Common sense with the Russia/Trump connection.

[Snoslinger]

the comic relief of this place never ceases. back when the right was holding up things for stupid shit, like birth certs, everything was ok and justified. here we have the potus working with a histile country to get himself elected, and racer and co are complaining about the dems holding things up

Story after story all to make sure that Trump takes more time defending himself rather than getting any of the campaign promises done.  It's all by design orchestrated by the left.

Why are Republicans investigating him in both the House and Senate?

1. Because oversight is their job and they refuse to look the other way even when its their "party."

2. Because Trump often leans away from current GOP (RINO) stances and is not a part of the political establishment which scares lifetime politicians.

And these investigations are somehow "orchestrated by the left?"

nope, and if you had any god damn sense it wouldn't you either. explain, in your own words, how you think our military and energy is a threat to Russia.

 

Are you baked?

Where does the vast majority of nat gas in Europe come from?

“Russia will for sure remain Europe’s largest gas supplier for at least two more decades,” even if most of the incremental gains in EU imports are met by LNG from somewhere else, said Vladimir Drebentsov, chief economist for Russia and CIS at BP in Moscow.

 

We just sent our first ship to Poland with nat gas.

Stop spinning all the crap you get spoon fed and read facts for a change.

So which is it.   Make up your mind.  You can only pick one.

 

A.  Energy is a threat to Russia.

B.  Energy is not a threat to Russia.

our energy would not be a threat to Russia, especially if the sanctions are lifted.

is that clear enough?

So exporting LNG to countries currently fueled by Russian NG wouldn't be a threat to Russia.  

Got it.  Thanks

that is damn funny, in several different ways. what we'd supply is a drop in the bucket. once the sanctions get lifted, and exxon gets back into Russia, they won't need US energy at all. for being in the oil business, you aren't very bright tom. or is this all an act?

Exxon has asked the U.S. Treasury Department for permission to bypass sanctions on Russia, as The Wall Street Journal first reported. A senior administration official told CNN that the request "has been in the works for some time," since before the election.

 

A waiver would allow Exxon to resume its joint venture with Russian oil giant Rosneft.

you're welcome

 

 

[Snoslinger]

what a great deal for the Russians - the US gets to send a few boat loads of NG to Europe, and they get to re-open all the spickets, explore for more energy, making themselves billions and billions again.

The first ever shipment of American liquefied natural gas bound for Poland docked earlier this month, chipping away at Russia’s energy dominance in Europe. 

Poland’s Prime Minister Beata Szydlo welcomed the U.S. tanker, Clean Ocean, declaring, “today Poland can say that it is a safe and sovereign country.” Her words underscore the legacy of freedom and innovation — and the sustained productivity and economic growth that it creates — forged by the peaceful energy transformation in America. 
 

In 2013, U.S. production of oil and natural gas surpassed that of Russia, a “shale gale” of abundant energy. Such an achievement is the result of a uniquely American story of the risk-taking entrepreneurs and independent enterprises. 

A hemisphere away, the people of Poland lived under brutal oppression throughout most of the 20^th Century. Many historians conclude that it was Poland, long denied the exercise of freedom and national sovereignty, which sparked the final blow to the Soviet Union. But even with the dissolution of Soviet political control, dependence on Russian energy has proved to be an even more arresting force, shackling Polish economic growth and quality of life.

Poland imports 40 percent of its oil and 60 percent of its natural gas from Russia. While Russia relies on Poland to transport its gas exports across Europe, Poland, unlike its fellow EU members in the west, lacks the infrastructural means to import cheaper gas from other sources. Without competitive leverage to negotiate, eastern-Central European countries are strategically charged higher prices by Russia’s state owned Gazprom.

For Warsaw, the American cargo received at its shores could be the kindling of renewed investment in both national security and economic vitality. 

The European market as a whole imports about 30 percent of the continent’s gas needs from Russia through just three pipelines. For 13 countries in Europe, Russian natural gas constitutes more than75 percent of annual gas imports. For Estonia, Finland and Latvia the number edges near 100 percent .

Russia’s control of energy has deeper implications. In 2009, after a pricing conflict, Russia suspended gas exports to Ukraine for almost two weeks. Like Poland, Ukraine is a transit country, connecting pipelines from Russia to other countries like Bulgaria and Slovakia, who also found their energy supply promptly cut off. Russia’s coercive manipulation of energy has generated intense concern amongst world leader, who have accused the Kremlin of choking access to natural gas unless its neighbors comply on matters of diplomacy

Overdependence on any one source thwarts the development of reliable energy. In America, rising domestic production and falling imports have put the U.S. on the fast track to energy independence, spurring job creation and income growth.

Deploying American natural gas in the global market isn’t simply about trade, but also about bringing competition to anemic economies. Plentiful energy supplies have lowered prices for gas across the world. Last year, Poland opened its first floating liquefied natural gas terminal for imports, following the path of neighboring Lithuania, who saw prices drop by 20 percent when Gazprom was faced with the new prospect of competition.

While affordable energy from American shale fields has weakened Russia’s dominion over energy markets in Europe, the region still faces obstacles. The most recent is the pending Nord Stream 2. The pipeline project would reroute supplies, transporting 80 percent of Russian gas imports through a new single avenue, and most notably, bypassing the Ukrainian network that currently channels about half of Russian's natural gas. It’s Kiev’s only counterweight to Russian control.

European officials have identified energy diversity as a top priority. Warsaw recently signed a gas contract with Qatar, announcing plans to increase imports of liquefied natural gas by 50 percent. 

Building new infrastructure and diversifying energy portfolios to meet demand could marginalize dependence on Russia, bolster economic growth and improve standards of living. American natural gas will help loosen Russia’s grip.

“Days like this go down in history,” Prime Minister Szydlo said. Indeed, they are a beacon signaling a new era to be had for the people both of Poland, and of Europe.

if you think some shipments of more expensive US NG is really going to provide some competition for the Russians, who control pipelines, spickets, markets, etc throughout Europe, I have a bridge to sell you, really cheap.
