what you are discussing is in normal times when all the politician are at eachothers throats. Everyones got a hidden agenda. The powers and solidarity you get in the face of an enemy ensures quick action, especially where no one can point to the nord stream 2 as an option. Also, after some digging i can't seem to find a reliable figure to quote the % of imported energy from russia? the nord was supposed to provide 30% more natural gas than currently utilized, but thats a surplus not a dependency since it was never even turned on. Energy markets have been moving be alot more decentralized in the recent years, not due to any overt action to do so but because energy usage and distribution is much more akin to high frequency trading among grids.
