I wonder what has been going on covertly between the West and Russia that we haven't heard. The West could be putting screws to some of Putin's "avenues" I referred to that would explain why he feels the need to take this risk.

Germany is also a very interesting player here. While the risks to Russia are now obvious and becoming reality in real time, we shouldn't forget that the other end of Nordstream is Germany, and what do they do if the gas is actually cut off? These kinds of risk are not just one sided... are the Germans ready to face the cost of this conflict head on?

I wonder what agreements and concessions by the rest of the West will be made to help them out.
