Russian gas flows east via Yamal-Europe pipeline for fifth day
Reuters ^ | December 25, 2021

The Yamal-Europe pipeline that usually sends Russian gas to Western Europe was operating in a reverse mode for a fifth day on Saturday, shipping fuel from Germany to Poland, data from German network operator Gascade showed.

...

Putin has also said that Germany was reselling Russian gas to Poland and Ukraine rather than relieving an overheated market.

...

Gazprom spokesman Sergey Kupriyanov told the NTV channel that the company was ready to supply additional gas within its long-term contracts, which would be cheaper than short-term deals concluded on European spot market.

Reverse flows from Germany to Poland - and probably to Ukraine as well - stand at between 3 million cubic metres (mcm) and 5 mcm per day, he said, reiterating that accusations that Gazprom was undersupplying gas are "groundless".

Here's the Scoop, Germany is now gouging both Eastern and Western European Nations by reselling Russian Gas on the Jacked Up spot market, while Russia will continue to sell gas at significantly lower contract prices to anyone that asks, but Biden doesn't get his cut.

… but Biden doesn't get his cut.

brandon doesn't need his cut. If he didn't shut down the Canadian pipeline and fracking we could have continued to export our petroleum surplus and domestic gasoline prices would be a dollar a gallon lower. F**k Joe Biden!

Particularly Germany, UK and France aligned with US/Globalist/EU Green Policy stupidity and convinced European Nations to abandon the normal contract purchasing of Natural Gas which included Russian Gas.

Germany, UK and France promised Solar and Wind would power Europe and Spot Natural Gas would cover any slight shortages in wind and solar.

They Lied.

The suckers refused to deal or contract with Gazprom (Russian) Gas, so Germany screws 'em on gas in storage, and ships it in reverse on Eastern Europe's own gas pipelines.

It seems to me that if the Russians were to invade the Ukraine, the Europeans would not do much because they don’t want so much of the gas they rely on to keep warm and run their factories could be shut off by the Russians.

It seems Europeans would rather bribe Biden and freeze than buy discount gas from Russia.

It's OK by me.

Biden's a genius, he gets to skyrocket gas prices in Europe, raise 'em a lot in America for Americans and get a cut of both cons.

The peak monthly output of all the US producers is enough for Germany to run just 5 days.

By Sergio Chapa (Bloomberg) —
Cold-stricken Europe is drawing a flotilla of U.S. liquefied natural gas cargoes amid an energy crisis that has sent gas prices to record levels.
Facing a winter shortage and little relief from the continent’s main supplier Russia, natural gas in Northwest Europe is trading for about $57.54 per million British thermal units, up almost a third from a week earlier. That’s roughly $24 higher than Asian prices and more than 14 times higher than gas being sold on U.S. benchmark Henry Hub.
Out of 76 U.S. LNG cargoes in transit, 10 tankers carrying a combined 1.6 million cubic meters of the heating and power plant fuel have declared destinations in Europe, shipping data compiled by Bloomberg shows. Another 20 tankers carrying an estimated 3.3 million cubic meters appear to be crossing the Atlantic Ocean and are on a path to the continent. Nearly one-third of the cargoes come from Cheniere Energy Inc.’s Sabine Pass LNG export terminal in Louisiana, the shipping data shows.

Oh I'm not suggesting the United States can fill the gap in Europe, just cheer leading for domestic LNG exports.

The US economy needs some good news for a change.

Yep, I am glad that they are making a profit, but the point is that the European gas regulations were rigged against pipeline operators with the idea that LNG is going to replace their supply. An idiotic idea to start with.

1,6 million cubic meters in ten tankers are nice, except the annual Euro consumption is 626 BILLION. You can send all the tankers and multiply by ten and it still won’t make a difference.

I believe you have to make the conversion from LNG to natural gas.

Sure, but then the liquid fraction is counted in tons.

Gazprom sends money to Hunter.

Sorry, no evidence Gazprom sends money to Hunter Biden, However Ukraine crook Vadym Pozharskyi arranged employment at Ukrainian Burisma Holdings Limited at $50,000 per month in exchange for introducing that same Ukrainian, Vadym Pozharskyi, to his father President Joe Biden:

Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad

However US former Ambassador and Russian Lobbyist Richard Burt did bribe Joe Biden with a $4,000.00 campaign contribution:

Biden received funds from top Russia lobbyist and American Ambassador to Germany, Richard Burt

Seems like the bad guys are still Ukrainian American and German.

You should rethink.
