Not to mention Germany (largest economy in Europe) and their nuclear debacle. They could have spent the last 20 years building additional nuclear power and reducing dependency on Russia, instead of doing the opposite. 15+ years ago it was obvious what Putin was and the direction Russia was heading. Germany should be a super exporter of energy to the EU/Eurozone (they are a big electricity exporter, they should and could be considerably more so). They land border nine other nations (and are of course very close to Italy). They have the technical and financial ability to do it.
