Merkel agreed to build an LNG facility under pressure from Trump. She then canceled it after Biden came in.

Also Trump pushed Germany to get defense spending up to 2% of GDP and Merkel refused.

Fast forward a year and Germany is building LNG and 2% of GDP.

Boy, if an LNG ship was hit with a bomb or missile that would make quite a kaboom!

I’m of the opinion that Merkel was a Russian asset going back to her East German commie days.

German leaders are smarter than Biden, they adjust to reality eventually.

“ She then canceled it after Biden came in.”

Same tactic here, will cancel again. Appearances over substance.

Ok, good idea. However, that will take time and where are they going to get a major supplier of LNG? Oh right, until Biteme and handlers came along, we exported a lot of LNG. Hopefully there are some suppliers in that hemisphere.

Kabuki theater. The US and Germany are still buying from Russia. The tough talk is all for show.

The problem is where the going to get the gas from?

LNG facility under Trump makes sense as we were also producing and building the infrastructure (pipeline) on our side

Biden kill all that so they canceled it after Biden came in.

So now who going to provide the gas

The irony is that Putin with his closed European market will likely build oil and gas export ports in the Crimea area and ship to the world

The moron Merkel rejected Israel’s offer to ship gas from Israel’s Leviathon gas fields, which were certified in 2011.

Why?

Maybe the Jew-hating commie bitch preferred supporting her commie buddy Putin.
