only a handful of investigators at most have been assigned to work on the Nord Stream case on a full-time basis.

the perception among investigators is that the will to solve the case is not particularly pronounced in the capital. Politically, it is easier to live with what happened if it remains unclear who is behind the attacks.

Best thing that could’ve happened to Germany and Europe. For too long have they been suckling on Russia’s tits and became too dependent on cheap Russian gas.

I understand why they did it originally - tie them to you as an ally, so it’s in all parties’ best interests to behave. Gives both sides benefits. But it assumes all parties are rational, and Putin isn’t. I feel sorry for the Russians who don’t know/understand this, since they’ll be paying for this long after Putin offs himself/falls out a window. But fuck Putin.
