Why would Russia be unable to supply Germany? They have the biggest gas fields in Europe. GAZPROM (Russian owned company) would have the ability to turn it off? It’s obvious the gas is there - the discharge upon the water shows it’s there too. Many seismic stations picked up the 2.3 ‘earthquakes’ at that location of the leaks. Do you think Russia would sabotage their own gas lines?
Russia has more than enough gas to cover Germany’s needs, but they’ve just lost their infrastructure for getting it there. I don’t expect they have other means readily available sitting on standby.
Once it was clear that Keystone XL wouldn’t materialize it took Canadian oil companies years to construct terminals and thousands of rail cars to transport even a fraction of the oil that the KXL pipeline would have delivered (and at a much higher cost). I doubt Russia or Germany has rail cars, or ships and the receiving terminals for both all lined up and ready to go.
I don’t think Russia did this. My guess is that it was deep state players in Germany and the US that did it. They saw how swiftly the political winds changed in Italy, and I presume the pressure is rising in Germany. The psychos in the German government want the gas flow stopped, but they don’t want to be blamed for it.
Russia doesn’t need Europe any more. They have other customers in India and China. It’s been stated that Putin was fed up with what Europe and NATO did and if you listen to his speeches - not the ones translated from the MSM - but the official ones from The Kremlin, you know that this winter would be the start of many bad ones for Europe and it’s people. By the way. Have a look what St Petersburg is trialing this Winter. Heated walkways. Amazing.
I agree that they don’t need Europe right now, but supplying gas provides a good revenue stream and gives them political leverage. It’s in Russia’s interest to maintain this relationship long term.
