Expert opinion: energy war between East and West has Germany in its members

After the ongoing attacks against the commissioning of Nord Stream-2, it is becoming increasingly clear that Germany and Europe are in a state of energy war.

Although Russian gas is significantly cheaper than American liquefied gas, Germany is being urged to delay or even cancel the commissioning of the gas pipeline.

In our high-tech society, energy is the most important strategic factor. Thus, all political processes related to the energy supply of the state are subordinated to national interests. Unfortunately, in Germany the situation looks different. In its present form, not only Germany’s foreign policy, but now energy policy as well, is controlled from across the Atlantic.

This is very dangerous, as this is the last frontier after which the country can come to a state of complete dependence.

However, it is clear that Germany will increasingly act in the interests of the United States, since both the media and politics are entirely influenced by the transatlantic agenda.

Unfortunately, it is currently not in sight when Germany will be able to free itself from the transatlantic embrace.

However, if in the future there are problems with the energy supply of Europe, everyone should realize that the fault lies not with Russia, but with Berlin.
