BLOG: A failed foreign policy? Germany's reliance on Russian energy.

Jakub Ferenčík napsal blog na téma německé závislosti na ruském plynu. V příspěvku rozebírá, že původně pozitivní záměr německé vlády, tedy skrze ekonomickou integraci připoutat Rusko k Evropě za účelem politické stability, se Evropě vymstil a vyústil v pravý opak. Zmiňuje roli bývalého kancléře Gerharda Schrödera, který výrazně přispěl k německé závislosti na dodávkách z Ruska, a okolnosti spojené s výstavbou plynovodu Nord Stream 2. V druhé části pak analyzuje odkaz bývalé kancléřky Merkelové a její selhání vnímat ruské expanzionistické tendence.
