Germany will shrug it off. They are weak.
Probably. But will Russia. And don't mistake me for some Putin puffer. Russia's response would (will?) likely be more covert.
Stupid neocons again have put America in a very dangerous position.
Germany doesn't need to be strong. All they have to do is say "NO" to the United States, and NATO disappears.
And now the AfD in Germany is becoming the anti-American Party.
If we did this idiocy the Germans and the rest of NATO should be reconsidering their alliance with the US. Their so-called ally and friend the USA planned and pushed for a war and then took out the means to fuel the German economy. If they will bitch slap Germany the economic power of the EU and NATO what will they do to the smaller countries of Europe?
If this is true we are pretty stupid. We have the Chicoms who hate us, the Russians back again and then we take a crap on our European allies.
