Putin was the master of Merkel.
Wrong. Angela Merkel knew exactly what's wrong with Putin. He even set his dogs on her - from a practical point of view. But she had the hope to be able to prevent a worst case scenario. If we got gas from Russia over the Nord Stream 1+2 pipelines we had also been able to give Russian gas to the Ukraine in case Russia and the Ukraine had been in a serios diplomatic conflict. The Ukraine, the borderland, would have been less susceptible to blackmail. Such things always worked - also during the cold war. But meanwhile stupidity seems to dominate not only the US-American politics.
