Hasn't the EU started buying liquid gas from the States? So Lavrov is hoping that the US will stop a billion dollar trade and force the EU to buy from russia instead, I can see a flaw in that.
Europe knows: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine in charge of purging the civil service...We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor.” - Claude Malhuret https://youtu.be/wmDVrV7QRrU
Well the Europeans have already said to him stick your Nord Stream II where the sun don't shine. As America and Muscovy are not the only ones with good gas reserves.
They are getting desperate as their economy continues it slow march south.
It's just stupid from a pure self-interest standpoint. If Russian gas isn't available, Europe's alternatives in the short term are American LNG and American nuclear in the long run....
Agree. Putin and his ilk are just playing Trump and GOP like a fiddle.
Once the pretend Russia-US GOP relationship has outlived its usefulness Russia will drop them like a sack of rotten potatoes - no way they'll break with China.
Sadly they (US GOP) won't believe it before it actually happens.
SLOOGA (Russian for Servant) Trump WAS #KOMPROMAT Long Ago!
2017-2021: Willfully Retained National Defense Information (#NDI).
2021: Removed That NDI!
2025: Trump Continues, "Grave Damage To National Security".
It’s horrific what’s happening. America is home to racism, bigotry and Nazis.
Soon the decent Americans who can will leave America, just like many had to leave Germany. I’m so sorry America for what’s happened to your country.
Sure when you have nothing but Russian assets sitting at every level in the WH what more would you expect. USSA can go get fucked. Long way back folks.
OMG this is what happens when you exclude the major players and have a country that's not involved, talking to the enemy. They come up with some very arrogant ideas not based in reality. Time to blow up Nord Stream to help America understand that they're not really a player anymore.
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world and when the circus came to town...Remember when the circus came to town and you were frightened by the clown...
As we also try to restore Russia’s fertilizer market & tank Canada’s.
Does MAGA feel played yet as we continue to see “America first” = Russia first? What exactly does America get out of any of this? & why tf are my tax dollars paying for it?
I don't consider myself an enemy of Russia. I consider myself an enemy of the kleptocrats led by Putin who seized control in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union. They're pirates and Trump is a bird of a feather.
The Heritage Foundation did this to America.
Punish them.
Sorry but blame is irrelevant. It's up to the Russian people to rise up like it's up to us to rise up. Period. We're going to find ourselves in New Berlin if we don't figure this out quickly.
I knew there was a window, I'd hoped it would be further down the road.
I think the best strategy is to accept where we are and plan for the transition beyond.
Let's try to reduce the consequences of where we're at and look for that kernel of a rose in this pile of manure.
Also be aware that Trump is trying to build The Technate of America, an idea from the 1930s where Greenland, Canada and Panama are part of a US autocratic regime. It was popular with technocrats and American Nazis in the 30s.
Musk's grandfather was a member of the Canadian nazi party which supported The Tectnate of America project. The Musk's later moved to South Africa to live under a white nationalist government and now Elon Musk is trying to create a white nationalist autocracy across North America & Greenland.
Wow!!!
We are now working directly for the Russian government!!!
They want the United States of America to STRONG ARM EUROPE into buying Russians fucking gas!!!!
Do any of you people out there want to suck the cock of Putin????
Trump is playing against historical forces here. The U.S and Russia have never been close, and this is generational stuff. Not something he can change overnight. Nor can he change at all. The political fallout is coming and already showing. In PA we just elected a dem in a dist that Trump won by 15
After trumps first presidency with his threats about leaving NATO, kissing Putins arse etc,
Does America really think that the warrior nations of Europe haven't got a plan B?
Remember neither America or Russia are warrior nations as can be seen by the beatings they take against real warrior nations
Remember when Russia constructed NordStream2 the ENTIRE time Trump was President and then he blamed Biden for letting them finish it? And now Trump is going to be the CEO of NordStream?
At the top of Putin’s wish list are destroy NATO and end sanctions. If Trump pushes on ending sanctions we know he has been compromised. Putin is hurting in Ukraine.
And while we’re at it how about having US intelligence restart cyber attacks against Russia. Why the hell did they stop?
Europe is not going to give PUTIN that much leverage over them Energy has been weaponized so Europe now has to fend for itself the U.S. is a lost cause
The influence the US has on Europe is waning with each passing second. Hopefully there will be a full decoupling from the US for Europe, Australia, Canada, and the UK in the near future. The US can’t be trusted anymore, as it speeds headlong into becoming a fascist state.
A generation of little children told to hide under their little wooden desks during air raid alarm drills, because Russia was planning to attack with an atom bomb, and they feared dying. As teens they braced for an attack during Bay of Pigs. Not WWII bombing in Europe, yet deep rejection of Russia.
If Americans want to preserve their influence on Europeans, they’d better continue behaving as true allies, starting by providing Ukraine what they need to defeat Russia and its war criminal at its head. Else American influence in Europe is already an old story
