Looks like Trump really is pushing full replacement of Russia as energy provider to Europe and then continue to unleash Ukrainian ability to raze Russian O&G production capacity.

The U.S. is fully prepared to replace Russian gas and oil product supplies to Europe starting today, according to U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright.

While this may be true, saying it out loud signals openly to Russia that they have a green light to eff around without the risk of finding out.

Is this where we apply, "We got the right pigs squealing when Trump is overhead" or whatever it is?

The greatest mistake in the creation of NATO, is the absence of any sort of expulsion processes. I can understand the thinking back then, but with all such things, it ebbs and flows with the sands of time and we are now stuck with member states that actively work against the self interests of the majority. It's frustrating to see in action and how we have to kowtow to the leaders to get them to acquiesce to what should be common grounds.
