Russia has those EU countries by the balls. The North sea natural gas already goes to the UK and the Norwegian countries. The others are going to be hurting for certain.

If Russia can sell its gas elsewhere than those other countries can get their gas elsewhere.

And Putin laughs at Obama.

No. Putin high-fives Obama and they both laugh at our country.

It would be good for us, but imagine the hoops we would have to go through to establish the infrastructure to ship LNG by ship to the EU in the quantities that replace a pipeline.

And LNG by ship is way more dangerous and expensive.
But it would be good for us if we could get the environuts out of the way.
