Who's hurting more, Germany or Russia?
- orwin 3y agoI mean Germany lost 20 people to this war, even if a German life was worth 100 Russian lives, Germany would be hurting less.
- EdwardDiego 3y agoFair question, probably Germany. They chose to believe in a liberal capitalist just-so story that more commerce with an unfree nation inevitably led to a burgeoning middle class demanding Western style democracy, and well, they fucked up real bad. Same theory was applied to China, same theory failed. Hence the European's sudden desire to expand the capacity for LNG offloading in European ports, they chose the faith based thinking of certain economists over cynical realism, and handed Russia a leash around their necks, who, in a move that shocked no-one who wasn't in German government in the last 15 years, used it to try to control them.
