... and reward Trump'S Holterdipolter policy and increasing energy dependency from overpriced American liquid gas deliveries and paying too much for these?? No, thanks, the one option is so unlikeable like the other.

Also, like it or not, Russia is needed in many things and regards. Syria. Libya. Even on Erdoghan he has huge influence, since Turkey cannot ignore Russia.

The simple unwelcomed fact is that the West has arranged itself for too long with Russia and now sits in a trap, cannot move out, cannot stay put.

Well. That is what Realpolitik is about. To differ between what can be done in reality and what should be done in an ideal world. Lets face it, Russia is our continental land neighbour. The US is not.

Merkel certainly once again now gets the bill for a policy of 15 years syytematcally incraiosng Germany'S dependencies and vunerabilities for short-sighted oppotunism and lack of realistic longterm strategy. Germany has more important thigns to do. Savign the pkanet all by itself, for exmaple. The Energiewende. And making the world follow our moral abolutism.

A dilemma for Germany and the EU. Home-made.
