Wouldn't this put Germany at the mercy of Russia?
edit: Downvoted for asking a question. It seems people forgot that Russia is always threatening with cutting the gas supply.
- betaby 10y agoAny reputable media with 'Russia is always threatening with cutting the gas supply'? Especially Germany which has direct Nord Stream and upcoming Nord Stream2 ? It's other way around, Germany harass other countries,like Bulgaria and prevent them to build South Stream. Looks like you are victim of anti-Russia propaganda. Russia WANTS to expand it gas export.

- cnlevy 10y agoWestern European countries are the best gas client of Russia; Ukraine often didn't have money to pay Russia, as well as political disputes.
- PerfectDlite 10y ago> Ukraine often didn't have money to pay Russia But Russia cut _all_ gas supply, stopping gas flow to Germany and other customers.
- ricardonunez 10y agoThat's exactly why I'm referring, and is not even the only point. We could even talk about invading other countries. It seems obvious that it could be another card to hold in any future negotiations. I just noticed it in the map that they will control it and got curious. I don't know how is it propaganda.
- trhway 10y ago>Wouldn't this put Germany at the mercy of Russia? There is another line is spinning up too - through Caspian Sea, Turkey, etc. >It seems people forgot that Russia is always threatening with cutting the gas supply. Russia is an opportunistic bully. The key thing to success here is to know whom you can bully around and whom you can't. Germany is of the latter :)
