In a tweet on Thursday, German left-wing politician and chairman of the Bundestag committee on energy, Klaus Ernst, referenced statements by Chancellor Olaf Scholz that the sanctions should not hit Europe harder than Russia itself: “We have now imposed seven packages of sanctions and Gazprom is making record profits.

I think it would be awesome if the Bundestag woke up, and elected Trump as Chancellor of Germany. I know there’s no chance that would happen.

But c’mon, man. It would make for a great novel.

LOL...green fantasies and captive to Russian natural gas....what could possibly go wrong?

Unfortunately, the USA is going to export record amounts of our natural gas to Europe driving our NG prices a lot higher.

This is due to Angela Naivete Merkel and the “sustainable energy” tree huggers. Trump warned her and I remember she and other European leaders laughed at him.

I was around 12 years old in West Germany when the Germans started talking about a pipeline to the Soviet Union in the early 1980’s. I was wondering if they were INSANE, considering we were waiting for the Soviets to nuke, gas, and overrun us. Now I know that I was right when I was 12. They were insane.
