Of course :-)

The funnier / biggest irony is that US and Russia are working together to fix the pipeline, buy distilleries in Germany to sell to the Germans Russian gas at US prices.

I would not describe this as "US and Russia are working together to fix the pipeline", but more like "some people think about it".

This is a reasonable negotiation pawn. If Russia can be convinced it can somewhat reengage economically after it drops aggression, that can be part of the carrot and stick approach.
