Putin’s insane audacity

No, you do setting up. When the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines were exposed to what is believed to be sabotage in the Baltic Sea, one of the pipes was spared.

One of the pipes of Nord Stream 2, the disputed gas pipeline between Russia and Germany, appears to be intact.

The pipeline is never used, but has been lying brand new and unused at the bottom of the sea since shortly before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Germany had long delayed approval of the opening and finally canceled plans in February. It came in response to the build-up of Russian forces and threatening behavior on Ukraine.

The Germans had finally realized that a new era had arrived. A time when Russia must be seen as an unreliable partner, and a totally useless energy supplier.

Now he is alone to congratulate you on the accuracy. It is very impressive. The pipelines were destroyed just outside Danish waters, so much so that the Nord Stream 2 has avoided what is in all likelihood a sabotage.

So lucky!

Putin could therefore announce today that he will offer gas deliveries to Europe during the winter.

As if it were agility itself.

Nobody should go to bed fool. What Putin has achieved mainly with this is confirming the already strong suspicion that Russia is behind the sabotage action against the pipelines.

And now it’s more important than ever to keep your tongue straight in your mouth.

Germany has already passed the test by rejecting Putin’s gas offer through Nord Stream 2.

Putin will now try to portray the fact that gas does not reach the continent as a European malice. Europeans have themselves to blame if they say no to our help. This is Putin’s message.

It’s like we have to thank the attacker for the crutches after he broke our leg.

The energy situation in Europe it will be so precarious during the winter that Putin knows the offer will still be tempting. In an EU where different countries have various opportunities to give citizens and businesses financial support to offset skyrocketing energy prices, the dispute is already difficult to manage.

Germany, among other things, is being criticized for having recently given a generous hand to its businesses and citizens. Other countries with less money fear it will distort competition.

Putin is now playing his old trick: sowing discord among European allies.

It is both impressive and repulsive.

If anything, it is a stronger reminder that the most important principle to follow in these dramatic times is European unity. This is the fundamental prerequisite for successfully resisting Putin’s life-threatening and life-threatening behavior.

It shouldn’t be hard to motivate yourself. Putin’s audacity is crazy, in every sense.
