Maybe Gerhard will get Vova to do something. Or, Vova will get Gerhard to make him smarter

No. Gerhard Schroeder was called to lick his boss' boots.

Gazprom has special influence in Germany thanks in no small part to its employment of Social Democratic ex-chancellor Gerhard Schroeder as chairman of Nordstream, a Gazprom subsidiary operating a pipeline to the Baltic states. Schroeder has been questioned in Germany for his close association with Putin and Schroeder’s defense of the Russian overlord in the Crimean annexation.

It always amazes me how politicians come so cheap.

At least the likes of Schroeder. I'm almost surprised that Berlusconi isn't there, but then again it is Schroeder's not Putin's birthday.
A friend, a good friend...

Actually, if and when the pipeline ever completes its 1200+ kilometer journey, it will cut off all transit countries.... operating a pipeline to the Baltic states

Boots on the ground, but what next
At least they found a charismatic CPT to do the interview.
When asked "what's next in your plans here" he fessed up not really knowing.
They at least like the Estonian version of German pig and potatoes for lunch

Hardly.
The U.S. rating agencies have no competence in their core business to speak of - they merely have market shares and reputation.
Plenty smaller rating agencies exist which could easily jump start subsidiaries or joint ventures.
Besides, rating agencies are so very useless, nobody "needs" them - other than for rackets. It's about time we establish test runs to expose how useless the financial sector's judgement on risks is. I've seen it myself many times; flipping coins would be quicker, cheaper and in no way inferior to bankers deciding on business loan requests.
