Russian - German Collusion

At the recent NATO meeting in Brussels, Trump highlighted a little reported fact, he revealed that the Russians and Germans were constructing a huge Baltic Sea pipeline between their two nations.  A line that would provide Germany with about 70% of it's energy needs.  Making that nation almost totally dependent on the Russia state for it energy needs.  Little wonder that the Germans are unwilling to pay their fair share of 2% of GDP for NATO's defense fund.  But then when you think about it why should they bite the hand that keeps their power on.
