    Russia’s share of EU imports of pipeline gas dropped from around 40% in 2021 to around 6% in 2025.

    In January 2026, the Council adopted a regulation to prohibit both LNG and pipeline gas imports from Russia starting from 18 March 2026, with transition periods for existing contracts. By the end of 2027, all Russian gas imports will be prohibited.

      That’s my point, America isn’t offering you Russia, we’re the ones who cut you off them by literally blowing up your pipelines so you have to buy ours instead. Yall got yourself onto Russian gas, likely because 1. Theirs was the cheapest due to proximity and 2. yall thought you’d have more leverage with Russia than America or China.

          I cannot even understand properly what exactly he tries to tell. Who is the “we”, that bombed the pipelines?

          You think its tinfoil to say the US blew up the Russian pipeline, as reported by Seymore Hersh, and that this had the effect of making Europe less dependent on Russian imports, and [more dependent on US imports](https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=67224#%3A~%3Atext=Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,%25 of U.S.-origin volumes.)?

          This isn’t even controversial. Whats the alternative, that Russia bombed their own pipeline used to supply Europe, and this hasn’t benefitted US energy exports to Europe?

            This begins to make slightly more sense when you apply the logic that tin foil, while deflecting whatever external conspiracy waves, would reflect the interior ones back down. 🤌🏼
