I just recall Trump talking about Germany not wanting to pay their share of protection against Russia, yet they are Russia’s best customer.

At NATO, Trump says Germany is ‘totally controlled by Russia’

BRUSSELS — President Trump kicked off his visit to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit here Wednesday with fiery words for members states of the military alliance and a direct attack on Germany for a Russian energy pipeline project the country’s companies and leaders have supported.

At a breakfast with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Trump complained that American taxpayers were not getting their fair share out of NATO and said Germany was “totally controlled” by Russia because much of its energy in the future may come from a pipeline called Nord Stream 2, which would bring Russian natural gas across the Baltic Sea.

Well, it’s true. Germany was not paying their agreed % to NATO — along with many others. And Germany was also making them selves dependent on Russia for their fuel-totally stupid and Expecting the USA to protect them from any Russian Aggression. It was ludicrous.

As is Beijing Biden’s deals with China, and the elimination of the Keystone pipeline. Ludicrous, but we know why - Burlington Northern Oil shipments etc. etc. money talks security walks.
