German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock made a dire prediction about her country’s future on a live-streamed panel on Wednesday, warning of “popular uprisings” if a pipeline turbine was not delivered back to Germany.
Baerbock warned that Germany could face widespread domestic revolts due to energy shortages and would be unable to continue giving Ukraine military and economic aid while speaking to RND, a German media outlet, on Wednesday. The minister’s comments come amid the growing energy and economic crisis in Germany that is being exacerbated by the reduction of Russian gas imports via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, operated by Russian state-run gas giant Gazprom.
“If we don’t get the gas turbine, then we won’t get any more gas, and then we won’t be able to provide any support for Ukraine at all, because then we’ll be busy with popular uprisings,” Baerbock said before immediately walking back her statement.
Baerbock quickly said she was “exaggerating,” and also emphasized that the majority of Germans support weapons deliveries to Ukraine.

The turbine was stuck in Canada as a result of Canadian economic sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, according to The Globe And Mail, a Canadian news outlet.
Nah! Winter is coming.
“ then we won’t be able to provide any support for Ukraine at all”
Poor Ukraine. Perhaps now would be a good time to negotiate.
Germany should kick NATO out of their country and tell the rest of the EU to F_ off or they will wind up paying for the rebuilding of Ukraine long with the US. The EU itself is likely to collapse within a few years. No more cheap gas and oil, so European countries won’t be able to compete economically. Most of the EU is already bankrupt as it is.
“How DARE you refuse to supply our energy needs just because we are supporting the war against you !?!
The frail old man.
Never happen. The German attitude of superiority that caused them to shut down their nuke plants and went all-in for wind is now biting them in the ass. Reap and sow.
Humm ... I remember hearing this some time ago and the Germans laughed ...
“Reliance on a single foreign supplier can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation. That is why we congratulate European states, such as Poland, for leading the construction of a Baltic pipeline so that nations are not dependent on Russia to meet their energy needs. Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course,...”
... Who’s laughing now?
Is that statement supposed to make Russia in a hurry to restore the pipeline to Germany?
LOL!
I’m absolutely sure they are doing all they can to get the pipeline back to working 100% 👍
Maybe these fools just don’t understand that the people “Just want to be left alone”
But I do not think Germany has the influence in Europe that it once had and it certainly has little influence over Ukraine as it has delivered almost none of its promised economic or military assistance.
Bluffing or a reality!?
