I see this comment popping up a lot in comments sections all over the place. And I never seen a good source to back up. Do you have one?
If someone really thinks this is a good idea, they must think that it is a good idea to give Israel and Iran a veto over whether Europe gets gas. Depending on your point of view I can see one or the other, but who on the planet earth wants to give both of those nations a veto?
And that is not even counting every small group with a grievance and some explosives.
