    The European prime mover of support for the Ukraine is no doubt Germany
    and it will be interesting to see what impact, if any, that the Nord Stream
    sabotage will have on that support whether at Government or street levels.

    It is interesting that the US is supplying Germany with LNG at prices 5 to 6 times that of US domestic pricing.

    "To be sure, whoever perpetrated that terrorist attack calculated shrewdly that Russian gas should not flow to Europe for the foreseeable future. The perennial fear in Washington is that a German-Russian proximity may develop if energy ties are restored. Besides, today, US oil companies are having a huge windfall of profits in the European energy market, replacing Russia, by selling LNG at five to six times the US domestic price. " ( source : Pearls & Irritations 12th Oct 2022)

    If the US sabotaged Nord Stream, then IMO the average German will expect US LNG at prices similar to the Russian contract
    price; not 5 to 6 times more expensive than the US domestic price!
