Do you think the US should determine how Germany gets it energy?
It's Germany's screw up. But I don't think the US should be telling other countries how to get energy.
Because they are allies in NATO and the Russians are a threat. Germany's screw up affects everyone. The US (under Trump) considered the project a security risk to Europe. How can Germans expect the U.S. to use its military to defend their country while they also cut lucrative gas deals with Russia, the country from which it needs protection?

Imagine you're in the russian army, you're told to go on training exercises and then it's 'go kill your neighbour'. That has to be tough on some of them. I hope they manage to see the truth in sooner than later.
On Thursday the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union imposed multiple new restrictions on exports to Russia in response to its war against Ukraine. When it comes to high-tech items, the restrictions are quite sweeping and are designed to curtail development of Russia's defense industrial base, military, and intelligence sectors.

And to make it even weirder is that this part of the world is so intertwined.
Russians and Ukrainians are neighbours and relatives.
Like going to your Cousin's house for dinner and then being ordered to shoot him in the face.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Good. Something something f*** around and find out.
