What risk? America has Germany pegged, it knew you wouldn't buck and every single day since the attack proves that they were correct to think so.
They didn't go into this blind, either. They were caught spying on your head of state, and what happened? Same thing that happened here: meek, obedient silence. No consequences for abusing Germany, never has been and never will be.
This idea that you're waiting for proof is absurd to the degree that you should, I hope, feel a little self-pity for even typing it. Germany has nothing to say about the investigation being handled by other countries, about details still not emerging, about the comically ridiculous claim that it was done by some ragtag group of Ukie nationalists with a rented pleasure craft, total silence on the Hersh article.
Germany knows who did it, and so does everyone else. Have some self-respect.
nice dodge on pootin being a complete cuck, if it actually was the yanks, lol.
i mean one thing is crystal clear: there wouldn't be a military escalation between america and germany - obviously we would be hopeless in that (nor would it be an appropriate response to a blown up pipeline that wasn't going to carry any resources anyway for years to come), but there would certainly be severe diplomatic and economic ramifications: a much bigger loss of trust between america and the whole EU than even the devastating trump presidency brought about, immediate cancellation of arms contracts with american manufacturors (something i would love to see anyway)... you get the idea (i hope). we certainly wouldn't just sit there and do nothing like the weakling pootin, lol.
again though, if you weigh those risks against the benefits, which are further limited by the circumstance that germany already committed to divesting from russian gas and oil, it just doesn't seem like a sound calculation to me. but again, if proof says otherwise, i will definitely accept that.
until we know, however, it'd be foolish to make unwise decisions that could backfire, just because some russian troll farm employees on copium are desperate to drive a wedge between allies, just because they want to weaken the resolve of the free world's support for ukraine.
it's a pathetic approach to begin with: imagine being so incompetent and weak that you have to resort to those kinds of tactics because you simply can't break the resistance of the neighbour that you arrogantly assumed to dispose of within a month, lol. don't you feel embarrassed? do you not have any self-respect?
pootin not only managed to piss away russia's future, he also made it the laughing stock of the present, lol. how do you not feel ashamed shilling for that?
