That would be so beautiful man but something tells me Angie Merkel might just dig in her big heels on this one. If you didn’t already know: Nobody in Europe wants this thing, folks. Nobody except Germany and Russia, so I guess it’s going to happen.
France presses Germany to ditch Nord Stream 2 over Navalny France has urged Germany to scrap a major gas pipeline project — Nord Stream 2 — with Russia. EU members are considering sanctions over the detention of Alexei Navalny and a crackdown against his supporters.
“It’s a decision for Germany, because the pipeline is in Germany.”
It bypasses everybody else and goes straight to Germany. It’s another bilateral thing in the wonderful European world of solidarity. The German government regularly warns others about “going it alone” (Aleingänge) and how they would never do such a thing and then do there next Aleingang. See Merkel letting the migrants in 2015 and then trying to distribute them equitably among the other European nations – they didn’t play along. It’s a German thing.
