This won't go over well at TOP.

It appears that Germany has had enough with America's Russia sanctions.



Germany threatened on Friday to retaliate against the United States if new sanctions on Russia being proposed by the U.S. Senate end up penalizing German firms.

The Senate bill, approved on Thursday by a margin of 98-2, includes new sanctions against Russia and Iran. Crucially, it foresees punitive measures against entities that provide material support to Russia in building energy export pipelines.

Berlin fears that could pave the way for fines against German and European firms involved in Nord Stream 2, a project to build a pipeline carrying Russian gas across the Baltic.

Austria also slammed the new sanctions.

Hungary, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, and Greece already opposed Russian sanctions.

So will Dems in Washington start an international trade war with our allies in Europe just so they can continue to push the Russia! Russia! Russia! meme in the hopes of distracting us away from everything else, such as our disastrous wars?

Also, does the fact the sanctions aren't working make a difference?
