We are not going to hurt Russia’s LNG exports.
We don’t have the capacity or the infrastructure to do that, nor do we have a way to force other countries to buy from us unless we say we are going to bomb you if you don’t buy from us

Europe is paying three times the price of natural gas in the US. Russia is using that huge profit to fund 50% of its federal budget. There would be no force involved on our part. It’s simply supply and demand. To the extent we can supply LNG reliably, which the Russians haven’t always done, we enable the Europeans to avoid Russian gouging. We have current LNG export facilities under construction. Others are waiting on permits. Russia just doubled the price of gas to Ukraine. Is that something you approve of?

What’s not to like about letting the market place cut down on terrorism and restrict cash that the Russians need for their adventures?
