Why is it always Germany? The pipeline reaches German shores, yes, but much of the gas transits to other countries. It even flows back to Poland and Ukraine.

And no, the Swiss did not trade Russian gas in the cold war, it was imported by the large energy companies of Germany, France, Italy. Actually the Germans resold parts of their Russian gas to Switzerland, not the other way around.
Historically was it Germany that opened the gas trade with the Soviet Union. The others followed.
