Much of the economic war so far has been an attack on German industry. The new pipeline however only has throughput that’s a fraction of Nord Stream. So, it couldn’t possibly act as a replacement.
I think I read it replaces 60% of Russia’s gas for Poland - so, still big money. But, the USA and IsraEl have ‘generously’ offered to ship gas to Europe - always ‘helping’ out.
So, just to provide some context Nord Steam 1 and 2 were 55 billion cubic metres (BCM) each and the Poland-Norway pipeline is 2.4 BCM. It’s a drop in a bucket by comparison.
