you left out plenty, including

the fact there's a 25 year contract to supply a minimum of 9 billion cubic metres (320 billion cubic feet) of natural gas per year for 25 years to germs.

nord stream bypasses Ukraine, Poland etc, they lose billions and the pipeline can be used as a political tool to control them.

germany is just as susceptible to ruskie political control via the pipeline.


there's more.
