>In late June, Russia's Gazprom cut gas flows via Nord Stream 1 to Germany by 40% due to a technical issue with a faulty turbine.
>The replacement turbine (owned by Siemens in Germany) was manufactured in Canada, but was seized by the Canadian government as part of its sanctions policy.
>Germany is now begging Canada to send over the turbine, because if they don't, Gazprom will not return gas flows to their full capacity.
>Ukraine is advising Canada *not* to send over the turbine unless Germany commits additional weapons to the conflict in Ukraine.
>BUT Germany has already depleted a huge portion of its arsenal after the most recent weapons shipment.
>The scheduled reinstallation timeframe of July 11-21 is fast approaching and Gazprom still doesn't have the turbine as it's being held by Canada, which so far has refused to budge, valuing its commitment to Ukraine/Zelensky over its NATO ally, Germany.
TL;DR - Absurd and unforeseen diplomatic row between Canada and Germany threatens to completely fuck over the German economy, which is already on the brink of collapse, with the likely outcome being the entire Eurozone spiraling into crisis
>Germany has already depleted a huge portion of its arsenal after the most recent weapons shipment. What if the Russian plan is to deplete the arsenals of NATO?

Whoever sent that turbine to Canada is a master troll. If this somehow leads to Germany greenlighting NS2, I will forever praise Putin as genius. That being said, I think Canada is gonna cuck out and return the damn turbine in the end.

Gotta hand it to putin, he certainly understood just how fragile the westerners really were. I imagine China probably takes Taiwan by the end of the year.
