- tshaddox 4y agoWhat I remember is that fact checkers mostly focusing on Trump’s frequent conflation of natural gas and all energy. He would often, either carelessly or deliberately misleadingly, say things like “60% of Germany’s energy comes from Russia” when it was actually 60% of Germany’s natural gas, and natural gas accounts for only around 20% of Germany’s total energy. That seems like a reasonable distinction for fact-checkers to highlight.
- willcipriano 4y agoOh then it isn't a big deal then. Nothing for Germans to worry about.
- hef19898 4y agoAlmost correct. Things to worry, but not the end of the world neither.
