it won't prevent Moscow from "terrorizing" the EU by withholding gasIt's Europe that is financially terrorizing its own citizens by blocking Russian energy deliveries
He put together the worst cabinet in post-war history — a ragtag bunch in which there were quotas for everything except competence
Our Olaf resolutely hunts down the negative record of the shortest reigning German Chancellor: Kurt Georg Kiesinger, whose term of office lasted 2 years, 10 months and 20 days.
Joly revealed that the decision was made after a request from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who is currently visiting Canada......and Bribem okayed it.
Ukraine and Germany have accused Russia of holding the EU hostage with gas deliveries.While the EU and US hold Russian bank accounts and companies hostage. Hypocrites ...
Gazprom has said it would fulfill all of its contractual obligations but cannot be faulted when the EU or Canada impose unilateral embargoes on equipment - such as the Siemens turbines for Nord Stream 1, a pipeline under the Baltic Sea that bypasses Ukraine.Next thing, they will critizise missing/incomplete repair certificates for said turbines.They must avoid sloppiness and sabotage, you know ?
And they need the rubles.No, they don't.
Russia won't hold back the gas once equipment is returned & their very reasonable terms are met. They are better than that. They love showing the world that they are better than their petty enemiesExactly. That is why they procrastinate. They use every legal and appropriate subterfuge.

Imagine the turbine blows up after an hour of operation. Wouldn't you guess the manufacturer exactly knows how to sabotage such a complex device in a subtle, indetectable way ? After all, the whole West is at (proxy-) war with Russia. Thus they rightly demand proper certificates for the repair, and a warranty for an operational state of the device ...
Wouldn't you guess the manufacturer exactly knows how to sabotage such a complex device in a subtle, indetectable way ?Trust the Russians. Those are the guys that were first in space and the first to manufacture hypersonic missiles - not just test them. They really know what they are doing.
The only way to sabotage such a complex mechanism is to use parts that are manufactured to break. "Planned obsolescence sabotage", so to speak. Whatever it is will break after some time of operationThis turbines are huge rotating devices, which store a lot of kinetic energy. Perhaps manipulating a ball bearing so that it overheats and breaks ofter a short while ...
