Reply to comment by Electromotivation in Germany: 5 charged with treason in suspected terror plot. Public prosecutors said the suspects had planned to create "civil war-like conditions" in Germany. They are also accused of plotting to kidnap the health minister by DoremusJessup

It made perfect sense before 2014. But they kept pumping russian gas for almost a decade after annexation of Crimea that Germany oh so condemned. Even after 2022 invasion, any step away from being buddies buddies with russia came with a massive hesitation and resistance

Germany thought they where engaging in a mutaly beneficial partnership where economics are seperate from poletics. This model can work but only if both partners are willing to play this game. Basicly no matter how dire the political situation gets the gas will flow as it benefits Russia and Germany equally but Russia the bastards that they are broke that unspoken agreement.
