No Russian gas => American LNG. That's why.
that too !
But on twitter it is #StandWithUkraine not #StandWithAmericanGas. Leftists and Democrats who are against fracking and the interests of natural gas companies are the most vocal in condemning Russia. I don't see the economic explanation panning out.
What does a hashtag have to do with what people believe in? I am talking about the economy here and the reality is that Europe will be in dire need of LNG if Russian gas imports stop.
It's an example of the expression some are giving to the current situation. Of course it reflects what people believe. Sure, there can be dishonest framing from the elites. But your average liberal is going to take things at face value.
