read, that's the only alternative to paying two or three times as much for US LNG.

At least until the Israelis get their gas field flowing and for some reason, I don't think Germany being dependent to any great extent on Israel would work out well.

Germany made the decision to shut down its nuclear and coal powered energy facilities thus making them more dependent on imported energy, especially from the Russians. In contrast, France uses nuclear energy to generate 80% of its electricity.

Trump is pointing out the logical inconsistency of our allies demanding more sanctions on Russia for their seizure of Crimea and invading Ukraine while striking deals with Russia to become more dependent on Russia as the source of a strategic commodity like energy.

What is the source of your assertion that US LNG costs two to three times the price of LNG from Russia?
