Because the sanctions against Russia went so well (Germany deindustrializing, Europe spiraling into full-blown economic crisis, Russia now self-reliant and with a newly reinvigorated and growing industrial manufacturing economy), the geniuses in Berlin and Brussels are preparing to sanction the central economic engine of the world, an economy at least ten times the size Russia's and upon which they themselves are even more dependent, at a time when Germany and Europe are maximally uncompetitive.
If people would look at Germanies decisions from the last couple decades as the lap dogs of the US then it makes much more sense. Turns out t our leaders aren't stupid nor incompetent but our media plays along pretending it is all a mistake and not going according to the plan (even if it is a shoddy one, but then it is the losing camp).
