1. I don't think the EU/NATO will endure the loss of natural gas.
2. I think our biggest continental European Allies, sire to a history where territorial conflict and position advantage of holding key territory are of much more tangible value then lofty abstract american idealism, understands Russia's motives and positions much better than we do, and as a result do not see Russian action as so evil and intolerable as we do.
3. If you think China, thinking practically of how to reduce pollution while sustaining economic growth, can move from coal to green energy and not to natural gas, you are insane.
