This is good, Europeans must feel like jackasses now :lol:

US looks to push Russia out of EU's energy market while American tankers ship Russian LNG to Europe
Tankers run by US energy corporations are delivering liquefied natural gas (LNG) bought in Russia to the Antwerp Gas Terminal in Belgium, reports Belgian daily Le Soir, as part of an investigation based on the 'Paradise Papers' leak.
On Sunday, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), reportedly financed through George Soros funds, released over 13 million documents from the world’s leading offshore law companies. The documents revealed that four cargo ships owned by Navigator Holdings bought gas produced by Russian petrochemical company Sibur.
The LNG was reportedly loaded at the Russian Baltic port of Ust Luga. The financial papers also revealed that US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has a 35 percent stake in Navigator Holdings, which is registered in the Marshall Islands.
The probe reveals the EU, which is actively building new LNG terminals to lessen its dependence on Russian natural gas, is currently purchasing Russian fuel but at a higher price and technically not from Russia.

Funnily, this has been reported here as nothing but small news. Seems like nobody actually cares. The focus has been mostly on how to tackle tax havens.

LMAO

And the sanctions crowd just keep screaming "Sanctions!" without ever stopping to wonder why no sanctioned country in history has ever even batted an eye at the prospect.

What did Russia done wrong? Russians want to sell and they generally don't care who will they sell to, Europeans want to buy but they are listening the middle men that they should not buy from Russia, but from him. Blame the middle men or buy from Russia, simple ;)

I have said million times... Europe doesn't need the Americans.
