The Danish defence minister also said he sees “no imminent threat” to Denmark’s territorial integrity, despite Trump’s repeated threats to annex Greenland.
I don’t know what you’re trying to tell me in the first paragraph, sorry. Sure, fossil energy prices went up since Russia started a war. They did go down again too, though, but perhaps not to 2019 levels.
And sure, there are things that may be in Russia’s best interest. But are we really hoping that the weirdo who is in charge there will pursue them? Especially now, post-Covid isolation which apparently increased his imperial ambition. And no, I don’t want to be in a Russian-dominated economic zone between “Lisbon and Vladivostok”; that sounds like societal regression.
Look if you’re going to write fanfiction about Russia in every single reply it’s just reinforcing stereotypes about the surly German mindset. Stop trying to make me interested in your elections, they don’t fundamentally change the financial relationship between the US and Germany. That is the crux of the original point about the US anointing itself Germany’s top energy provider by eliminating Russia. The people you are talking about cutting the US off would never do it, it’s like talking about Europe rearming and becoming responsible for its military instead of the US, it’s a media debacle without any substance. Adding this whole lesser evil angle where Putin is personally replacing your toilet paper with 2 ply doesn’t add the 𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 that is intended when we’re missing the core relationship between the US and Europe since WWII when it took over the colonial empires and established the modern international debt system.
