We ran it even if we had support from the Brits or Poles. Germany is on the edge of backing out of the sanctions because they are getting decimated economically and public support is dropping like a rock. Obama and the Deep State are running things, Biden is no more than a convenient fool Muppet.
So we are now at risk of Russia and Germany aligning against us? Seems like a possibility. If this was done to pressure Germany to support Ukraine and continuing the conflict. Will be interesting to see what Germany does next.
