Not really, no!
The only other option (not viable though) had been Germany becoming neutral, out of EU and especially out of NATO...but our friends and neighbours (also the US) protested heavily, so I heard.
I am not sure if Germany ever had ambitions of including Russia in to NATO or EU,

The german decision about the continuation of said sanctions was in October 2019....I doubt Merkel had (or needed) Trumps backing for that!
Trump really prefers to do business with Russia....

I wish she would let it go too....To much hassle for what gain? Nord Stream is a like investing in coal and building new coal mines....as we need to invest in clean energy instead.
She wouldn't do it without the US backing.

That too....
Last October the Bundestag decided about the continuation of the sanctions against Russia:
Against: LINKE
Pro: CDU, CSU, Bündins 90/Grüne and the FDP
Abstinence: AfD

And the political right with the AfD who are selling out to Russia.
That too....
Can I ask - where do the FDP stand on the issue of Russia?

Not to mention that many Germans protest these sanctions too....entrepreneurs who are losing out on lotsa good business with Russia but also the political left who always had a soft spot for the dictators in the Kreml...

Na ja, Germany is also the biggest voice to keep up the sanctions against Russia...if it would be only Poland asking for them there wouldn't be any repercussions for Putin's misbehaviour at all, I fear....even Polands bestie Hungary likes to suck up to Moscow!
...Overall, three types of sanctions were imposed: ban on provision of technology for oil and gas exploration, ban on provision of credits to Russian oil companies and state banks, travel restrictions on the influential Russian citizens close to President Putin and involved in the annexation of Crimea....

By now it's mainly only Merkel (and Schröder) still clinging to Nord Stream....
But you are overestimating these sanctions...it's mainly a blow to the building companies who invested their money into this project...not so much Germany or it's economy.
If there will be counter-sanctions it probably will be through the EU!
....Although the pipeline in question leads from Russia to Germany, four other nations - all of them EU members - are co-financing the project, as the gas is also to be supplied to the Czech Republic and many other European countries - hence the demand for the European Commission to get involved in the spat....

I did it for about half a year, wanted to know too what all the fuss was about...couldn't stand it longer anymore....you lose weight definitely, but you get a mean feeling in your mouth (for me the most disturbing thing)...if you don't watch your salt you get headaches and frankly all the time a quite similiar food get's boring...In time I missed my carbs and my fruits and what not horribly.
My personal opinion....do it sometimes, do it even regularly but it's not for all the time or even a longer time.
PS: But you get out of it smarter, be it even because you learn the science behind good and bad fats...

Update: For the fans of KAUFLAND here...they plan to buy about 100 former REAL markets from that russian finance tycoon...they have already asked the german federal cartel office to control this fusion. Also EDEKA plans to buy about 50 markets. But many others will be closed or, if buyed out, changed into something else.
For me personally interesting ist that the online market place "real.de" will probably live on under new KAUFLAND ownership. I liked real online...good offers to moderate prices and easy delivery. A real life saver during Corona! Of course also abit overwhelmed during the beginnings...it was hard to get delivery slots and no paper ware (wc tissues) at all :)
PS: KAUFLAND belongs to the "Schwarz Group" which also owns LIDL....

Interesting polish german history of Münsterberg/Ziebice!
After the death of Henry IV in 1290, during the period of fragmentation of Poland, Bolko I the Strict inherited the towns of Münsterberg (Ziębice) and Frankenstein (Ząbkowice Śląskie). Around 1300, he finished a castle in Münsterberg. When he died in 1301, his possessions were divided among his three sons.....

"Bolko I the Strict" ??? Why oh why can't modern politicians not have similiar meaningful names! :):):)

Hmmm....that doesn't sound like a future to look forward to!
There is no reason at all to correct our ways if that's what we get from it....
It would be psychologically smarter to give Germans an incentive, a reward for correcting our ways, otherwise they might cling to their wrong identity even stronger!