#TrumpIsARussianAsset and #TrumpIsATraitor now going after voter rolls. Soon Americans will learn why he said „you don’t have to vote anymore“ -way into Fascism! #Idiocracy
Its fine. EU and Canada can work it out. Canada has all the gas supplies required by Europe. US admin being douches has one benefit, allowing other allies to more fully contribute to each other
Relationship between governments is pretty much FUBAR and might only change when Democrats regain the presidency, because the GOP has lost all credibility.
Are you sure that the US will allow your reentry after holidays in Europe? I am joking, but anything seems possible right now...
In EU, there are also deportations the last few months. Germany has around 240,000 waiting for deportation. If you are illegal, you should be deported.
When people are considered illegal in Germany (because their claim to asylum is denied) Germany attempts to deport them (it needs the agreement of the recipient state).
I see it differently for the US, were 'illegals' often work, pay taxes and have been part of their community for decades.
Also, you guys deport them back to where they came from (we’ll ignore the whole UK-Rwanda thing) rather than sending them to some random country that just happens to have space in their prisons.
Yes, that is true. At least we try to. But there sure have been some attempts at shady deals.
The problem is that everyone who wants to apply for asylum has to do that in the EU country he first entered. They often ignore that and travel immediately to their desired destination.
That may be different from nation to nation - in Germany they do not have a work permit while their status is not determined (which has severe disadvantages for them because some of these legal acts take a long time and they can do nothing but sit around). These processes take much too long.
The American dumpster fire is out of control, pretty soon they might get pretty occupied with self reflection, healing, and calibrating the scales of the Statue of Liberty
I’m REALLY sick and tired of people automatically saying “next 4 yrs.” Fuck NO!! This country and those who were once our allies (still should be) won’t survive 4 yrs.
Dear Left,
This is how you have convinced half of your own country that you are not just political opposition, but not their fellow Americans at all.
And here we are.... you not learning a single thing from your cascade of losses.
People are dying as you continue your same old games
Kinda crazy that the USA doesn’t want to sell the EU their gas, and rather insist Russia have that business instead.
Unless, we all admit Trump works for Putin, and the USA government is in part complicit, compromising NATO.
All as Putin dreamed for.
47 is already targeting gas from Venezuela, I believe, so this is happening. I believe that actions to remove ppl on this admin and supreme court justices are the actions that need to happen because in short order, there will be no laws or constitution. The supreme court fucked up making him a king
Russia is planning their annexation of this country if we don't stop tRump and his merry band of dumb fucks, grifters, and disturbed idealogues. And we will all be broke and powerless while he dismantles the economy and all support and services.
Sometime this year they will want a Yalta 2.0 summit, with #Putin, #Trump and #Xi, to carve up the world into spheres of control; Putin will have Europe and Central Asia, Xi will get Asia and the Western Pacific, and Trump will claim North America.
That perspective aligns with the shifting geopolitical landscape, where Russia likely perceives an opportunity to exploit tensions between the US and EU. Given the increasing fractures within NATO, Moscow may see this as a strategic moment to recalibrate its approach. What will this translate into?
The UA Russia USA cease fire talks were hosted by the other country in the fossil fuel axis of evil Saudi Arabia. They love holding the world hostage with or w/o Trump
I’m fucking praying that Russian gas becomes a greater and greater liability (politically, scientifically, and economically) and trying to “force it” brings both trump and putin down.
They can try. Giving money to Russia is would be like paying for the gun someone is going to kill you with. We are not buying, so that leaves the US and China as potential customers. Best of luck with that.

If it’s still like this next year, it likely will be like this until there is no US.

Europe are quitting all gas from Russia and he can forget about Nord stream to delivere Putin-gas anywhere else 🖕
That was him issuing orders to Trump.
Isn’t love grand 💕🥰😘
Unacceptable
It will not stand
US GOP wants to break the China-Russia alliance, and they're willing to throw Europe under the bus if (they think) it can accomplish this.
Shame on them - but gives us a chance to become less reliant on US.
Once the pretend Russia-US GOP relationship has outlived its usefulness Russia will drop them like a sack of rotten potatoes - no way they'll break with China.
Sadly they (US GOP) won't believe it before it actually happens.

Hopefully it has been modelled and counter strategies developed.
Have you had enough abuse yet?
Sound like the same playbook to me.

Projection. Trump and his sycophants are the parasites.
The latter would be easy - they just would have to pull out their troups out of Ukraine and start real peace negotiations.
As for a ressurection of the GazProm-Blackmail in Europe - won't happen.
Cute.

Trump has assured Putin that France and such will do whatever he tells them to do
Europe's weakness is everyone's loss
#ETTD
And we have free speech in Europe, you can insult our leaders without fear of being deported.
I’m just hoping this sham of an administration doesn’t FUBAR our relationship with the region.
