European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen suggesting replacing Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) with U.S. exports in a phone conversation with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Nov. 8.

Von der Leyen spoke with Trump three days after his victory in the Nov. 5 presidential election.

Replacing Europe’s supplies of Russian LNG was “one of the topics” the two leaders discussed, von der Leyen told reporters in Budapest.

. . .

The European Union imposed its first major restrictions on Russian gas, including LNG, in its 14th sanctions package in June. Russia still remains Europe’s second-largest importer of LNG, after the U.S.

      That in no way precludes one from being a tanky, but let’s explore:

      • As if their defense wasn’t heavily reliant upon the US umbrella and budget that dwarfs their capability
      • As if we didn’t bail them the fuck out in WWII.
      • As if this very fucking action by the EU isn’t proof of that, itself.

      God, I can’t believe you actually got me defending our own military industrial complex. But hey, I really hope you prove me wrong for their sake.

          Lmao of course this is all you’ve got in response. This is why people don’t take you seriously.

            Toxic masculinity doesn’t deserve a real response. They’ll just respond with another caveman answer. Seen it a hundred times before.
