Welp, the Nord Stream is gone. Congratulations EU leadership on achieving your sole dependence on US shale gas and your commitment to reduce European carbon footprint! Now you have secured a chance to chose your favourite street lamp or guillotine!

Seriously though, now there is no longer any reason for EU and Russia to stop fighting. EU will continue until complete collapse of Russia, where they could obtain Russian assets for pennies (ie during collapse of USSR) to offset their losses. And Russia will continue fighting until complete capitulation of Ukraine.
Just saw the news and I want to say that Europe have no one but themselves to blame for the catastrophic situation they are currently in, they have been given too many opportunities before and after the war to make sensible foreign policy decisions but instead they are more concerned about their "Democratic values" and "European Unity". I guess its just their destiny to get completely deindustrialized and vassalized by the US, its a good thing China didn't sign that CAI deal.

I wonder how long it will be before the last gas pipeline to Europe gets destroyed. The only pipeline left is the one that runs through Ukraine to Slovakia (TransGas)
There is also the Yamal pipeline to Poland. But the Russians stopped sending gas through it months ago when the Poles started nationalizing Russian gas assets in Poland. It isn't a coincidence that they blew up the Nord Stream pipes after the pipeline from Sweden to Poland was finished.

America wants that pipeline to be untouched, so that Ukraine and Poland remain relevant. Nord stream bypassed them so cut them out of transit fees.

Anyone with a brain can tell from Russia's point of view there is no need to destroy any of these pipelines. If they don't want to sell gas they can just withhold it.

What surprises me is that NS2 even had gas in it. I thought it hadn't received certification. Even NS1 officially had been shut down a few days ago. Was Germany secretly buying gas without telling anyone?

EUpoors have sank the world in 2 world wars.

Instead of sitting down and learning their lesson, now they want a 3rd World War as well. They deserve everything coming to then in winter for their stupidity and recklessness

NS2 was finished and filled with technical gas. The gas is used to pressurize the pipe. It was basically ready for operations. It is just that the Germans refused to certify it so it could enter operations.
