    Germany buys Russian gas since the 1970's and the only disruption in delivering came due to Ukranian gas theft and the two Baltic Sea pipelines make the German energy import more safe. We receive less than 25% of our energy imports from Russia and in the case of an energy boycott from Russia Germany has a storage which will last for four month. In this time Germany would be able to react and lower gas consumption significant and reactivate some old coal plants which are out of use but still maintained and can be productive in 10 days again (Kaltreserve - cold reserve).

    A Russian energy boycott would harm Germany and Russia both. Short-term Germany would be in some trouble but the negative long-term consequences for Russia would be significant.

    How mature of you.

    I didn't say anything about alternative sources for energy. You brought this up, not I.

    Yes he did. He doesn't like that the U.S. has been economic patsy for the rest of the world. Neither do I.

    I have no idea. I didn't suggest that you should.

    Oh no!! Now russia, putin, will use this to blackmail germany into allowing russia to take over germany and any other nation who buys its NG!!

    And you know that this is putin's plan!! He is an old KGB guy, ya know? He won't have to even fire a shot in conquering western europe!! He will be a dictator, ruling over all of europe!!

    That we have some people who believe this, or something similar is probably a good means test for IQ level.

    American LNG costs 3.3 cent per cubic meter. Russian gas 1.8 cent for cubic meter. That says evrything.

    What Trump wants is hegemony and he wants to act like a tyrant over other nations. Did he expect Germany or EU in general will follow as he ordered?

    We have made the experience, that president trump has a very low intellectual capacity. For example he asked Chancellor Merkel again and again that he wants a lucrative trade deal with Germany and she repeatedly told him, he cant have that, only with entire EU.

    He did not get it.

    He gets nothing.

    You believe germans buy american cars if tariffs are lowered? You get crooked. Our own car producers want tariffs at zero. Because then we sell more cars in usa. But you wont sell a single more car in germany, simply because your cars dont match what germans want. Same reason why walmart went bancrupt here within 3 years. No matter how cheap they offered, people avoided them.

    You will always be the country that murdered over 6 million productive, law-abiding civilians and latterly attempted to replace them with murderous Muslim. IMO YOUR GROUP JUDGEMENT IS QUESTIONABLE ON MANY LEVELS.

    The alternatives are likely to be quite costly in such a situation. Additionally' IMO Russia is as capable of food production as Germany,

    ha ha. Good one!

    I am afraid a minority of americans have bought into this McCarthyism, the Putin/Russia hysteria, as all all compromised intellects tend to do. Shame is, we don't have a marketable "smart pill" to fix the compromised intellects in america. I once thought about selling rabbit poop as a smart pill, given they are these little round globes, and resemble the "little black pill" from china sold here years ago as a cure all, but in the color brown of course. We have lots of rabbit poop here. Money back guarantee is how I would have advertised it. As soon as a customer popped one in his mouth and tasted sh*t, he would instantly see a gain in intelligence, and become smarter. So I would never have to refund them the money. ha ha. For it worked!!
