So Germany is okay with diplomacy and de-escalation of tensions which means it is not in lockstep with NATO.

NATO is okay with diplomacy and de-escalation of tensions.

My analysis is really simple, Putin is boosting the price of oil because that's how he makes money. The rest is all just a dog and pony show.

I think Germany is the most beautiful country in the world, sorry Italy and Switzerland you are beautiful too. I think it is time to thank Germany by spending our travel $$$ in Germany and our other NATO allies for all they are sacrificing in the name of Democracy - we love you.
