Trump warned you. Funny, you say it was obvious. Y’all sure didn’t seem to think so 4 years ago.

Who’s laughing now?
The germans sure have been historically stupid and not much has changed in present day.
Reagan and more recently Trump tried to warn them. Two great leaders of two different eras tried to warn them. Let’em get cold in the dark. Stupid should hurt.
Yes, Germany has had this ridiculous commitment to Gaia worship for a long time.....call it a reversion to worshipping the pre christian forest gods they used to worship.
So they stupidly shut down coal, shut down nuclear power plants, failed to build LNG terminals or secure contracts with other suppliers and went all in on making themselves almost completely dependent on Russia - thinking themselves oh so smart the whole time.
and exactly as predicted and as they were warned against by practically every American administration since the 1960s, it has now come back to bite them in the ass.
Germany has to choose between Gaia worship on the one hand and national energy security and a functioning economy on the other. I’m not at all sure which they will choose - they are that committed to sacrificing to Gaia.

Yet is was Europe’s Princes-Dukes-Grand High Hockey Pucks that made things go BOOM in 1914. Was the first time in that century Russia got pulled into trying to stop the Euros from setting themselves & everyone else afire.
But, as you noted, Russia’s been around for a very long time and it’s immense energy resources are not going anywhere. The countries of the world understand this and realize the best course was to make Russia a codependent/partner in the world going forward.
they are that committed to sacrificing to Gaia.

“ Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.” ― George Orwell
Man, watching those smug dweebs laughing at the President is infuriating.
Part of the problem, kept on the down-low, was that German politicians were being bribed, even then.”
German politicians needn’t worry. Germany can fall back on their strategic reserves of gas.
They DO have one, don’t they?
==8-O
It doesn’t bother me. Who’s laughing now?
Trump was trying to help them. He was giving them good advice. If they wanted to act like petulant children and not follow that advice...and now find themselves in a world of hurt because of it, that’s their problem.
The Russian gas they need is for sale, all they have to do is pay the piper. A gram of gold gets them 5000 rubles at the Russian central bank. An ounce gets them about 142,000 rubles.
No real problem for Germany to come up with enough physical gold, probably, but it would be death to the petrodollar because the demand for rubles will drive gold up and drive the petrodollar (deeper) into the dirt. That’s what this is about. It had to happen eventually but the changeling walked us into it.
“...thanks to the policymaking of previous administrations.”
Trump tried to warn the scum.
“ politicians were being bribed, even then.”
It will interesting to see if the West can overcome the corruption, and tragic if not.
France has plenty of nuclear power...maybe Germany can buy some of it for exorbitant prices!😀
Started way before Trump. President Bush43 told them it is not wise to build the first Nord Stream.
Something tricky about the Germans. I believe they actually want to do good, but their elite drives it into foolishness like “you do good if you project the gay rainbow flag on the Iranian embassy”.
They can do good now by turning the thermostat down by 3.6F and wearing a sweater. 50 bcm gas (a third of what they buy from Russia) would be saved a year this way. I for one hope that they’ll do it and support it even if it means it must turn into a virtue signaling competition with pretty girl posting their sweater pictures to Instagram.
You shut all your other sources down...you bunch of dumb a**** who bow to the climate change farce.
Lithium is the new drug of choice.
Sure, tell that to the loyal Putin troops and Russians who are being rationed of gas right now, freezing feet in the mud.
Maybe someone should ping Biden the same about Venezuela and Iranian oil…. But the Citgo campaign contributions cannot be ignored by money grubbing democrats. Citgo is the only “big oil” that is never targeted… and gazprom too before this
I made a mistake in my math. For that yield they need to turn the thermostat down by 7.2F, but that calculation is if only Germany does it.
The requirement gets smaller when other countries do it too.
