Is the Enemy of Your Enemy Necessarily Your Friend?

I don’t have the time to devote to this post but it’s becoming apparent (see WaPo) that the Ukrainians were behind the sabotage of the Nordstream pipelines. I only have time to ask the question: is forcing Germany’s hand the act of an ally?

My answer to that is that there are priorities. For the Ukrainians detaching Germany from Russia was a higher priority than being Germany’s ally.

If the story has legs, there should be a price to pay. More fuel for delaying Ukraine’s admission to NATO or being under NATO’s aegis.
