Interesting how willing Trump is to mess up everyone's party like a big Elephant walking through... crunch.. clunk... whoops.. Well I never... How undignified!
When you read the back story how Billion dollar deals get made between Germany and Russia for Energy... then you wonder isn't the whole NATO scheme of things pretty much a fraud. On the one hand we ring Russia with Missile sites bringing the Obama Administration into the scheme with it's placements in Poland.
Oh! We must maintain our strength against our life time adversary...

that last minute of Mr. Strzoks testimony .. 'the victory notch for Putin to tear apart our Nation'
the last minute strikes me that the root of the problem is this fear of losing our adversary... what if we were just in another business deal with another country all this jockeying for wealth and control of the Planet.. are we the 'Good Guy's' with all of our Weapon's aimed against the 'Bad Guy's'...
Is Germany a ‘captive’ of Russia?
Not really.
NY Times ... Does it depend on your definition of 'captive' or 'not really' ? >
Germans view Russia more favorably than Americans do. And United States governments have been complaining about Germany’s dependence on Russian gas for years, even if Mr. Trump has done so more bluntly. But Germany has endorsed tough sanctions on Russia even when they looked likely to hurt German business, and German companies have gone along.
Last year, the German manufacturer Siemens stopped delivery of power plant turbines to a Russian partner when it emerged that it was transporting them into the disputed territory of Crimea.
“Germany refuses to see that large energy projects also have a political dimension,” said Marco Giuli, an analyst at the European Policy Center. “For the German side there is no contradiction, the general take in Germany is that energy policy is a full component of commercial, economic policy and the decision should be entirely left to commercial actors.”
