Merkel,
German companies might have received some immunity from the sanctions IF you would have made a serious proposal during your recent visit to America/POTUS to take down the trade barriers (the obvious head economic and industrial power of the EU) and allow American companies the right to compete in your European common market.
Alas, you wanted to have your cake and eat it too. You ended up getting sent to bed without any supper. We will be here waiting when you decide to conduct yourself properly.
And since you pissed us off I would remind you that the only fucking reason Western Europe can 'afford' the socialist democracies is because American taxpayers are funding your de facto military.
Try affording guns and butter and get back to us once you figure it out.
PS. Fuck you for thinking you can use our tax funded military for your country's security while, at the same time, enriching a regime hostile to our country.
Fucking ingrates
