maybe if Germany wanted to keep getting cheap r*ssian gas and r*ssia still wanted to sell it, they should've got together with r*ssia and work out a plan where p*tin in r*ssia doesnt break the constitution, goes away after his two terms to some dacha to grow tomatoes, where r*ssia doesnt invade georgia, doesnt agitate r*ssian speakers in Ukraine to riot, doesnt send unmarked troops and military equipment into Ukraine, doesnt occupy and annex crimea etc. etc. etc., but instead has free media which are not all owned by the government (as in get money and send profits from and to the government) and which report on issues from different perspective, and have free elections, and free courts, and freedom to create political parties which dont get struck down by the government beurau of registration for bullshit reason, dont deny demonstrations for bullshit reasons etc. etc. etc., maybe all of that shouldnt have happened and shouldnt have been done and then there would be no sanctions on the nord stream nor in 2008, neither in 2014 or 2022 or whenever, and Germany could keep buying cheap r*ssian gas while r*ssia could keep selling cheap r*ssian gas
how about that?
