>Germany recently saw protests by people who wanted to open it, and some politicians saying it needed to be opened
The protests were made up of AfD supporters and Russian/Serbian immigrants, and the the only politicians saying it needs to be opened are from the AfD.
They are not representative of German public and political sentiments.

Correct. But Russia's hope was that this would change as Germany got colder.
They were probably right.

Ah yeah Wagenknecht is part of the AfD now?
Just the opposite, she's a far left communist of the variety with strong bonds to russia. Which doesn't make her any more politically relevant.
I think she is extremely relevant and with Gysi some of the few reasonable voices.

Clearly, whoever has attacked these pipelines knew perfectly well that the story about Russia being unwilling to sell gas was nonsense, and also knew perfectly well that European sanctions would collapse in the face of rotating blackouts. Apparently someone very powerful cares more about fucking Russia than fucking Europeans.
