It's essentially killed the German economy. It's all by design. The Americans don't want Germany and Russia teaming up to be a Regional Hegemon of Eurasia.

Also now America can supply Germany with Gas.

Is all by design. American Hegemony.

It has not. Germany is in technical recession, but people are not dying in the streets, have jobs, and can take care of their families. In the US the economy is stellar, yet homelessness is peaking, with people unable to afford housing even if they have a job. Stop calling it “the economy” as if it was a direct translation of the reality of a society. It’s not. Signed: a business journalist.

The parent there is spouting utter nonsense.

But I think your analysis is poor. The homeless rate is higher in Germany than the US for example. Germany isn’t on fire, but I think it’s awkward to color it in a way that implies people are doing better there than the US. It will be a painful economic transition.

"JB: Since the Second World War, it has always been U.S. policy to prevent Germany and Russia or the USSR from working more closely together."

JB = Jacques Baud, who worked for NATO.

Then why were successive American President so adamantly opposed to Russia selling gas to Germany? Why would they care?
