European history is so very turbulent. Tsar Peter invited many Germans into St Petersburg, he realized that they brought an advanced, European knowledge to his nation. Bismarck made a point of good deals with Russia, Tsar Nikolai and Kaiser Wilhelm had good relations. After the Russian revolution Soviet thought they had good relations with Germany (the Molotov-Ribbentrop deal) but Hitler had other plans like Barbarossa. After the enormous crash and defeat came a long period when Germany had to accept the situation. As we all had to do in Europe, but we all get along quite good. I guess Germany think it is excellent with energy nearby.The countries are almost neighbors, well Baltic neighbors, with the enclave Kaliningrad stuck in between. Maybe they can negotiate very good deals. And it is certainly better than having to deal with MidEast. Many of us over here cannot understand this fear and suspicion against Russia. But I guess it is handy for some politicians to get people to hate each other, just like they did during the big wars. As I have said over and over again, the problem in Europe is the enormous non-Western immigration/invasion , muslims in particular, not Russia. By the way, Russia organized a great FIFA-championship that many Europeans enjoyed. Many, many Europeans travelled to Russia during the games and realized that people over there are just like you and me. We shouldn´t listen to those nasty politicians. <br />Swedishlady<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-87330941895369470222018-07-19T20:14:47.741-04:002018-07-19T20:14:47.741-04:00Question here.

Given the historic animosities and aggressions of Germany v Russia (whatever it may have been called at the relevant times) and vice versa:<br />Why, what explanation might there be, for today's Germany to prostrate itself on the altar of Russian energy? To lay itself & its national economy and political independence bare to the mercies of the one hegemonic economic power that Russia still retains?<br />What is the rationale and the purpose in doing so?ColoCommentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-19135424983753334712018-07-19T19:00:33.033-04:002018-07-19T19:00:33.033-04:00And Castro with CheAnd Castro with CheDiplomadhttp://thediplomad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-64494366220769633062018-07-19T14:55:38.795-04:002018-07-19T14:55:38.795-04:00And that's "KMT" fingers....And that's "KMT" fingers....Captain Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297301009511642108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-3121358975276966672018-07-19T14:49:55.389-04:002018-07-19T14:49:55.389-04:00Much as Mao did with former KMY troops in Korea.Much as Mao did with former KMY troops in Korea.Captain Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297301009511642108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-64949056292573754432018-07-19T13:57:44.356-04:002018-07-19T13:57:44.356-04:00It's necessary to remember that Russia has a G...It's necessary to remember that Russia has a GDP of Italy and a population death spiral.

They don't.<br /><br />While it is a simplified estimate, it's safe to say that half the country is on one side of the political debate while the other half aligns with the opposite side, the Intelligence Community isn't that much different other than the fact that much of it is either active duty, retired, or former military. <br /><br />I know Clapper wore the uniform of a USAF flag officer not that long ago but the blanket condemnation of the Intelligence Community for the bizarre behavior of Obama loyalists aggravates me almost as much as the ridiculous Democrat-guided media claims that all 17 agencies and bureaus that comprise the IC are somehow united in agreement on the Trump "collusion" fantasy. This particular lie about consensus is cynically repeated by the Party's media outlets because they know that most Americans have no idea that only a few of the 17 have anything to do with counterintelligence and that none of them will publicly refute efforts to abuse them for the purposes of deliberately misleading the uninformed.<br /><br />That said, if you still want to send Clapper, Brennan, and Comey off to Ukraine, I only ask that you don't forget to pack Mueller, Strzok, Page (because some women should be in combat), and Rosenstein in the same crate. tfhrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056518846851745411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-86304515353413842712018-07-19T10:24:15.607-04:002018-07-19T10:24:15.607-04:00Dip, Your wife is Spanish.
