fully funded by European authorities, is to fully replace Russian oil and gas imports (2/3rds of gas and 90% of oil by year’s end).

Ha, Ha, Ha,…..I read Schroeder’s proposal, guess what, he is currently in Moscow negotiating with Vlad! That said, does taking OUR NG and shipping it to the EU ( currently being done) fix anything? No, it further cripples us, why is the West so committed to suicide?
“Schroeder’s proposal, guess what, he is currently in Moscow negotiating with Vlad!”
Gerhard Schroeder does not represent the German Government. After retiring from Government, he has been working for the Russians ever since (Gazprom). He is paid to use his connections and influence to promote Russian interests and policies.
The policy to reduce EU imports of Russian oil and gas comes from the EU, not Schroeder, and has been ratified by many European National leaders and legislatures, including Olaf Scholz, the actual current Chancellor of Germany, as well as the Bundestag.
Schroeder is just a private citizen. He doesn’t negotiate with Vlad, he takes orders from him, and provides information to him, for pay.
“does taking OUR NG and shipping it to the EU ( currently being done) fix anything?”
It makes us money. In fact, we became the world’s largest exporter of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) in the world in the first half of 2022. We are on track for double digit growth in LNG exports next year. All at the expense of Russia’s former market share and revenue. Better that Americans make that money.
