Article: "Germany hooks up a pipeline into Russia, where Germany is going to be paying billions of dollars for energy into Russia," said Trump and added, "And I’m saying, “What’s going on with that? How come Germany is paying vast amounts of money to Russia when they hook up a pipeline? That’s not right."

I have a problem with that unless there is some threat to the U.S. I suppose we could economically sanction Germany if we have just cause to do so and it makes sense. But the U.S. needs to avoid meddling with how other countries run their own show because sovereign nations have the right to run their own show no matter how we feel about it.

You: Baltics are asking US to supply because if they buck EU demands, they freeze this winter.

No problem.

For all intents and purposes, Germany is the EU.

The EU (Germany) is demanding a pipeline through the Baltics to supply Europe. The Baltics do not want it. An appeal is made to the US to President Trump to supply the Baltics.

The Baltics have centuries of experience with the Russians and they don’t trust them. Russians treat them badly, look down on them, act as if they don’t matter.
