OTTAWA — With a grateful German leader at his side on Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stood firmly behind the controversial decision to export at least one natural gas turbine for a Russian-owned pipeline that is a crucial source of natural gas for Germany and other European states.
“What we have done by returning those turbines, or that turbine, is remove the excuse that Russia had to blame someone else — anyone else — for their decision to weaponize energy policy,” Trudeau said. “What Russia is doing is splitting populations, splitting allies, splitting all those who are supporting Ukraine, and this is the reason why we are so thankful for the decision of the Canadian government,” Scholz said.
“This is all political gamesmanship, and it’s really important for Canada and Germany to stand up to Putin and stop falling for his energy blackmail,” Grod said.
The sanctions hurt normal Russians, not Putin or his oligarchs.
I’m sure Putin will be having sleepless nights now,
