    To say with Nord Stream 2 will increase EU dependence on Russia is very weak actually.
    The pipeline can supply as long as EU wants to buy . No one is forcing EU to buy right?
    So why cut off your flexibility to access to another source of energy ?
    If EU fear dependence, then quick order from US and just dont sign up for the Nord Stream 2 gas . In emergency you can increase supply for your needs.
    Simply blaming Nord Stream 2 that will make EU too dependent means EU is not disciplined enough .
    The pipeline is actually an insurance for EU ... for energy security . Not dependence.

      Or Germany will surreptitiously siphon natural gas from the Nord stream pipeline; pay the Russians under the table and pray it's allies won't notice. With the supremely foolish energy policy they are pursuing; sanctions against Russia that involve that pipeline are effectively sanctions against Germany.
      Germany might as well replace all those wind generators that it has dotting it's landscape with giant lawn gnomes for all the good they do without long term energy storage. In fact, it would probably be better for the EU electrical grid if they did.
      If Germany had invested in nuclear power like France has; then it would have absolutely no dependency on Russian petrol.

    Such a bunch of baloney! First, Russian supply of gas has actually increased.
    Second, let's look at the price increase. Mostly because some other suppliers diverted their production to more lucrative markets like China and South America, partly because some European companies rerouted their gas to Ukraine and Poland and, thus, reducing their own reserves, making nice profit of it. Russia and Europe have a long term contract , so quantities and prices are agreed upon beforehand.
    So, Russia is not weaponizing gas.
    I simply don't know who gave US rights to threat with stoping NS2. It's a commercial agreement between Russia and Europe, more precisely, between a Russian and several European companies. Let me remind you, Soviet Union supplied gas to Europe even in the hight of Cold War without any problems.

      In 2008, Roger Howard[45] has argued[46] in The Wall Street Journal that oil dependence has significant benefits for the US and other oil-importing nations. First, the world's major oil exporters are highly dependent on their oil revenues, and fear rapid drops in the price of oil, such as occurred in late 2008 and in 2014/2015. Second, this fear restrains destructive actions by exporters: Howard cites the example of Russia's 2008 invasion of Georgia. Russia's stock market plunged, and "within a week capital outflow reached a massive $16 billion, suddenly squeezing domestic credit while the ruble collapsed in value." He also gives the example of Libya, where Muammar al-Gaddafi gave up his nuclear weapon program in exchange for the US lifting its economic sanctions, which had prevented Libya from increasing its oil production.
      In 2008, Andy Grove argued that energy independence is a flawed and infeasible objective, particularly in a network of integrated global exchange. He suggests instead that the objective should be energy resilience: resilience goes hand in hand with adaptability, and it also is reflected in important market ideas like substitutability. Resilience is one of the best features of market processes; the information transmission function of prices means that individual buyers and sellers can adapt to changes in supply and demand conditions in a decentralized way. His suggestion for how to increase the resilience of the US energy economy is to shift use from petroleum to electricity (electrification), that can be produced using multiple sources of energy, including renewables.

    It was Angela Merkel who proposed it. NS2 is a consortium between Gazprom an an EU pool of partners who would be also affected. Putin reminded Scholtz that the long term price it gets is a fraction of the spot market. The convenience of a direct pipeline also cuts out the fuzz and cost of LNG that have a complex logistics. Like oil or coal, not all gas has the same quality and thus energy yield.

    If you walk the streets of Moscow, you will eventually smell the faint odor of gasoline.
    Any crimp on Russia’s ability to access the European market is a threat to its economic security.
    To get it there, Russia relies mostly on two aging pipeline networks, one of which runs through Belarus and the other through Ukraine. For this, Russia pays Ukraine around $2 billion a year in transit fees.
    Russia is a petrostate and relies on oil and natural-gas sales for about 60% of its export revenue and 40% of its total budget expenditures. Any crimp on Russia’s ability to access the European market is a threat to its economic security.
    *As Ukrainians looked to rising living standards in places like Poland and Latvia that had joined NATO and the European Union, many wondered why they couldn’t have the same for themselves.*
    This is where *Putin’s nationalistic impulses kick in. He views the fall of the Soviet Union as the “greatest geopolitical tragedy” of the past century and the rush of former Eastern bloc countries into the embrace of the European Union, and even NATO, as a great humiliation.*
    He has drawn a line in the sand with countries that border Russia, *invading Georgia in 2008 when it hinted at joining NATO, and moving to destabilize Ukraine when it moved to establish closer economic ties with Europe.*
    Domestically, *Putin has sold the incursions into Ukraine on purely nationalistic grounds - even going so far this weekend as to dismiss Ukraine’s history as an independent country as a falsehood.*

    Gazprom announced that it would begin using the onshore facilities of Nord Stream 2 (which the Germans refused to launch) to develop gas supply to the North-West of Russia.
    A lot of money was invested in the Nord Stream 2 project, with Germany also investing a large amount of money in part of the project. Now the Germans are losing their investments due to the downtime of the underwater part of Nord Stream 2, while Russia will use the land part in the meantime, thus its investments will fully pay off.
    However, Nord Stream 2 has already paid off for Russia. The protracted history of its construction and non-launch has become an important factor in the rise in gas prices in Europe, which has sharply raised Gazprom's profits in 2021-2022.
    The current decision on Nord Stream 2 contains another very unpleasant moment for Germany: Gazprom announced that due to the reorientation of onshore infrastructure to the domestic consumer, at least until 2028, the second marine string SP-2 will not be launched.
    So if the Germans agree to launch Nord Stream 2 somewhere in a year under the pressure of the energy crisis, then they will be able to count on only half of the gas pipeline's capacity. And gas prices will remain very high.
    Gazprom's decision to use the Nord Stream 2 pipeline for domestic gas supply can be interpreted on the principle of "every blessing," said Mark Goykhman, chief analyst at TeleTrade.
    "Gasification of Russian territories is an acute problem that has been poorly solved for decades. This is largely due to the high cost of infrastructure construction and the low solvency of the population. For Gazprom, such projects are usually unprofitable or unprofitable. And it was hardly possible to count on the development of gas supply to the North- West in the case of using Nord Stream 2 for export deliveries," Mark Goykhman explained.
    But in the current conditions, when the highway has already been built, colossal funds have been invested in it, and the future is very vague, there is a direct reason to use the ground part passing through Russia to gasify these territories, the expert notes. This will make it possible not only to improve their condition, adaptability to life, development, but also to receive certain incomes for gas workers and the budget, and create jobs.

(only Georgia in that case). But all those conflicts were agains territories which didnt even planed to go to NATO.

    Ukraine had to attack Russian separatist regions in the east to provoke a Russian response like we are seeing. If Nord stream two came online, Russia would not need to send natural gas through Ukraine and Ukraine would not then receive billions of dollars from Russia for transporting gas through their country. This would bring the economy in Ukraine to its knees and would remove funding for the military spending.
