I'm aware that Poland is in bad situation too. I live here and I don't support my government (especially their idiotic effective ban on wind power). But that's just the last 7 years out of 33 years that we're independent, and even the current government mostly did the right thing when it comes to Russia. Poland was in much worse situation than Germany. In 1989 we got independent and all of our infrastructure was tightly coupled with USSR. We were also dirt poor and had infrastructure in shambles. Since then we decoupled a little, built interconnects with other countries, an LNG terminal which provides about half our our gas, this year we also finish Baltic pipe to Norway and when it's ready we'll be fully independent of Russian gas. Germany went the other way and increased their dependency on Russian gas in last 3 decades.
