The problem was also, that everyone had secondary motives in that conversation. Poland and Ukraine earned money by passing gas through from Russia, the US and UK sell LNG and oil and would benefit from it. And do not forget, Germany is historically twice in the situation to keep the balance between east and west. Once after WWII and once in 1990 after the reunification. pumping money into Russia was also part of a global appeasement politics. That geopolitical game is well understood. As a German, that is what I remember of that screaming. And now, some months in, we still have no clear statement who blew up the pipelines. This whole pipeline game is far more complex than just "bad reliance of Germany from Russia"
