note:
It was strange from the beginning that Rezo never raised the 2014 coup in the Ukraine. The CDU/CSU is partly to blame for this as well. If he would have mentioned this, it would be embarrassing for The Green-Party. Members such as Rebecca Harms and Marieluise Beck have campaigned for this coup. So if Rezo acted on behalf of someone, then this would fit. And his impress leads to "TUBE ONE".

... On the grounds that the EU Member States import particularly large quantities of oil (about 30 %) and natural gas (about 40 %) from Russia the US government regularly demands these to be replaced by LNG (liquefied natural gas) from the USA or even the banning the partially completed Nord-Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia. And if the German government reaches a compromise after wich Nord-Stream 2 can be continued on the condition that the operator of the pipeline and the gas supplier must be disconnected then one is inclined to believe that the German government achieved their interests here. However Europe's supply of gas from Russia can not be replaced with liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US yet as there is no infrastructure for such supply. But an alternative supply infrastructure is worked upon in the same way as NATO's 2 % target. [42] [43,p.4] ...
