The Germans could act if they were willing to pay an extra, say, 10% for their natural gas. They seem to favour their treasure over their future freedom.
I believe that Russia in one of Germany largest trading partners.
Tons of German investment in Russia.
Did you note that Turkey, just recently is making deals for Russian gas?
The Russians will eventually have them all by the balls.
It is surprising, though, that the Turks have opted to buy Russian gas and not from one of their Muslim neighbours.
Surprisingly enough, many are not aware, Syria was to be the export point for LNG to the EU. From Iraq & Iran
Qatari s against these deals as they had their own plan for gas to the EU.
Quaoar as we have known supports the hard line Islamists. Both in Syria and in Libya prior to that.
Also the Stans have a major pipeline plan for the EU.
Russia can do squat. Reason they have been trying to ink a long term deal with China.
China lent Gazprom 30 Billion the other year.
With those pipelines, then include the fields off Israel and Cyprus, gas prices drop.
Russia will be hurting in the future, as their economy is dependent upon oil-NG.
Russia made billions doing this below.
