Senator McCain said (

Gas redistribution
America is thinking about redistribution of the global gas market.
Senator John McCain has stated that the US may start supplying liquefied natural gas to Europe by 2020.This explains a lot, in particular the meaning of sanctions against Russia. McCain makes no secret of this: he is very happy about the failure of South Stream.
According to the senator, he himself put a lot of effort into it. McCain told (
https://sputniknews.com/20141203/1015468795.html) how he pressured members of the Bulgarian government to stop cooperating with Russia.
All this in order to start supplying American gas to Europe immediately. It will be much more expensive than Russian gas, but there is a chance to use the popular idea of energy independence of Europe from Russia.
Recall that the struggle for redistribution of the gas market is not the first year.
In 2009 shale gas entered the arena, and in 2010 the main rivals among the suppliers were clearly defined. Four years ago some EU member-countries and the EU as a whole negotiated with Ashgabat over long-term supplies of Turkmen gas to Europe via Trans-Caucasus and Turkey, or via the Black Sea via Georgia-Ukraine-Moldova.
Low production costs, huge amounts of resources, high quality and low domestic consumption are the main factors that strengthen the competitiveness of Turkmenistan's gas reserves, the Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper noted in (
http://www.rg.ru/2010/10/27/gaz.html) October 2010.
It is also worth remembering that George Soros, on March 21, 2014, proposed "the strongest sanction" that could affect Russia - a reduction in world oil prices.
The U.S., Soros said, could unseal and start selling its strategic oil reserve of about 700 million barrels. The International Energy Agency estimates daily global oil consumption at 90 million barrels. Shipments from Russia to the United States totaled 16.3 million barrels in 2013, giving Russia 13th place on the list of importers.
A proposal by famed billionaire investor Soros on how to bring down global oil prices was then hotly debated in the U.S. Senate.
"America can and should be an energy superpower," said Mary Landrue (on the Russian Foreign Ministry's blacklist), head of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. - The last thing Putin and his entourage would want is to compete with the United States in the energy race.
Back in June, McCain introduced a bill in Congress proposing to lobby for the interests of U.S. gas producers. The main goal is to take Russia's place on the oil market.
Here it is interesting to recall Shell's executive (
http://www.fxteam.ru/forex/obzor-finansovoi-pressy/33822.html) Peter Voser's statement in May 2012 that gas demand in the U.S. itself should grow because "gas is replacing coal in energy production and gas transportation costs are rising. He also added that a low price would force some producers to cut production, allowing prices to rise.
The widespread use of techniques such as horizontal drilling and fracking has led to a boom in U.S. gas production.
Therefore, the only possibility for the U.S. to sell its gas to Europe remains the disruption of Russian gas supplies to the EU via Ukraine, for which the #Maidan was started, and the prevention of the construction of new pipelines.In this case, the Americans do not act by themselves, but by the hands of the "old" Europe, which is in complete political dependence on the U.S., but sits quite confidently on the Russian "Nord Stream". This situation has caused a great deal of indignation in Eastern European countries.Congressional Research Service report (
