“I think most here would rather pay $2 per gallon than $5 regardless any politics behind the pricing.”
Finally, someone who gets it. I understand that Russia wants the pipeline because it brings in money and gives them some measure of control over those nations who use it. I understand that the S doesn’t want it for those very same reasons, however, these are independent nations and they get to make up their own minds. How would we feel if some nation tried to tell us what to do (that would cost us more money and create problems of supply). That said if we want to prevent this the answer is to undercut the Russian price. With our fracking we now have a surplus, use that to supply the Euro-nations and take away Putins’ profits. I don’t like dictators, be they individuals or nations.

That’s it. Nobody bans US imports in Europe.
