Political pragmatism is our modern plague.

@randahl In addition to greed and shortsightedness.

@randahl probably repair so Orban won’t Block shit

@randahl nothing new. Let me remind you the time when russia attacked Ukraine and the EU (Germany, Denmark etc) responded by greenlighting another pipeline from russia.

@randahl I disagree with the blaming on political pragmatism, at least how I understand it. To cite a former german chancellor: "I am indeed a pragmatic, but not one without theory and absolutly not one without heart."
I think the problem is not pragmatism targeted at a common cause, but power calculation based on self serving interest.

@randahl I think Putin planned this all along with his pal, Donald... It seems far too convenient otherwise. Americans are all Russians now...
