100 years ago, Germany was defeated with inept policy makers. They could of had it all. With America paying for their military, their foreign policy became lazy and stupid. Leaning on Russia was idiotic. Nothing wrong with buying energy from Russia, but for God sakes, diversify.
In one of the dumbest geopolitical moves in history, Europe outsourced its energy industry to Russia, laughed at everyone who said that was moronic, and then proceeded to wage a proxy war against the country that now has a monopoly on the continent’s gas and electricity. What did you idiots think was going to happen? My word.
