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

At the expense of the US citizens? We are now paying 100 percent more for NG, now $8, February $4. The US citizen is getting fleeced. Shipping our NG to the EU is screwing the US consumer. Keeping our NG here would guarantee much, much lower US consumer prices.
As for Schroeder negotiating in Moscow, he represents the German manufacturing industry privately, hired by corporations, they know their government is hell bent on shutting them down over Biden’s clown war. They are not happy going bankrupt supporting the suicidal sanctions.. Sending an “ official” German government sanctioned rep to Moscow would admit their sanctions policy is failed and would expose their folly.

Yeah, so no one is falling for Russia’s line, that Germany should stay dependent on Russian gas, and the USA should not take that market share for the long term.
All the Governments involved are clear on the reasons, and committed to seeing it through - including enduring the inconveniences and paying high costs this Winter.
Putin has fatally wounded the goose that laid the golden eggs. It is dying slowly, before our eyes
Not only are folks not falling for the FSB “Surrender Dorothy - Resistance is Futile” appeal, but Russia also seems headed for official designation as a State Sponsor of terrorism, joining only four other pariahs, on its fast track to becoming Greater North Korea. The Senate approved a resolution today 100-0. The House has a stricter proposal that will probably com up soon (sponsored by Ted Lieu).
