Recently, the situation in Ukraine has set off a wave in the whole of Europe, many countries have been involved, and the United States and NATO is undoubtedly one of the "black hands", in the past few months, the Russian-Ukrainian border area has become the focus of Europe, Germany, France and Britain and other countries have joined the "battlefield", of which Germany is playing the role of "vanguard", not only standing on the side of Ukraine, in order to oppose Russia, the "Nord Stream-2" project has been stopped, resulting in a sharp rise in domestic gas prices, and the people are miserable.
Recently, the German side has begun to "die" again, it is reported that on January 18, the German prime minister talked with the NATO secretary-general in Berlin, due to the recent increasing number of voices within the German government, indicating that it will take tougher measures against russia, the German government is facing great pressure, so German Prime Minister Schoelz warned Russia that once the Russian army launches an attack on the Ukrainian side, the German side will consider stopping the "Nord Stream-2" pipeline.
At the press conference, Scholz mentioned when asked about the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline that if Russia intervenes militarily in Ukraine, anything will be discussed, but he did not say so before, he was open to the project before, he also admitted that nord Stream-2 is a commercial project and does not involve political intentions, but now Scholz is confused.
At present, the "Nord Stream-2" project has been fully completed, but at that time, the German foreign minister has always advocated the implementation of tough diplomatic measures against russia, so all kinds of suppression of the Russian side, before the expulsion of 2 Russian officials, she believes that "Nord Stream-2" is a political chip used by Russia to compete with NATO, so it will not stop the "Nord Stream-2" can not prevent the German side from being threatened by the Russian side, but at that time the German prime minister advocated that the project should not be overly "politicized", and the two also had a fierce dispute.
I wonder how former Chancellor Angela Merkel feels when she sees Germany now? "Nord Stream-2" project is her painstaking management of more than 10 years of project, when the United States and EU countries have put pressure on the German side, she withstood the huge pressure to jointly develop this project with the Russian side, did not expect to shortly after leaving office but fell shortly after the failure, it can be said that it is a pity, if the project can be successfully completed, it is beneficial to both countries, russia will continue to transport natural gas to Germany, Germany can also get rid of the energy crisis, winter is no longer cold.
The reason why the German government is very hostile to russia is caused by many reasons; the German side is a three-party coalition government, including the Social Democratic Party, the Green Party and the Liberal Democratic Party, the German foreign minister is from the Green Party, the Green Party has always been a "loyal fan" of the United States, so in the "Nord Stream-2" will absolutely follow the United States, and "anti-Russian" has become "political correctness", so since the new German foreign minister came to power, it has continuously suppressed the Russian side, and only the Social Democratic Party in China currently supports the "Nord Stream-2" project.
Hearing the words of the German prime minister, I believe that the German people have begun to "shiver", due to the continuous rise in gas prices, Germany and even the whole of Europe have fallen into the quagmire of the energy crisis, domestic industry and people's daily life have been seriously affected, many people have scolded the German government as a "stupid government", it is reported that "Nord Stream-2" can transport 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year, if so, the german domestic crisis will also be solved, but the German prime minister's remarks make this project more difficult to achieve.
The German prime minister's remarks are in the hands of the Chinese and American sides, the United States has always wanted to take the "Nord Stream-2" as a political chip to contain Russia, so it has repeatedly stressed that the Russian side should not act rashly, otherwise the project will be difficult to put into use, but President Putin has always been tough, after the "Nord Stream-2" was stopped, immediately discussed with the Chinese side to build another natural gas pipeline, called "Siberian Force 2", the pipeline will pass through Mongolia to the Chinese side, it is expected that 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas will be transported to China every year.
In addition, the Russian foreign minister said in a meeting with the German foreign minister on the 18th that the opening of the "Nord Stream-2" will be of great benefit to Europe's energy security, which is completely contrary to the so-called "politicization", and now the German government is also a mess, without its own firm position, these are also thanks to the United States, the German prime minister's speech is likely to be a compromise of various domestic voices.
There is a saying called self-inflicted sins can not live, the current German people are suffering from energy shortages and high gas prices, the United States is still taking advantage of the fire, selling its own natural gas at a high price to Europe, so as to make a lot of money, now Germany has paid a painful price for its own behavior, economic losses have reached hundreds of millions of yuan, if Germany insists on going its own way, then it will only lift the stone to drop its own feet.
