    Due to Merkel's anti-Russian politic Germany has already lost tens of thousands jobs, many companies are bankrupt.

    Lessons learned:

    Germans are unreliable business partners, therefore Russia shall product goods by itself or give orders to more friendly countries ( e.g. China, Korea, Japan or even USA / GE/ )

    FRANKFURT, July 23 (Reuters) - Germany has warned Russia that breaches of sanctions including the relocation to Crimea of four gas turbines delivered to Russia by Siemens are straining political relations between the two countries, Bild am Sonntag reported on Sunday.

    The newspaper quoted a foreign ministry spokesman as saying the German government had on several occasions brought to Moscow's attention looming breaches of existing sanctions and unlawful behaviours by Russian companies.

    With few countries ion the world as economically vulnerable to sanctions as Germany, it's a tough one for them.

    Sanction Russia or get sanctioned by America. I think that is the nature of the national dilemma.

    China has the right idea, sanction no one. Trade with everyone.
    Eyes wide shut to their politics.


    IF Mrs Merkel is pulling her own strings, charting her own course of international confrontation... then get rid of her quick.
