Headline is in English while the content is in German? How about offer some sort of translation? I do this with articles in Norwegian, perhaps you could do something similar?
I think both Germany and Russian had almost equal sums (HUGE money) invested in those pipelines. This attack was as much on Germany as it was on Russia, i.m.o. The Germans were annoyed months ago about being pressured by other countries and for the last month or so their own people were putting pressure on them, too. I guess you all know about the Polish-Norwegian (a Scandinavian country anyway) pipeline being opened the very day after Nordstream was hit?
Much of the economic war so far has been an attack on German industry. The new pipeline however only has throughput that’s a fraction of Nord Stream. So, it couldn’t possibly act as a replacement.
I think I read it replaces 60% of Russia’s gas for Poland - so, still big money. But, the USA and IsraEl have ‘generously’ offered to ship gas to Europe - always ‘helping’ out.
So, just to provide some context Nord Steam 1 and 2 were 55 billion cubic metres (BCM) each and the Poland-Norway pipeline is 2.4 BCM. It’s a drop in a bucket by comparison.
Well they
mustwant enter into NATO so they would better be not angering their overlords!The German article says the Swedish prime minister REJECTS media reports claiming that her country blocks a joint investigation. This is a wrong translation.
The correct headline must be “Sweden does not block joint investigations”.
