Reply to comment by Core2score in Germany says it is no longer reliant on Russian energy by scot816

Russia really doesn't have any options to sell gas at this point. Their ballyhooed Siberia-China pipeline was a dictators' vanity project and the route was designed according to which oligarch was owed favors at the time, and consequently won't make any money.

They can't build LNG terminals for lack of capital, technical workforce, and western equipment.

So while they're able to sell oil, a huge chunk of their gas is stranded at this point.

*burned. You can see the flames all the way to Finland from them having to burn the gas because of lack of demand.

(environmentally burning it is bad but just releasing it is much much worse)
