This is good commentary. Another way to look at it however is that NS2 represented another attempt by Germany to centralize gas flows into Europe, especially Poland by using the Opal pipeline as a cudgel Open NS2, use Ukraine to cut off the old pipelines to Poland and then force Polish compliance through gas quotas in the name of “green energy” This is why @NakedHedgie snd I surmised that it was Britain and Poland who were ultimately behind blowing up NS2 in the GGnG podcast we did right after it happened https://t.co/DWsgKAReK7

Dariusz Wiewiorka explains,
I'll explain to you exactly what's happening in Poland.
After the destruction of Nord Stream, the German industry fell into an extreme crisis and is simply dying without cheap Russian gas. Due to the war in Ukraine, it's through Poland that the last two functioning pipelines from Russia to Germany are running. Yamal with a capacity of 33 billion m³ and the Druzhba oil pipeline. Germany, to save its industry, must take control of Poland, and that's exactly what they're doing. The rest is just background.
