AfD co-leader Alice Weidel is dangling a tantalizing prospect: the relaunch of Nord Stream if her party gains power. On the surface, it sounds like a pragmatic pivot toward restoring Germany’s energy lifeline. But dig deeper, and the proposition reeks of crypto-globalism wrapped in faux-nationalism, a convenient bait for weary German voters drowning in energy austerity and deindustrialization. But would she deliver the goods, gas? I'm not so sure.
Weidel, the “far-right” leader whose résumé includes boxes checked for the woke establishment’s ultimate diversity card (openly gay, former banker, and oddly pro-Israel for a party that claims to defend German sovereignty), is a walking contradiction. Her Nord Stream revival rhetoric may tickle the ears of rational Germans who miss cheap Russian gas, but can Russia really trust such a party? Especially when Moscow has shifted its energy chessboard eastward, funneling its gas empire toward China, where deals don’t come with the baggage of Western duplicity.
Germany needs Nord Stream like a drowning man needs a lifeboat. The industrial base that once fueled Europe’s economic powerhouse is wilting under the weight of American-controlled LNG imports and suicidal energy policies. But Weidel’s AfD doesn’t offer a clean break from the globalist stranglehold; it offers a different flavor of subservience, dressed up in nationalist slogans but fundamentally beholden to transatlantic interests.Russia, having restructured its gas flows to China and other non-Western markets, is no longer playing Europe’s energy game on Europe’s terms. The Kremlin has every reason to be wary: is Weidel’s Nord Stream offer a genuine olive branch or yet another bait-and-switch trap, scripted by globalist puppeteers? The AfD might wave Nord Stream as a symbol of resistance, but it’s unlikely to convince Moscow, let alone rewire Germany’s globalist-coded political DNA.
