So now it's a test of if Germany was lying about how much gas it's stockpiled as Putin won't back down.
If they aren't 100% on the level about their supply they're really screwed as they either have to give in to Russia which shows them as weak or let people freeze which might actually get Germans pissed enough to turn on their own establishment.

It was always clearly bullshit. Even if they filled their gas storage 100% that’s only like 30% of the total supply used in an average winter.
Not to mention that Germany also has to supply all those neighboring countries that refused to buy gas from Russia, like Poland.
