American Thinker: Angela Merkel apparently went behind NATO’s back to make a deal with Russia for the natural gas pipeline Nord Stream II, paying for which will drive Germany’s contribution to NATO defense spending below the 2% of GDP that was agreed on in 2014. Germany, with one of the world’s wealthiest economies, is far in arrears on her NATO obligations, has been for years, and has no acceptable excuse for it.
America has been open for years now to selling liquid natural gas (LNG) to Europe at rates below those the Russians can provide with a pipeline. It actually looks as if Merkel just prefers to do business with the thuggish Eastern oligarchs than with the putatively like-minded free markets of the West. Germany evidently isn’t as like-minded as we might have imagined. MORE HERE

Mullah Merkel will pay. Sadly, so will the Germans.
(If only Trump would call for a move of military bases from Germany to Poland tomorrow!)
Could she be thinking that we might not be producing natural gas if one of the crazy green new deal democrats wins in 2020? Just asking.
In any case, let them defend themselves.
Out of NATO now. Let Western Europe fund their own national defense.
Pull all of our shit out of Germany now.
I never trusted Germany after reunification and its history for the 20th century doesn’t suggest it should be.
It seems my lack of trust is now being justified.
She’s an Osty, raised to report to Moscow.
When my Al Ma Mata, the 3rd AD left the Fulda Gap to go stomp Saddam, they took the local economy with them. To this day the Hannau area is still economically struggling without the Yankee dollar. If we left Germany altogether, they would suffer the consequences of international loss of faith, and nobody would want to put their money there. High time we did.
She needs a Twitter War like Netanyahu and Son v. Erdogan.

She thinks she can withdraw a little? Think again, Ma.
Sausage swilling beer soaked Lutheran, boot their Kraut asses out of Nato and tell Ivan he can have that shithole.
The Krauts tried to kill all the Jews and now the filthy fukkin ragheads are gonna kill all the Krauts!
(has to be some poetic justice in there, somewhere …)
izlamo delenda est …
How can Germans be so stoooooopid??
At least Hitler was looking to Nazi interests!
Maybe Merkel would like to be stuffed into a railroad boxcar and be hauled off to parts unknown.
Once a high ranking Stasi officer, apparently ALWAYS a high ranking Stasi officer.
Wasn’t real impressed with their previous collaboration.
Should they call this Molotov-Ribbentrop II?
Considering how much Russians love celebrating the Battle of Stalingrad, this will end well.
Germans are just Nazis. Even when they’re anti-Nazi, they’re nazis about it.
