Of course :-) The funnier / biggest irony is that US and Russia are working together to fix the pipeline, buy distilleries in Germany to sell to the Germans Russian gas at US prices.

    I would not describe this as "US and Russia are working together to fix the pipeline", but more like "some people think about it".

      agreed. The caveat being that the people thinking about it have the power to make it happen, without needing to ask anyone else.

This is a reasonable negotiation pawn. If Russia can be convinced it can somewhat reengage economically after it drops aggression, that can be part of the carrot and stick approach.
