Republicans will jump on this as Democrats defending Russia; truth is, as long as Russia doesn’t sabotage our nation (as they did to elect Trump) or invade our allies, I don’t care what they do. I’d be fine with big punishments until Russia leaves Crimea; but these days I see Trump as a greater threat to the west than Russia. So if Germany has to do what it has to do to stay strong, I don’t have a problem with this.Well, our dumbass President keeps spouting crap & insulting our allies & the American people.
This idea that Germany's buying Russian energy is such a horrible thing as it sends money to Russia is really stupid. The important number is trade balance.
Who cares if Germany sends billions to Russia if it gets it back when Russia spends billions for German goods?
Russia imports more from Germany than Germany buys from Russia.
The US imports more from Russia than Russia buys from the US, so Trump should be explaining to Germany why we are supporting the country that we are bitching at Germany for not investing enough in defense from.
So who has gained more control in this energy business between Germany & Russia? Who needs it more?
Certain, if Russia cut off the energy, Germany would face turmoil until other sources are arranged. But Russia also needs that sale & they would be hurt economically if Germany quit buying.
The gist is this: Trump is a bloviating fool who is embarrassing us & thereby insulting our intelligence. when he made this remark yesterday.
Where’s your proof Russia elected Trump?
The US Senate said Russia helped Trump win.
