Putin's puppet goes off the reservation

Lol, look at these cock holsters, let them pretend they would have applauded Obama doing or saying any of this. They really are deplorable. I'm sure they have forgotten whining that Obama was too soft on Putin. Hey, his base will get off watching the buffoon talk back to stoic folks with funny accents, ain't like most of them have a passport.
You'd better get ready for the simple fact that European nations have been doing business with Russia for a very long time.
In socialist countries, everything is funded , in part, by the taxpayers. One does have to ask the question, why are we protecting Europe from the Russians when they are buying large amounts of energy from the Russians propping up their economy? We can provide the energy. Maybe it is time to pull the plug on NATO.
We spend all that money on our defense and to prop up our economy. We happen to be in NATO.
I agree that Germany should not be doing this deal with Russia.
I'm laughing at your entire post but I don't have all day to dissect it and quiz you on it. You or Trump can ask any questions that you want. While you're at it, ask someone why NATO was created and continues to exist.
NATO is not a country. NATO members do have sanctions on Russia, though most are cosmetic.
This is essentially an economic sanction and we currently have no reason for doing so.
On this I completely agree. Why defend Europe if they are all more interested in propping up Vlad's govt?
You mean messing with our election isn't reason enough? Or do you not think that buying those ads on Facebook actually made a difference?
Is there something wrong with wanting to stay warm in the winter? Who should supply western Europe with nat gas then?
If we can find a way to supply to the europeans what Russia is, as cheap, we should make that a condition of us remaining in NATO. If we can't, that's a little different.
Why be the worlds greatest country ever with the largest economic might ever seen and not be willing to use it to our advantage?
Stop with the defending Europe BS. We are defending ourselves, our economy and our allies.
So the U.S. can deliver an uninterrupted supply of nat gas to western Europe cheaper than any other supplier? take your time with this one...
If Germany gets a good deal on Russian gas, good for them. It's obviously the case. On the other hand, if Russia does something wrong, then take official legal action against them.
This a matter between Germany and Russia. It does seem odd to depend on getting a major portion of your nat gas supply from someone perceived as an adversary but Germany's nat gas supply needs to come from somewhere. Trump wants to be friends with Russia so perhaps we are punishing them all that we need to right now with existing sanctions.
