Europe Faces Economic Crisis as Russian Gas Supplies Dwindle
-
Germany and Europe face deindustrialization due to the loss of cheap Russian gas. The US promised cheap LNG exports but this was a fantasy.
-
President Biden paused LNG projects to appease activists, further damaging prospects for affordable gas.
-
LNG will always be far more expensive than Russian piped gas. The West has no serious economic growth plan.
-
America is dismissing the destruction of the European economy as no longer being competition. This is folly rather than strategy.
-
The gas crisis is radically shaking up German politics, with Eurosceptic parties surging. Europe may drift from American influence, leaving Britain's position uncertain.
