Germany has the biggest corruption scandal regarding Russian gas. They are just so embarrassed about it that they prefer not to talk about it so people might not have heard.
Their Chancellor Gerhard Schröder closed down their nuclear power stations and killed the Nabucco gas pipeline in favor of the Russian Nord Stream. Right after losing his re-election he was given a board position in a Russia’s Gazprom subsidiary, where he earns the big bucks without really having to do much.
Awhile back TRUMP made announcement regarding our capabilities to supply LNG...the next day Merkel announced plans for more pipelines from Russia and strengthening ties with them....Stasi and KGB live.
Smart of Germany not to be dragged around by our Deep State regarding Syria. I wish Trump would fully tell the Deep State to take a hike too.
Chilly forecast for Merkel’s visit with Trump
No hugs and kisses are expected between the German leader and the U.S. president, who have a cool relationship — but must still work together.
