Germany Shuts Nord Stream for Repair, and Europe Holds its Breath-Peter Zeihan
2022-07-11
Germany shut down the Nord Stream 1 Pipeline today for a pre-scheduled 10-day maintenance period. Whether or not Russian natural gas will resume westward flows to Germany after repairs are made is anybody's guess.

The 55 bcm/yr pipeline is a key component of the energy détente forged between Germany--the economic and manufacturing heart of Europe--and post-Cold War Russia. It has also inculcated a German dependency on Russian gas that has shaped German economic and security policy (and, by extension, Europe's) since the project first entered the planning phase over 20 years ago.

#5   we hear no flamboyant ideological arguments from little Trudeau

Justin Trudeau has considerably more hair than brains. He’s fine with flamboyance, but ideology is yet another costume he puts on and off without understanding.

#1  Another Russophobic propaganda crappy fake news article .
Nothing , no even the junta in Washington will stop the Germans to purchase Russian gas
Canada plans to return a repaired Nord Stream 1 gas turbine to the pipeline operator July 18 and its now on is way.
See it’s funny, when Canada discreetly decides to give in, we hear no flamboyant ideological arguments from little Trudeau, or the disgusting American conservative media about saving democracy, our values, etc. What precipitated the change, I wonder?
