The pipeline thing is easy to evaluate. It clearly gives Russia more leverage over East block countries. Now look who oppose it and who pushes it (while having high ranked politicans accepting lucrative positions paid by Russians) and you will know who our ally is. Doing huge business deal that destabilizes the region while having sanctions over Russia invading part of Ukraine is just big betrayal. We can't count on Germany helping us. The only big player left who is interested is US. Additional bonus is that they have proven throughout history that they are acually capable of doing something. Why should I care if they would tolerate military presence in Mexico. I care about stability and safety of my country and our region. It's clear Germany is not our ally here while US at least does something.
