Nord stream 2 was never operational, Nord stream 1 was in maintenance if I remember correctly. But it raises the question if there are ever going to be operational again..
- fffobar 4y agoIt was in "maintenance", as claimed by the Russian end operators. Germany has successfully pressured Canada to send a replacement turbine to Russia (violating sanctions), after which the Russians said that the turbine isn't any good, it's missing some documents and they will not take and install it. Then Scholz decided to take a photo shoot in front of the massive turbine, looking all sad. The Paper Chancellor in full glory :D

One of the most impressive feats of pipeline engineering in the world and his inability to cooperate with other nations has catalyzed its destruction. In some poetic fashion, it makes sense. A pipeline like this is symbolic of interstate cooperation. Not surprising it would not survive the breakdown of such cooperation that he instigated. When a state engages in medieval-style aggression, it can't have nice things.
