Somebody should explain economics to the Polish prime minister, and why Russian pipeline natgas was cheaper than a smaller source of natgas that everyone suddenly wants.

Oh, that's easy! Because Germany's Merkel thought becoming dependent on Russian gas would make Russia less bellicose!

President Trump had it right.

To be fair, the stew that's on the boil now had lots and lots of cooks, and lots of ingredients.

The cheap Russian energy built Germany up into the EU's economic powerhouse.
