I’m no expert on this... if fact I’m not as smart as these two bit politician, but I know this...
If my country is importing 70% + of it’s natural gas from Russia, and Russia gets mad a me, for what ever reason, they can shut off my gas....Then what?
These people are foolish....
Indeed. Recall that the US embargoed oil shipments to Japan in the summer of 1941.
In this case, Russia can shut off shipments to Germany at any time, “due to technical difficulties.”
Merkel better understand Trump will not be committing the United States to a “Berlin Airlift” of natural gas.
Well an honest good question or 2 would be:
-does Germany have other natgas options? (Or other energy options viable now?)
-what do other neighboring nations do for natgas, and what is the context of their capabilities or options?
Yes...shut down all your nuke and coal power plants and let the Russians control most of your energy!
Well, “Merkel the Yerkel” plays the victim/pity card...waaaahhhhhhhh.

Getting to Polish coal mines only took a week last time. The roads are better now. Easy peasey.
