Germany pulls the plug

Trump was right, again. Total Putin stooge, right Dazzler?

I will be absolutely floored if the Germans hold the line here. So will Putin. This is worth tens of billions of dollars to Putin. It is the best lever the EU has to stop him.

I can't imagine the twats in Brussels allowing that to happen. It did absolutely cripple Iran though. It's the ultimate hammer, but rarely used. EU doesn't have the balls here.

Or just part of the staged show. The power structures do what as middle class gets more poor? They stay rich and in power.

Agreed. Putin is savvy enough to get around it. He has enough places to get money moved through. And he’d actually unleash the hackers.

What if it's already been arranged for him to get around this? Are we really to believe Trump was his ally and that he fears Obama? Come on man.

There isn’t that much to do to get that setup. Kazakhstan, Belarus, Azerbaijan and China are among the willing partners that share borders and have similar exports. You’d have to cut off a whole bunch of others too, which will never happen. Would be the end of the dollar as well. But if you were serious about sanctions that’s what you would do.
