Didn't German and Dutch companies fund Nordstream 2? "Russia's pipeline" indeed.

Doesn't really matter who paid for it so long as it's intent is to send oil/gas one way and huge amounts of money the other way.

It's infrastructure that Germany and the Netherlands funded. Why doesn't it matter?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

Because it wasn't blown up because of who funded it but rather who it benefits most. I'm not saying it's right but it's at least a save thought.

It does matter, as Germany is a NATO member, and the pipelines were critical infrastructure and blowing them up would be an act of war.
