....except for those bloody hessians.

...and ww1

...and ww2.

other than that......


Germany once again dominates Europe.

we are there once again to stand up tp them when Europe is too weak to squeak.

you re welcome Europe.

[Scooter]

Getting our talking points from Pravda, are we?

Russia s largest gasbag.... Germany.

merkel is making Europe dependent on Russia for its energy.

Germany is doing more to support putin than any other nation with its pipelines.

lip service against putin is nothing more than that.

just say no as you willingly take putin s pipe straight into the bowels of your nation.

trump speaks glowingly of Xi as he stands up to him, same with putin.

Germany supposedly "sanctions" Russia, yet in reality they support his every move by allowing him to control Europe thru energy dependence.

[wesw]

we need that Russian gas, says Germany.

otherwise we might get cold and catch a bad case of Liberty.

people will be speaking freely, making insensitive jokes, hell they might even make fun of mohamet.....

cough, cough..., up comes May

cough, cough...., out flies merkel and sticks to the wall.

cough, cough..., the thought police are expelled.....

I ve never actually read brietbart, that Bannon fella is just too creepy.....

And then of course there's complete imbecility of Trump presuming to lecture Angela Merkel, of all people, about what it means to live under Russian domination.

By buying natural gas from Russia Germany supports Russian military modernization. Oh and don't forget the largess.

Meanwhile back at the ranch house, US LNG exports are expanding. Russia needs to get busy corralling countries into long term contracts.

Should be old home week for Merkel. I'd like to know who's contributing to her retirement account.

Let me guess, you still believe that Hillary Clinton was running a kiddie sex ring out of a pizzeria in DC.

And the Orange Menace gets smacked down by a 97-2 Senate vote.

That's news to me.

The pertinent reality is the US is on track to becoming the world's largest oil exporter which has nothing to do with Clinton or Obama. Given the cheating on quotas in the past within OPEC it will be samo, samo in the future. More oil and gas mean lower prices. Major suck enroute to Russia and the Middle Eastern countries.

And the Orange Menace gets smacked down by a 97-2 Senate vote.

And the "two" are Rand Paul and Mike Lee...

[wesw]

...and what an important vote it was....

(insert eye roll here)

[Big RR]

Congress almost unanimously voting to condemn a presidential initiative is not important? Please; especially in these days of divisive partisan politics.

Yeezus Crist wes. That was a fait accompli long before Merkel. Do even the slightest research , will you? Germany has been dependent on Russian natural gas for a long time. If anything, Merkel has reduced that dependence by rapidly developing wind and photovoltaic although the Fukushima disaster has complicated the picture because of the desire to get rid of Nuclear. (probably derailed for a long time).

[wesw]

there are new pipes going in , rube

there are alternatives, including American LP and Nordic power sources.

she is increasing german and overall European dependence because of the new pipes going in and by nnot seeking alternatives to the existing supplies

We fought against mercenaries, some of whom happened to be German, back in 1776.
We fought actual Germans a couple of times within the past 100 years.
Thus, in the Gospel of Diplomacy according to wesw,
1) we have been at war with Germany
2) we have always been at war with Germany
3) therefore, we must still be at war with Germany
.... with the inference that we will always be at war with — or should at least always remain pissed off at — Germany

That sure sounds familiar.  Where have I seen that before?
Oh, yeah....

“Oceania was at war with Eastasia.  Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”

Keep drinking Trump's Kool-ade, wes.

[wesw]

well, BB....

that was pretty good.

it doesn t accurately reflect my views, but it was pretty good , nonetheless....

Have you ever heard a dumb German joke?

"Polish state-run gas company PGNiG says it has signed a long-term agreement with two American companies for the purchase of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States amid efforts to make Poland independent of Russian supplies."

"Poland aims to stop importing natural gas from Russia after 2022, according to officials."
