Wagner Will Keep Part of Its African Empire After Russian Mutiny. This always seemed to me to be the reason why Putin couldn’t just kill Prigozhin. If he did, Russia would lose its extensive influence in Africa.

I think Nord Stream has been blown up by US.
Not something to be proud but something necessary to penalize Russia and prevent it from blackmailing Germany.
Now without that blackmail we have Germany fully supporting Ukraine.
I think also Germany knows it but they prefer not to ignore it because now they are free to support Ukraine that is the right thing to do and has more longterm benefits.

I agree that the US was the perpetrator, maybe not alone.
I can't agree that there is anything good for Germany blowing up Nordstream.
Germany has nothing now to blackmail Russia or force them to concessions.
The German support for Ukraine is completely wrong as it is currently done as they done have a valuable position anymore. Not for Ukraine and not for Russia.
US companies are paying Russia for the war, not Germany. Germany is paying the US companies.

Did you never have the idea that there must be an agreement between Russia and the US about this war and the timing of it?

Lockheed Martin and Raytheon paid Putin to invade? Interesting theory.
Or maybe they bribed Shoigu and Gerasimov, seems more likely....

More likely all the criminal minds taking high profits from the vaccination campaigns to avoid to have to answer questions.
Did you never wonder why Russia does never sanction the US?
It would be so easy for Russia to blackmail Biden if they stop delivering nuclear fuel.
But you will never find NPP fuel on any Western sanction lists.
And of course - the US pay for it in a currency that Russia can do something with.

Nuclear fuel is not like oil or gas that need a countinuous supply, it can be stockpiled for years.
It goes both way, probably Russian uranium is cheap and convenient for US and represent only a tiny income for Russia.
I dont' think Russia can blackmail US with uranium, US would buy it from Australia or many other places.

IMO you're complete wrong with this. Russia CAN, but they don't blackmail the US.
If I remember it right, Russia delivers more than 30% to Kasachstan to sell it to Western countries.
Do you remember these news?
Exclusive: U.S. utilities push White House not to sanction Russian uranium
The U.S. nuclear power industry is lobbying the White House to allow uranium imports from Russia to continue despite the escalating conflict in Ukraine, with cheap supplies of the fuel seen as key to keeping American electricity prices low, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The Ukraine-Russia war is wrecking havoc on fossil fuel supply chains. But uranium deliveries for nuclear power remain untouched, for now.

US Seeks $4.3 Billion for Uranium to Wean Off Russia Supply
The Biden administration is pushing lawmakers to support a $4.3 billion plan to buy enriched uranium directly from domestic producers to wean the US off Russian imports of the nuclear-reactor fuel, according to a person familiar with the matter. Shares of uranium companies surged.

Cutting imports of Russian uranium and uranium enrichment services is possible. But it will require adjustments to the overall front end of the nuclear fuel cycle. Here's how that transition could happen.
