[...] Germany has become far too dependant from Russian Oil and especially Gas!
Germany can replace Russian Gas but Putin has lost a big market, where he can sell his Gas - probably forever or at least as long as his corrupt circle is in power.
Russia will take the most damage long-term as Germany and Europe are slowly replacing Russian Oil and Gas.
Russia will lose Europe / Germany as a place, where he can sell his fossil fuels.
Germany has a big industry for cars, for steel and for chemical products (like BASF). Very energy intensive production.
These industries will not be any longer supplied by Russian fossil fuels but from fossil fuels from elsewhere.
Very bad for Putin but he won't tell you.
Putin will never tell you when he has made a mistake because he would be so busy.
And he won't tell you, that it was his plan all along to control Europe's Gas supply!
So let's make it similar to an investment: diversify!
Don't buy your whole Gas supply from ONE (corrupt) country.
So, please! When you mention Germany next time, please do proper research.
Putin TV is not a credible source.
The mere fact of living in a country doesn't make its resident a priori a recognized expert in the foreign economy and politics of this state.
Are you sure that you yourself didn't become an object of "Scholz TV" propaganda, regarding your expectations, which do not at all coincide with the Germany possibilities?
Putin tried to get a monopoly for fossil fuels in Germany to have power over Germany. Unfortunately, some German politicains didn't see what was coming (Putin invading Ukraine and Putin using his monopoly on gas against Germany).
And Lafontaine isn't a credible source, he's a joke.
At least regarding Ukraine vs. Russia.
If you are referring to my general position, that I'm against Putin's war because it's inacceptable to invade Ukraine and that Putin is commiting war crimes.
Calling reports from various OSINT reporters, reports from various Ukrainian journalists and even various reports from Ukrainians on this forum "Scholz TV" is a little bit far-fetched, isn't it?
It's funny when a Putin apologist tries to quote a German source, they are always quoting the least credible outlets in Germany.
BILD Zeitung is based on rage, hate and fear. (or fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD)).
The only purpose of BILD is to sell their newspaper. And yes, what's selling better than "monster winter incoming, no gas for heating, we are all gonna die"
I'm not saying that all reports from BILD are bad. They have some good reporters on the front in Ukraine.
Regarding possible gas shortages it is true, that it won't be easy to get independant from Russian gas, but it's important to achieve it.
And Putin will be totally pissed, when it's done and he can write as much propaganda pieces as he wants.
Russia will lose Europe as a purchaser for his gas long-term.
Right?
Or maybe he doesn't want to end in prison when he's calling out, what's happening there: Russia INVADED Ukraine and Russia started a WAR.

Well, you mentioned in your comment, that Lavrow denied that Russia invaded Ukraine.
We all know what is really true. Some viewers (like Lafontaine) might believe Lavrow, that there's actually not a Russian invasion (or whatever bullshit the Russian side has drafted out of thin air).
There was even a Putin apologist on ZDF spreading for 2 hours almost all Kremlin talking points.
So, you can't call it a "total information boycott in Germany".
But there's currently "total information boycott" operating in Russia, for example when people are calling the "special operation" a "war".
