Germans could decided to garner sovereignty and go against the wishes of their master the USA and allow the launch of Nord Stream 2?
Hypothetically they could…
Except even if they did? Russia just permanently cut the gas flow in half that will be ever available and they for now have only will ever allow half the gas that will transport through the pipeline…
The other half of the Gaz (Gas) has been allocated and will be sent elsewhere until at least 2028. Domestically to compensate for the reallocation to Asia by the rest of the pipelines. Otherwise, so much gaz is going south that the domestic market will suffer and now that won’t happen…
Soon, the other half will be reallocated and thus the pipeline will be lost in the annuals of time and the EU will never have enough fuel to survive…
The EU and the USA have really put foot in mouth on this situation and are coming very close to never seeing Russian resources again…
Let us hope that Russia cuts the west off 100% from all her resources. Asia will use them…
Time will tell…
