These are supposedly NATO allies......yet they dont spend even a paltry 2% if GDP on Defense like they committed to and they scream for us to provide for their defense WHILE they move pell mell to buy ever more of their energy from the very country they want us to protect them against.
You dont see the problem here? Since weve been subsidizing their defense, shouldnt they be buying our gas instead of the Russians gas?
Not if it's not party of a treaty agreement. They would be stupid not to buy the least expensive best gas available. Nations are sovereign and can and should do what they want as long as they don't threaten another nation's sovereignty or unreasonably break treaty agreements.
If there's no threat to the U.S., Germany should buy gas from wherever they want and if we're subsidizing them for stupid reasons, then shame on us.
