Before smr comes in with his bullshit justifications, here's some facts: Yes, Germany gets a good portion of its oil, natural gas and coal from Russia. But, while we are building a new pipeline to get more of the stuff, that doesn't change the fact that Russia depends on german money more than Germany does on russian ressources. If Russia were to boycott us tomorrow, we still have somewhere around half a year worth of resources (and a bunch of links to other suppliers) before things get critical.
We are not, in any sense of the word, beholden to Russia or Putin.
Unlike, say, a certain US President.
You know, something occurred to me. Trump is basically doing the "I know you are, but what am I" game. When he gets accused of something, he fires those accusations back, and thanks to folks like smr, he's getting away with it.
