That I understand well enough, the Ukrainians simply don’t want Russia to get the piece of the gas “pie” that they want for themselves.
Why the support for this bill...is it simply all the Left and RINOs, and is that circling back to the entire Trump-Russia issue?
And is Trump going to sign it so someone might view him as being hard on the Russians?
None of this really makes sense to me. I don’t like it, and if it is simply an issue of Ukrainian gas (with kickbacks to American Leftist politicians) over Russian gas and having Europeans put at the mercy of depending on Russia for energy, I say we keep out of it.
There is no Ukrainian gas to speak of. The original historic pipeline to pump Russian gas to Europe is in Ukraine. That historically gave Ukraine a power to set transit fees the way it see fit, to siphon some for itself for free or block transit.
