European Union prepares public for winter gas siege Concerned that supplies from Russia may be completely cut

Yes it would but during WW III I doubt that many LNG tankers would make it across the ocean.

There seems to be a lot of nascent desire for a world war among posters here. Why?

No need for a broader war, at the current rate Ukraine will have destroyed the Russian armed forces by winter.

Tell the wife and kids, this year “you are getting HEAT for Christmas.”

You forgot to mention that all across America in our gas producing areas men will be saying to the wife and kids "here is the new car I promised you honey, and I got the kids everything on their Santa lists except for those tablets and phones, I don't want the kids watching liberal crap on Youtube. I got them their first guns instead."

European Union prepares public by telling them 'the elites' will be warm and cozy and well fed - and common citizens will be cold and hungry. Then they'll preach the lie about 'green energy'...

I do not lust for WW III, I am just trying to tamper the enthusiasm of the neocon Freepers’ dreams of empire through war.

Bring back the Winterhilfswerk cans!

This is Build Back Better. Enjoy!

That one twink in the pic has a classic visage, what is known in Germany as Backpfeifengesicht aka "A Punchable Face"; It would be cathartic just on general principles, if someone would make good on that.

Just one? 🤔😅✌

Well no - while America has plenty of product, a surplus of natural gas, export is a different matter entirely. One, it has to be compressed and liquefied on our end, and then the same in reverse on their end. This requires special facilities that we don’t have. Not enough anyway, and they don’t either. In between, requires these absolutely humongous natural gas tankers that are not plentiful. And frankly, a sitting duck for a drone strike or missile, frankly.

Who is going to insure a huge natural gas tanker crossing the ocean during a war?

It’s all very inefficient and laborious expensive compared to what they had with with direct Russian pipelines, even if it were possible.

Well it is a matter of degree ... lol

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Thanks for the link. I was not aware of all this bullshite coming from the WH. Though...I don’t think it had much to do with Biden.

Thanks for the example of defeatist mentality that seems so common in our nation today. Based on your perspective that shipping is complicated, and you need all kinds of "special facilities" and it would be hard to insure ships crossing the ocean during a war, it must be a miracle from God that the people running factories in China managed to become a world power by making cheap stuff and shipping it all over the world.

Instead of just filling up tanks with LNG they had to develop an entire ecosystem of factories, trucks, cranes, containers, packaging, and management systems to be able to deliver just about everything you see in a modern American store. Computers, air conditioners, tools, toasters, and so on.

How on earth did they figure it all out? How did the get insurance for the ships? Where did those big cranes that unload the ships come from?

We're just doomed. We could never figure out how to ship some liquified natural gas to Europe. Maybe the Chinese could help us out?

Just cuddle up next to one of those glorious windmills.... The Germans will be proud of their own misery.

[rktman]

No doubt Amazon could do it with tomorrow delivery if ordered in the next hour and twelve minutes......😊🙌🌍

I don't understand all the twitterpations here.

I lived in Germany for 4 years, and winters were always cold. All my radiators did was keep the ice off the windows.

I think these fears are overblown.

[Freedom4US]

Pay attention to what I wrote - not what you think I wrote.

The LNG facilities to do what you suggest, they don’t exist. They are not going to magically appear in the next month or two.

If you think that is “defeatist” I don’t know what to tell you. It’s a matter of logistics, and the numbers don’t scale. Europe uses a LOT of natural gas.

Shipping from the United States is under war attack?

[McGruff]

Let them chop wood.

[rktman]

And murder trees? Are you 😵?
