Sweden should make the only sensible thing and just blow the pipes. Then the problem is solved.
I doubt NS2 is that “tough choice”. It won’t go operational then.
But that is just symbolic…de facto NS2 is not needed.
What us and Putin actually needs is NS1 and/or Jamal. And not only us…everyone south and east of us too.
It is already dead. What point to even mention Nord Stream 2? It quite clear that it would never start working no matter what Russia do/not do. I actually think that death of Nord Stream 2 are one of the reason of escalation.
No, stop it with this false equivalency. It’s not a “Europe” question for many reasons:
* Russia is also geographically in Europe
* The gas isn’t universally needed in Europe
* A bunch of countries made this “tough choice” a long time ago, and decided that it was a bad idea
* NS2 is like 2 out of 7 pipelines from Russia to “Europe”
* NS2 isn’t even in use yet, is it?
A (admittedly pretty wide) selection of European countries, will finally have to consider the geopolitical ramifications of being dependent on Russian gas if Russia continues being Russia.
Its not really that tough of a choice now, innit?
They’re obviously not using it now. It’s not as if the European population is fast growing. It just means it will depend on other fuel types for longer.
