Nord Stream II Back in The News

 Various news sites in Germany are talking about this speech of the Green Party 'boss'....Annalena Baerbock....saying she wants to hold back the operational 'permission' for the Russia-to-Germany natural gas pipeline (Nord Stream II).

Logic?  Well....the claim is that the EU has a regulation that the operator of a pipeline....cannot be the person/company who sells the natural gas.  

This holding back of the 'permission'?  It's hard to see anyone being happy over this (particularly the Russian companies).  Part of this tactic might be the idea of stalling things.....allowing the original pipeline going through the Ukraine.....still be used for the most part.

The amusing thing....it's basically the same kind of chatter you'd expect out of Donald Trump.  

Creating this 'path' in the beginning of winter?  I'd suggest it not being that wise.  Probably more to come next week.
