Til Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has changed its name to nord stream 2 region.
no shit Scherlock
It’s refreshing to see politicians admitting mistakes
Whether in few years or a decade, nord stream 2 will work as planned.
If Europe wants to be strong again, it needs to stop being an American vassal and embrace Euroasia.
Tell this to Angela Merkel
Er, no shit.
Also particularly irritating for me – as someone opposed to copyright and patent monopolies, given the horse-trading at the time: germany wanted the pipeline, france wanted internet censorship? And lo, [a deal was made]( https://twitter.com/senficon/status/1110278976654794753). Hey, maybe if we’re not getting the pipeline now we could at least roll back on the european internet filters (as if)…
That’s certainly was little fucky wucky for you wasn’t it?
It took very long time to realise it was a mistake.
Putin can’t reign Russia forever. He’s turning 70 this year.
Nord Stream 2 should stay were it is now. Do maintenance as needed only, push renewable energy and syngas production as much as possible. *If* there’s a positive change in government in Russia, the pipeline might still be useful. Dismantle it only if renewable energy and syngas made *all* natural gas obsolete.
Mistake was even considering it. I don’t know what to call the next steps (approval, construction, etc).
Not mistake, it was callousness, greed and conscious choice, for 10+ years USA, Baltic states, Poland, Ukraine were warning and protesting it, nobody can claim ignorance or innocence
