No, he hates our guts. Just wait for the energy shortage we will probably face this coming winter and watch what he does with the interconnectors on which we rely.

And you don’t think this could be equally applied to British ‘acting in the spirit"?
"Acting in the spirit" is just an excuse used by people trying to weasel out of their responsibilities - contracts/agreements/treaties are worded to be clear and precise, and to avoid ambiguity, and if things are unambiguous, you can’t say "well, I want it to mean something different because that suits me"…
"Acting in the spirit of the agreement" does not mean taking unilateral action which breaches the Agreement.

It’s "projection" - it’s what he would do, so he assumes others would act in the same "spirit"…
