Germany needs natural gas. Russia has it.
Saudi’s Arabia’s values are in direct opposition to everything America values. Yet look at the relationship. They can even kill a US citizen journalist and get away with it.

- fennecfoxen 5y agoIf a country like Germany merely wanted to reduce their dependency on Russia, they'd frack. They have like 2 trillion cubic meters of gas down there. They have elected not to use it.
- mandmandam 5y ago> Saudi’s Arabia’s values are in direct opposition to everything America values Minor correction: to everything America says that it values. Actions speak a lot louder than words, and the rest of the world doesn't believe anything America says any more. Torture camps, mass surveillance, economic espionage, illegal wars - you know all this. And if you think that's just American leaders, I suggest you try making up a fictional country and asking Americas if you think they need to be bombed. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/18/republican-voters-bomb-agrabah-disney-aladdin-donald-trump https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/18/republican-v... Not flaming. Just keeping things real here.
