Why Putin’s Pipeline Is Welcome in Germany. We object to a pivotal NATO ally increasing its dependency for energy on the very nation against which the United States has defended that ally for 70 years. Why are you buying Russian gas when we are protecting you from them, the Americans ask.

I think there was a time when we were actually advancing the cause of freedom to some extent, while making it worse in other places - but once we won in Europe, the entire bureaucratic-military-industrial complex needed to continue to exist to keep getting paid.

If Germany wants to be allies with Russia, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't withdraw our troops and with them a nice day.
