@ins0mniak @waltercool Well, in this case, the German diplomats laughed when he said that they ought to pursue energy independence instead of relying on importing gas from Russia. Not only did Germany double-down on this, but they also shut down their nuclear power plants. Germany has been stubbornly short-sighted on energy and their delegation laughed at the obvious criticism (regardless of who made that criticism) and see the top post for the consequences.
