Germany opposes to switch off Russia from SWIFT because Germany wants to buy Russian gas even if Russia wages a full scale war against Ukraine. Germany will be held responsible for war too. Germany had the means to deter Russia from war but did not do it concisely
Germany opposes sanctions against North Stream 2 for the same reason: they want to buy "cheap" Russian gas even if Russia fully invades Ukraine. The only reason for the existence of NS2 is to pump Russian gas when Ukrainian gas transporting system is disrupted due to war.
@krystoferivanov @Marius_Raabe As a German I do not understand why EU/Germany gave the permission for that shit. This situation is exactly what I expected to happen.
@krystoferivanov Sorry dude. I really don't understand what my government is doing. It is embarrassing. Germany treating Ukraine in 2022 as the United Kingdom treated Czechoslovakia in 1938. It's a disgrace. It's Northstream2, defensive weapons, Swift, you name it... A total disgrace.
@krystoferivanov I’ve been saying for years that America should be selling LNG to Europe. Cut off Russia’s access to western currency.
@krystoferivanov But don't worry, Germany will probably sell weapons to the Ukraine, ensuring it profits from both sides of the war - because that's German international politics.
@krystoferivanov Bro, we Germans ( Jes im rly german) Dont wanna Die for Ukrain Russia is your Problem not ours.
@krystoferivanov I think Germany should just sit out this World War. Things didn't work out too well for them in the previous two.
