![Second part of the response:
But then beyond that, [it] turns out that those promises are physically impossible. Moving money is one thing, but moving oil and gas involves infrastructure, especially liquefied natural gas. That’s a tough problem. You require very specialized infrastructure to load and unload liquefied natural gas. The U.S. exports a lot, and we have specialized facilities for that, which are running at capacity. So we actually don’t have the ability to export any more. Then receiving it on the other end also requires specialized facilities and infrastructure, and the Europeans are also running at capacity. So they have no ability to take any more U.S. LNG and probably no ability to take any more U.S. oil. And they could invest. But they’re promising to do this over three years, and these investments take time. There’s basically no chance that they would even be physically capable of importing any significant fraction of what they just promised within the three-year timeframe that was part of the deal.
So I think that, and they know that, basically they just scammed Donald Trump. They humiliated themselves and then abased themselves before him—but they also made a fool of him. They also made a promise that they know they can’t fulfill. And then they’ll come up with all sorts of reasons why, Oh, I’m sorry. They’ll approach him with tears in their eyes and say, Sir, but all kinds of reasons why it can’t happen. But they know perfectly well that this is not going to happen.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r5cvdda5cyajubzsvhu3wok3/bafkreidt4gh3m3viv5dzfokw2vigxmc2u3dm6myufvxbsqxdfaq6ngrfxy)
!["Experience suggests that if men cannot struggle on behalf of a just cause because [it] was victorious in an earlier generation, then they will struggle against the just cause. They will struggle for the sake of struggle. They will struggle, in other words, out of a certain boredom: for they cannot imagine living in a world without struggle. And if the greater part of the world in which they live is characterised by peaceful and prosperous liberal democracy, they will struggle against that peace and prosperity, and against democracy.
