Germany will betray us. They are deep in Putin's council, and reliant on his cheap natural gas to keep their lights on, much less fuel their economy. Germany has done everything they ostensibly can to oppose helping Ukraine. They are happy to sacrifice Ukraine for prosperity in the moment. They are happy to facilitate Putin reconstituting the USSR if they get to keep their failing welfare state. They are like a heroin addict, and about as responsible.
If anyone fucks with the pipeline. I am pretty sure that Germany will be on Putin's side for any repercussions.
People have no fucking memory. They think everything is new, and that they have new ideas. They fucking don't!
NATO was, literally, formed to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down. The only thing that's changed is that Russia now has a few more opening moves to make, and now Germany is again playing the middle of Europe power broker with the Russians and carving up the East along with them, only now it's in exchange for cheap energy. The best thing that ever happened to Putin (and every dictator in the world) is the global warming scams that have brought western energy production to it's knees without a shot being fired. Why shoot someone when they have their own hands around their own throats and are choking the life out of themselves?
