LNG involves very long contracts and commitments, which were/are needed to justify the cost to build the LNG compression terminal.  Commitments must come BEFORE construction to justify the economics.  Terminals are always on sea coasts, so the compression goes right into large ships.

It follows that LNG is shipped to other costs where there is a LNG Decompression terminal.

Much of Europe is land locked AND/OR the decompression terminals don't exists AND/OR the infrastructure doesn't exist to ship compressed or decompressed gas from the nearest coast.  And by the time you've compressed/shipped, decompressed and re-shipped, the cost per BTU is 10x Russian Gas.  Moreover, Russian gas does not come in LNG form, but directly usable through existing infrastructure.  

Logistics and infrastructure make what you are proposing economically impossible.  

Finally, with Natural Gas at all time lows per BTU's the economic incentive to build the infrastructure needed to supply US LNG (or any LNG) to Europe has zero traction.

Oh and Biden is currently blocking any new LNG contracts, but he's going to lose that battle is he wants Ukrainian aid.

Dam, thanks for sharing that.  sadly i didn't know how feasible it would be. 
I'm just watching and trying to find/think of ways we can wean EU off of Russia's supplying of them and cripple them economically and internally with out having to send B's in aid to Ukraine so we can benefit from it as well. 

Back to the drawing board.
