These retards can only see money. Since they were buying the Russian piped gas for cheap, then it must not have been worth much in their view. But that gas price was artificially depressed, since the piped gas was being sold at the Netherlands stock market price at the insistence of the EU, the price had been low for last two years because of LNG dumping by the US and economic slump due to COVID-19 situation reducing gas demand. US was selling LNG at massive price in Asia and dumping their excess in Europe at marginal price. Now that Russian piped gas is not available, the EU is seeing the real cost of US LNG.
The UK, the idiots who started this whole natural gas stock market exchange idiocy instead of relying on stable long term prices like the other oil and gas countries have been doing for decades, also thought they were immune, because they weren't buying natural gas from Russia. They were buying it from the Netherlands. Which were buying gas from Russia. Real smart. So now they are suffering 4x natural gas price hike despite being a major gas producer themselves.
