Nord Stream 2 is politically dead. Germany and Europe now have big choices to make

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

There are few energy projects in the world as controversial as the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and on Tuesday, it all but died in the water as Germany's leader halted its approval process over the Ukraine crisis.

The 1,230-kilometer pipeline was supposed to ferry huge amounts of natural gas directly from Russia to Europe via Germany, and although it has been sitting there, built for more than five months, not a single delivery has passed through it.

The project has divided politicians, analysts and Europeans for years, and has been beset by delays, previous US sanctions and opposition over its impact on the climate crisis.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's announcement was the strongest concrete response yet from the West to Russia's military action in eastern Ukraine.

2. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz should emphasize his stament by dismantling Nordstream's pipeline

Putin can start over at the beginning someday down the road.

Remove RU's pipelines. Don't save them for another deal later on when Vlad comes calling. And he will.
Destroy that infrastructure.
