Yes the NS2 pipeline will make Germany depend more on Russian gas. Who cares?
The US is looking more and more like a big bully. The Germans want cheap gas. The Russians want German money.
I thought trade made war less likely.
To make the US look even worse, Germany has agreed to accept some US LNG to buy off the US objections.
Now the Russians will get paid to lay the pipe, not the Swiss company. Now the US wants to sanction companies servicing the ships or pipeline. More work for Russians?
The US is a superpower with ADD. We will walk away from Ukraine after we destabilized their country with the coup.
Ukrainians will wish they had jumped in bed with Russia before this is all over.
The Duran guys have been writing and talking about Ukraine and even the Bidens for at least 5 years now.
They estimate that at least $40 billion of US, IMF, and world bank money went to Ukraine but much went back to US and EU crooks via money laundering routes. Ukraine is worse off than before the US 'helped' them.
