Angrla Merkel responded by saying she grew up in East Germany. But, now Germans can make their own decisions.
True. However, that doesn’t prevent them from making illogical or questionable decisions.
There is no correct answer for Germany on this one.
If Merkel wants to make their own decisions fine. They can also pay their OWN bills.
I’d then send the same message to U.N., pay up by Oct. or expect to pay your own damned rent. Oh and we also are removing Diplomatic Immunity to all Country’s Representatives that are in financial rears.
Energy security for Germany is a permanent national interest
Neither illogical nor questionable
Insisting that the source of Germany’s energy be from transoceanic shipments or pipelines through and from areas whose stability relies on near permanent military occupation -
and that German-Russian enmity and military rivalry between Europe and Russia be a permanent state
that is illogical
Not a reassuring response given their history.
