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.
That is fine.
But telling a sovereign nation what to do is no fine.
