If the Germans don’t see that NS2 is purely a geopolitical weapon against Ukraine then they’re nazis.
Germany and Turkey keep playing us since the Berlin wall came downe. The old axis, including France, Spain, Italy, Austria and Hungary is intact again.
There is no other government worldwide that is so wishy-washy as the one in Germanystan. Like so much else in their kindergarten politics, there is no clear concept concerning NSII when you hear what their politicians are saying about it. It is anybody’s guess as to if it will be allowed to operate or not.
