Russia has oil, Germany has manufactured products, win-win.
Putin is dangerous, mostly because of the nuclear threat. Russia can be a limited ally, if we have intelligent leaders who know what can be negotiated and the line where Putin can and can’t be trusted. Per Reagan: trust but verify. Russia is not threatening to move 3 million young adult male Mohammedans into Europe. Erdogan (Turkey) is.

Russia won’t go for that deal. Putin’s done the math and Russia only returns to great economic power status by restoring thier indrusty base. Anything else leaves Germany in the driver’s seat.
