@7 are you telling me Russians reproduce by selling Germans natural gas
@skells No amount of reproducing right now is going to create 18-36 year olds to be mobilized. I don't see what your response has to do with what I said.
@7 don't disagree, my point is why would you blow the pipe unless you were worried the Germans were going to cave

As far as I can tell, Russia has no interest in sabotaging their own gas pipeline.
There is however a country that was against Nordstream 2 from the start and has maintained consistently that it shouldn't go into operation.
This country has a geopolitical interest in not having Germany buy gas from Russia and also an economic interest, since they sell liquefied natural gas to Germany.
This country's president also said he can guarantee that Nordstream 2 won't go into operation.
@skells On that point I don't disagree; Denmark and Norway's timing was too good as well for what, 1/5th the output.
Or at least, that's what the better minds on that side of the geopolitical debate are saying.
