I was unaware it was dead. I was under the impression that despite the brewing trouble with Russia, Germany was planning to use this pipe to buy more Russian gas. It's possible that Scholtz has different ideas about that than Merkel, I suppose.
- zx85wes 5y agoThe SPD has always been on the moderate side when it comes to Russia. His Green coalition partners are NATO hawks though.

So naturally they are not happy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_(society) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_(society)

- stjohnswarts 5y agoI would guess because Russia has shown itself to be a bad actor over and over? They kill/imprison people just for being gay. Imagine what they do to dissidents and those who don't "go with the Russian flow". Dealing with Russia of today is dealing with the devil.
