Didn’t they do something like this a few years back?

“Germany nationalizes it’s biggest national gas importer”, the State will own the means of production, it’s socialism on steroids. Germany’s green energy policies are coming home to roost.

Ernst Thälmann is smiling from Hell.

Step 1: Germany band natural gas imports.
Step 2: German nationalizes gas importers because they aren’t selling any gas.

Is that about it?

Once the Germans were warlike and mean
But that couldn’t happen again

We taught them a lesson in 1918
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then

If this is the mother of all winters, how much would it cost to have every public place play the germans mocking trump about russian energy on a continuous loop?

See slightly earlier FReeper post to understand and explain what/why this was to be expected:

Something’s wrong with those Aryans. They can’t get over the fact that they started 2 big wars and lost both.

Every couple generations organized and sensible Germans dupe themselves into believing some cult-like, utopian, social-engineering scheme, and drive themselves, and the world over, a cliff.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I wouldn't let the Austrians off the hook.

If you thought NG was expensive when provided by profit motive, wait until you see the price of government incompetence.
