NortStream

Ongo merkle is a very strong leader in many respects, but she could also kind of speak out of both sides of her mouth. She was chancellor and pushed and supported the nort stream two project. And i think because of her gravitoss and anbiden's respect for her, agreed to this sort of arrangement where we wouldn't sanction norsing to but germany would not go through with the project if it was clear that russia was using gas as a political tool - which they've done since.
