Poland and Germany to “Nationalize” Russia’s GAZPROM Assets – Grab Pipelines

“The government of Poland announced today it is nationalizing the assets of Russia’s GAZPROM; and in so doing, is grabbing the YAMAL-EUROPE natural gas pipelines built and maintained by Russia’s state-owned gas company, GAZPROM. In addition, Germany announced that it, too, will nationalize GAZPROM assets within Germany.   When people do such things, it’s called “theft.”  Governments, re-name it. What this may mean for Poland and Germany is unclear since the gas lines they are grabbing would need to be filled by . . . Russia . . .  the country they just stole them from.”
