It all makes sence the timing of nord 2 pipe line and the military exersises is a front for an invasion and if the west and ukraine reacts acordingly it also is an excuse to back off. Make no mistake Ukraine was in genuine risk of invasion by Russia but the west and Ukraine did react to the build up the way they did and Ukraine will not be invaded. Putin was hoping for the west to split under the pressure and still is to capitalize on that but now the west is generally more united and Germany is going to have a much harder stance against Russia. When the "just" exercises are going to be over all of this will blow over and Russia is going to be like "we said we were not gona invade". "you bakas were worried for nothing."

Russia used twise the amount fo trops for exercises than usual and fully suronded Ukraine with them. The threat was and still is real.

Germany usally is fine with coperating with Russia economicly while politically it oposes it now Russia was hoping that Germany isnt going to halt the nord stream 2 project and that would make it apear that the Germany dont genuenly care about Ukraine thus making political a split in the west and doubt in general.

As weird as this might sound if Russia attacks Ukraine it's game over for them. If Russia wants to win they have to keep the pressure on Europe as long as possible and at the same time try to exclude the US from the Nordstream 2 pipeline negotiations. After the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the absolute catastrophe that is Biden, this shouldn't be hard to pull off. Also, China might want to put more pressure on Tawain, so America is stretched really thin. If they build Nordstream 2 Ukraine is fucked.

zogmerica has been fomenting this entire conflict to cancel Nordstream and get Europe hooked on American LNG

Nordstream 2 would isolate Ukraine economically. After a few years, they will beg to be annexed by Russia.

HOW DOES HE KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!?

of course germany wasn't going to cancel nordstream 2. Their whole energy system depends on it.
Do they really want to annex Ukraine though? That's a lot of bad optics. Ukraine always has been Russia's buffer zone. My guess is they just want nato and the eu out.

>of course germany wasn't going to cancel
And they never will.
When all this blows over germany will open the pipe line.
