I’m going to predict that Germany will ask Russia to supply them with gas through the Nord Stream line.

They can’t be too happy about the fact it was Ukraine that blew it up and caused such economic hardship...and loss of national wealth.

Nord Stream is completely nonfunctional and it has apparently been full of salt water for too long to be used again. See link.

Pre Ukraine, Germany was desperate to make Russia part of the European scene and thus worked to make Nord Stream happen as a way to integrate the Russian economy into the West. It turned into a massive failure and a HUGE embarrassment to Germany. Since then, Germany has built facilities to handle liquefied natural gas from the US and other sources. These facilities will handle all of Germany’s current and future needs. (As Trump warned them, they needed to do, or Russia would use the gas as a political and economic lever to force Germany’s foreign policies to Russia’s will.)

Germany’s help for Ukraine is coming out of its current budget, whereas the majority of America’s help is coming from pre-disposal storage of weapons we won’t use again.
