Reference

I'm not stating the obvious, but those old pipelines probably had contracts for cheap gas.

"They have to decide what is more important for them: fulfilling some kind of alliance commitment, as they see it, or safeguarding their national interests," P*tin said.

ps.  and, of course, the other gas lines are open season.

pps.  I am gladdened that all this is just the old man filling his private coffers so he can have the good life.  No nuclear threat.
