First off, it wasn't their pipeline anymore: Germany nationalized the Gazprom holding companies that owned the pipelines several days ago. This was partially payback.
Second, the US regime wears diapers because it pisses itself with fear, just like the Obama regime. It would never undertake such a bold action.
Third, even if the US did it, it affects mainly Germany and no one in Europe gives a crap about Germany. And in any case, given the Ukraine war, the Europeans are hardly going to separate from the US.
Nice dodge. But yes we did it.
The Russian state owned the controlling interest in Gazprom.
from their website....
Gazprom is the largest supplier of natural gas in the world, accounting for approximately 15 percent of world gas production. It was established as a joint stock company in 1993, and is partly owned by the Russian state (50.002 percent).
are you saying Putin sold his interest to Germany?
