To be honest, there were plenty of warnings. Putins wars in Chechenia, Georgia. And he actually invaded Ukraine in 2014. That was the last date after which the German government should have planned for a future without gas from Russia.

Which isn't what you and others said at the time, I'd guess. Hardly anyone was advocating for this. None of the major parties for certain. Nobody wanted more expensive energy.
Sorry, why would you say such a thing about me? I was actually quite concerned by the absence of a strong international and especially German reaction to the invasion of 2014. Especially it became obvious, that all the Nordstream pipelines were a weapon against the Ukraine.
Those voices just weren't there and it is plenty easy and convenient to say "I was concerned way before everybody else knew of the problem."
Sure, but I wonder which basis you have to attack me personally. Especially since we mostly seem to agree on the topic of the discussion.
I don't believe people are special.
