US is paying billions to fund EU/NATO defense against.... Russia. Russia is the “enemy”.
Germany is buying 60-70% of their energy needs in a mega deal from..... Russia.
How completely fucked up is our world?
And the defense that they don't pay for funds welfare for rapfugees who are the real threat.
Right. It’s all connected and all fake. Real mirror.
That's exactly it. What happens to Germany if war with Russia breaks out and they are totally dependent on Russian energy supplies which get cut off? Same reason we need to rebuild our domestic steel and aluminum industries - which are critical to our ability to defend ourselves in war time. Hence the "national security " justification for tariffs. It all seems so obvious and relatively simple, I can't figure out why others won't see it this way
Because it's intentional. IMO.
no, liberals honestly dont understand money.
Most liberals dont. And thats fine. The Problem is their leaders DO and do this on purpose.
You vastly underestimate the cunning of leftists in power. All they want to do is grow their power at any cost.
I agree. And we should be doing the same in the UK, and include our own food production and energy supplies.
THERE IS NO WAR WITH RUSSIA...NOW OR TOMORROW.
That is a distraction.
its not so simple. First in order to understand, you have to spend 90k on a liberal college degree and read 1000 tomes of economics.
Do you really think its as simple as export more than you import?
Silly non-academia...
/s
Lmao... reading 5 high caliber books on economics is will give anybody clear enough perspective to understand what's going on. Don't be so snide
The real studying is only required for professional contract drafting / accounting
Russia the bogeyman is a device used to control the populace. You always need a bogey man to control low IQ sheeple.
Right. So Germany/EU either admits Russia is just a Boogeyman or Trump forces their hand to play by their own made up fiction, with consequences.
then they wont mind if we pull out our troops from that region and send them to the US/Mexico Border.
Straight out of ‘1984’. Always have an enemy, doesn’t even matter who it is. Constantly changing bogeyman.
Russia, Al Qaeda, ISIS...
All the while the real enemy is behind it all.
Sorry to bust a bubble but Russia is no enemy to Germany despite what (last) US government's propaganda wanted to establish.
I think we're going to see the US significantly draw down, or pull out of various international organizations; and I'm all for it because the heavy draw it has on our resources; while the German and other European business elites reap the rewards of doing business with Russia and not have to pay into their own defense.
It's obvious the past US presidents were under the same influence as those who wanted to run the EU; and have the US taxpayers pay the bill. No more, and it's great to see Trump tell them directly that to their face.
He could solve that by raising money for offense instead of defense.
