Nord Stream Pipeline

HEADLINE: Germany and EU Have Been Handed Over a Declaration of War by Pepe Escobar 

The pipes on both NS and NS2 can be repaired, of course, but hardly before the arrival of General Winter. The question is whether Gazprom – already focused on several hefty Eurasian customers – would bother, especially considering that Gazprom vessels could be exposed to a possible NATO naval attack in the Baltic. 
As if all of that was not serious enough, Germany is contractually obligated to purchase at least 40 billion cubic meters of Russian gas a year until 2030.
QUESTION: Remember when Donald Trump told them NOT to do this?
Just say no? They can’t: Gazprom is legally entitled to get paid even without shipping gas. That’s the spirit of a long-term contract. And it’s already happening: because of sanctions, Berlin does not get all the gas it needs but still needs to pay.
If you could get bacon back in WWI they asked you to save your bacon fat for the nitrates b/c they used it to make bombs.
