Flashback: Sept. 25, 2018...Trump on German dependence on Russki gas...

Out of President Trump’s speech at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, it probably won’t be the script that will be remembered by diplomats but, rather, world leaders' laughter, caught on camera and shared in viral videos.
One of them captured the amused reactions of the German delegation as Trump said: “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course. Here in the Western Hemisphere, we are committed to maintaining our independence from the encroachment of expansionist foreign powers.”
quote:
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas could be seen smirking alongside his colleagues.
quote:
The Social Democrats and other Merkel allies have publicly speculated about another possible reason for Trump’s unexpected interjection: the United States' own business interests. U.S. gas producers have long been seeking new export markets for liquefied natural gas but have found it difficult to enter the European market, where cheaper Russian gas has been easily available.
Trump’s attacks haven’t changed that calculus. After his July remarks, Merkel responded that she may be in a better position to judge her country’s dependence than the current U.S. president.
“I’ve experienced myself a part of Germany controlled by the Soviet Union, and I’m very happy today that we are united in freedom,” she said at the time.
On Tuesday, after yet another Trump warning, her top diplomats had only a smirk to offer.
Just look at these smug fricks:

I wish I knew their e-mails so I could send the link to them. I am sure they are so arrogant that they have forgotten that prophetic speech.

Not really, those fricks are still living high on the hog. The everyday German is the one feeling the pain.

I hope Europe dies politically

Smug a$$holes…. This is why regular people hate politicians. Their hubris is only matched by their ineptitude.

Trump nailed this and once again will get no credit.

Like Frasier said to Roz in "Frasier"
"Ohhh a German narcissist, what a wonderful combination".
These smug fricks deserve to freeze. Unfortunately it will only be the serfs shivering in their homes.

It’s going to be quite chilly in Europe this winter.
Russia will bring Western Europe to collapse and chaos if the EU is not careful. The worst part is that the US will undoubtedly send them hundreds of billions of dollars to “help”.
But hey… good thing the Germans shuttered their nuclear capacity. It’s doing wonders for climate change or whatever the “thing du jour” is.

This is what happens when you put the AggieHanks' of the world in charge of real-world problems.
People who sit around sniffing their own farts really shouldn't be given important jobs.

Honestly.. that would've been fine.. a lot of countries are dependent on a very small number of energy producing countries. The problem is, western Europe knows they are dependent on Russian energy... and for the sake of virtue signaling, they fricked over their own citizens.
Kind of like what's going on here. We're suffering massive inflation... and DC is still virtue signaling like hell. Not giving a single frick about us peasants.

I wonder what will happen to Germany this winter.
Will the lights go out, the factories shut down, the heat go out?
Or will Germany start buying more Russian oil and gas again, like nothing ever happened?
