Exactly - see post 97 - the Germans want war with Russia and believe they are at war with Russia by funding and arming Ukraine. They do not care about Ukraine. They do have a strategic need for Russia’s resources.
We are at war with Russia. We have so damaged bilateral relations, it will take generations to repair.

Most of the world is ignoring the sanctions, including some NATO countries.
