The fun thing with ports is that they don't care where in the world the tankers come from.Hey, be dependent on much more expensive Arab and US LNG, if you can build terminals and pipelines for that and you can provide it at a lower price than Russia does, and meet the EU's needs - then be my guest, I am happy to see diversification in the energy industry.
While you are at it, might as well build more nuclear powerplants than the entirety of Fallout.
Unlike pipelines, which lead to a specific supplier who gets the last say over how much fuel and when will go through.
Who doesn't?Yeah, it is not like the US and UK don't have a history of abandoning their allies because of changing internal political tides.
There is a handful countries now who wish Russia would merely abandon them.
This is why this whole green energy push glows. Supposedly everyone involved hates Russia and occasionally drops soundbites to that point...The greens being pro-Russia?
Sure dude, sure, tell that to the likes of Annalena Baerbock, who had to get bent over and spanked to play nice with them, but unlike the greens the more established parties at least know they should not threaten a 50 billion per year's worth bilateral trade.
The greens are a self-inflicted western injury.
Merkel is a well-known Russia hater and she closed down all of Germany's power-plants.
Also, might I note that you don't pick a fucking fight with your main energy provider unless you have working alternatives!
I fucking hate green energy and I hate that I am required by law to buy x amount of so called green energy.
But hey, why organize a counter-force around stopping that shit when you can just ree about muh Russia.
At the same time over decades none of them put a stop on the Russian gas reliance plan, green idiocy, or nuclear power shutdown. Merkel delayed some of it but didn't roll it back, SPD supports it since Schroeder, Greens are just being Greens in all their idiotic glory. Actions speak louder than words.
But someone is getting rewards for this idiocy already, and the rewards come from Russia.

How many more German politicians can expect personal favors from Russia in their future?
We already do, Brussels doesn't want to listen, leftists want their green pseudoreligion, bureaucrats want carbon indulgences with all the power and money they give them, technical issues are absolutely secondary to the political side - France, which already had a nuclear based energy sector built and functioning, has also surprisingly decided to start getting rid of it.Frankly you Poles are about as useful to the EU politically as the neocuck chickenhawks are in the USA.
Do something good for the whole community, present decent alternatives that don't cost more money, tell Brussels to fuck itself with the green lunacy more often, and then maybe we can talk about your boogieman obsession.
