You don't need to. I would buy Russian gas today at lower prices if there was such choice. By your rhetoric you should not buy anything made in America as it was all built on the principle of exploitation and forced surrender and extraction.
Ah you think Europe's got its own sugar daddy and this sugar daddy's not going to push its own agenda on Europe? LOL You would know that unless of course you agree with the sugar daddy's agenda and thinks it's the correct one to follow.
Danish journalists depicting Mohammed in cartons is US forcing the entire world to join its propaganda war? LOL Yeah you are DEFINITELY not European or from Europe.
I see great value in having my dollars push Putin's shit in. Triggering autocrat ballwashers such as yourself is just an added bonus.
You are quoting wiki and PBS documentary 12 year later, more a revisionist view because we don’t like him much. I remember the days when we still watch TV, where Peter Jennings, Brian Williams at big networks where many news anchors were foreign correspondents by training, not political hacks. Putin’s name came up in nightly news fairly often if there were Russian news to report, and his name is easy to remember because it is short.
Thank you for the "flawless English", my old English teacher would be glad to hear that. You know probably very little about "the culture" of Germany. Seems to me like you learned about Germany from bad Youtube videos from the 70s, Fox News, Breitbart and social media postings from crazy alt-right Nazi Germans. Nope, that's not Germany. You are right (kind of), the German gas tank reserve, if full, is enough for around 2.5 months. That is, if Germany would not import any gas at all. Why would that happen? Germany is importing much more gas than it even needs. It's importing the gas Germany needs and on top of that the gas required to fill the gas tanks, and on top of that it's even importing enough gas to compensate for the failing nuclear power plants in France. If Germany wouldn't provide a lot of gas powered energy to France, they would sit in the dark already. Regarding the gas prices, they were already going down. They just had a jump up because of the bombing of the NS 1+2, which is actually stupid because there wasn't any gas coming though the pipelines anyway. But the markets seem to think if Russia blew up a pipeline once, they may strike again. But I bet markets will calm down fairly quickly. And the German gas tanks are 91% full already. When they reach 100% Germany doesn't need any more gas to fill them but will fall back to just buy the amount it really needs day to day. Demand for gas will go down, and so will probably the gas prices. And this means of course that Germany actually won't need any gas from the gas tanks at all. It could just go on and buy gas directly on the market. So the gas tanks in Germany may actually last indefinitely, if the gas isn't even needed. (It is needed, but that's another story and absolutely normal every year). Complete BS again. But that's a common pattern of cultists. Claiming everything for themselves. The current German government wasn't even in office back then. And the spending boost was announced some months ago because Russia started a war in Europe. Yes, Germany promised the US to spend more. Merkel actually promised that to Obama and followed through later on, well, a bit at least. But Trump was just an annoying crazy idiot with small hands, nobody cared about. And then Putin decided it would be a great idea to start a war inside of Europe. Big mistake, in case you didn't notice. Which makes the rest of your posting look pretty stupid. I understand that you love Putin and hate Russia, so you support Putin and let Russia burn down in hell. But Putin's empty propaganda isn't working anymore. Russia sabotaged their own pipeline for the reasons I told you already. And everyone who isn't paid by Putin or a stupid cult member knows it.
And why would anyone love Putin and hate Russia? Nothing of what you say computes in the slightest. Syntax Error from the start.
I remember the days when Berlin was a divided city, and my name was on the Russian death list, because I worked for the German government radio station, which was sending real news into Eastern Germany and Russia to inform the people about the propaganda lies of their own governments. Surprisingly little has changed in 35 years.
I never understood this mystery: Fact is: Germany does not have much natural resources on its own soil like oil and gas. But Germany is, due to its highly educated people, a rich country. So, then why did (or does) Germany not simply buy shares of oil and gas companies? Even foreign remote ones anywhere on the globe, be it in Africa, Russia, Asia, Norway or wherever. German people are usually smart and are also good business people, ie. they know how to make profits. So, then why are there no German oil and gas companies drilling for oil and gas in sea and on land like UK and Norway do? I have a theory: it seems BigBrother USA forbids Germany to have its own fossil energy... I'm sure USA is blackmailing Germany, much like any other of its vassals.
That's just because you aren't very smart. You can't love both. It's either loving Putin, then you hate Russia, or loving Russia, then you must hate Putin. You can hate both, though, but you can't love both. Putin will destroy Russia beyond anything ever before seen in history. Any other man in the Kremlin, and Russia could have had a bright future in the world. Putin will flush Russia down his personal toilet and back into the Middle Ages. And not in a nice cosplay way. If you love Putin, you hate Russia.
