Yeah, I'm a supporter of Nordstream 2 because cheap gas is better than expensive gas, but I can't understand why Germany is making itself more dependent on gas instead of building out nuclear capacity to be less dependent.

The whole policy really doesn't make a lot of sense, it's not pro-fossil fuel or anti-fossil fuel, it's not pro-Russia or anti-Russia. It's all of the above, which is worse, since it's anti-everything and pro-everything. It suggests German leadership is too incompetent to pursue their own interests and so they are effectively acting randomly.

It is hard to find an explanation for this other than Germany has been co-opted by Russia. Ukraine has been separated from the herd and will surely fall. Putin will be on Germany's border by the end of the decade.
