Having been a part of NATO forces in Europe...in addition to Germany...Britain, France, Canada, East Europe Countries, etc. Our air powers would establish immediate air superiority...our special forces would secure most of the path to Moscow...

I agree though...if Germany's interest are in line with Putin, that would be a significant problem.

Do you know that Merkel and Germany are aligned with Russia?

Its the gas, Putin would not hesitate turn off the gas as europe moves into autumn/winter....this is a main reason why countries need to get away from relying on these tinpot idiots for energy and heat.

No I do not, but the EU is a dead end for Germany, and no nation has more upside in this situation than Germany does.

Germany has nothing at risk in Ukraine, and has everything to gain, beginning with Königsberg.

I would not be at all surprised if Jan Sobieski's successors in glory won't be offered Lwow, Grodno, Brest and maybe even Wilno in exchange for the rest of East Prussia.

Big, big forces are in play here - Germany can either defend the right of Greeks to retire at age 49 and pay Portuguese pensions forever, or play ball with Putin.

It's a tough call for them.

This isn’t your daddy’s Cold War. The Russians have been MODERNIZING with WESTERN HELP while we’ve been LGBT’ing. It’s a lot better for us to NOT expose just how unprepared we are to fight a modernized army, as we still have China to deal with.
