Three quarters of Germans consider the United States to be an unreliable partner, according to a survey published on Thursday.
78% of those queried currently consider France to be a trustworthy partner and 74% consider the UK to be a trustworthy partner.
According to the survey, 40% consider Ukraine to be a trustworthy partner, while 48% of respondents believe that Germany cannot trust Ukraine.
Better question: why should Germany have kept funding Russia via Nordstream?
The bombing of the Nordstream pipelines did not stop Germany funding Russia via Nordstream, as Germany was not funding Russia via Nordstream at the time. The pipeline was shut down and remains so, even though one of the four pipelines was not bombed. Russian gas was flowing to the EU via Ukraine for years after the bombing of the Nordstream pipelines.
You didn’t answer the question.
Germany and the EU need gas and it can be delivered via Nordstream from Russia. Paying for that is only fair. Obviously only as long as Russia does not fight large wars of aggression. That is why Nordstream was shut down for nearly a month before it got bombed. However Russia can change and having the ability to import Russian gas is very useful.
