Because Russia can cut off the energy at any moment in time.
In 2009 it did just that, causing major problems in the midst of winter.
Russia is the last nation on earth I’d bet my fellow countrymen’s future on.

Why should we insist that the Germans view Russia as an enemy when they are not afraid of them enough to stop buying gas from them? The cold war with a communist Russia is over. Obama and the EU are the real communists now.
I supplied enough reason right there.
I’m not saying they should take up arms, but you don’t subject your whole populace to a shutoff or heating in the middle of Winter on a Russian leader’s whim.
Merkel was from East Germany. Was in the communist party.
Maybe the whole ting was planned, let east Germany go, Merkel becomes the chancellor, takes over the EU then the whole thing folds back to Russia.
How’s that for a conspiracy theory?
