Never going to happen. Germany and all of Western Europe is still buying Russian gas and oil as we speak. Western Europe is also vehemently against removing Russia from SWIFT.

US LNG is 40-50% more expensive than Russian gas- and this doesn't take into account the cost of the infrastructure to actually be able to import the gas and use it.

Germany changing it's energy policies hurts Germany- and it only helps the US- who they'd be buying most of their LNG from.
Russia is being disconnected from SWIFT as we type, thank goodness.

Yup literally breaking, and Germany had agreed a couple of days ago.  The last holdouts were Italy, Hungary, and reportedly Cyprus although that turned out to not be true. 

Well, also, the US was hesitant, because our government is full of dipshits and pussies.

Good. 

Also, narratively their army tripping over it's own dick would be a comical outcome.

Time to jettison those from the party who are simply having a moment

In fairness.  That's trying to staff every project at work.  You can pick from a bunch of dumb try hards, or smart guys who are definitely trying to undermine you.  Granted they aren't actively rooting for Russia.
