Not bad for an old hack of a babbling huckster.






Some politicians easily can be imagined who forever will be incapable to deliver a speech like this, and I do not mean the pronounciation, but the meaning of the words, and the spirit it breathes. Germany's Olaf Scholz or Grand Orange Party's Donald Trump just two examples.

What do think of this speech?

I think it's very sad when Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia when you're supposed to supposed to be guarding against Russia and Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia. So we're protecting Germany, we're protecting France, we're protecting all of these countries and numerous countries go out and make a pipeline deal with Russia where they're paying billions into the coughers of Russia.

So we're supposed to protect you against Russia but they're paying billions of dollars to Russia and I think that's very in inappropriate. And the former Chancellor of Germany is the head of the pipeline company that is supplying the gas. Ultimately, Germany will have almost 70% of their country controlled by Russia with natural gas. So you tell me, is that appropriate? I've been complaining about this from the time I got in. It should have never been allowed to happen. But Germany is totally controlled by Russia because they were getting from 60 to 70% of their energy from Russia in a new pipeline and you tell me if that is appropriate because I think it's not and I think it's a very bad thing for NATO. And I don't think it should have happened and I think we have to talk to Germany about that.

On top of that Germany is just paying a little over 1%. Whereas the United States in actual numbers is paying 4.2% of a much larger GDP. So I think that's inappropriate also. We're protecting Germany, we're protecting France, we're protecting everybody and yet we're paying a lot of money to protect. Now, this has been going on for decades. This has been brought up by other presidents but other presidents never did anything about it because I don't think they understood or just didn't want to get involved.

But I have to bring it up because I think it is very unfair to our country, it's very unfair to our taxpayers and I think that these countries have to step it up -- not over a 10 year period, they have to step it up immediately.

Germany is a very rich county. They talk about they can increase it a tiny bit by 2030. Well, they could increase it immediately tomorrow and have no problem. I don't think it is fair to the United States. so we're going to have to do something because we're not going to put up with it. We can't put up with it. And it's inappropriate. So we have to talk about the billions and billions that's being paid to the country that we're supposed to be protecting you against. Everybody's talking about it all over the world. They'll say wait a minute we're supposed to be protecting you from Russia but why are you paying billions of dollars to Russia for energy? Why are countries in NATO, namely Germany having a large percentage of their energy needs paid to Russia and taken care of by Russia?

Now, if you look at it, Germany is a captive of Russia because they got rid of their coal plants, they got rid of their nuclear plants. They're getting so much of the oil and gas from Russia. I think it's something NATO has to look at.

I think it is very inappropriate. You and I agree it's inappropriate. I don't know what you can do about it now but it certainly doesn't seem to make sense that they've paid billions of dollars to Russia and now we have to defend them against Russia.

FORMER WARSAW PACT MEMBERS experienced oppression of Moscow. It was they who sounded the alarm along the above speech by your favorite scapegoat. That Germany was a bunch double dealing financiers of the mess we find our selves in today. It’s not Biden, it’s not Trump, it’s not Poland or Ukraine that got us here. it’s Putin and the Germans who paid for it that got us here.

Before any replies read the speech.

I will admit nearly all European nations, the European Commission, and a sizeable portion of the German, Austrian, and Dutch publics oppose NS2. Stopping NS2 is not anti-European. Only certain Germans and their Putin lovin colleagues started this and it happened because you weren’t looking or didn’t care to look. And now the United States, U.K. and France and others have over 140,000 troops protecting your eastern flank because you dropped the ball and were more interested in cryin over mean tweets and orange hair. Don’t ever attempt to compare any of our presidents to your own leadership collaborating with Moscow and colluding with Putin
