While there are arguments to the contrary, and nothing moves in a strait line, like Turkey, Germany really is drifting further away from the US. And it is happening at an accelerated pace.
Hopefully the course can be reversed, however, even while superficial, the German government has actually been growing closer to Moscow over the last 8 years, likely in part because of energy.
I would not be surprised to see a more rapid and widening chasm between Germany and the US going forward.
Germany is already upset and even antagonistic toward the US for moving much of EUCOM deeper into Eastern Europe, and the US not going along with what is proving to be German political and economic hegemony throughout Europe.
Wow, once again, the Eastern European nations are going to have some tough sledding not long in the future. The domino’s were kicked over long before the election of President Trump.
Germany and Russia really seem to have a problem with Eastern Europe, likely because they don’t want Eastern European nations to be so self dependent, and both want Eastern Europe more under their control.
I guess I and II were not bloody enough between European socialists.
Hey, maybe III will be more of a blast! /s
I am truly thankful we have Trump, even though just a breather...
The world is really prepping for major wars.
STUPID A-MORAL SOCIALIST!
Guess I kind of went off in a different direction than deportation.
You bring up some good points. Maybe intended or unintentional, but Putin is seeing the invasion as an opportunity to re-establish the, USSR. Whether Russia is broke or not, they have the ability to wrap up those smaller countries in their big, red blanket.
The last German-Moscow or German-Turk alliance did not go too well, I would be worried...
