Are the liberal socialists upset about Germany buying a fossil fuel from Putin?

I work in the fossil fuel industry. I am not particularly concerned about who Germany is dependent upon, but it is stupid to attack allies leading up to a summit with Putin as it increases instability in the region particularly to countries that are vulnerable and rely on a strong NATO to discourage Russian aggression. Those countries are sleeping a little less easy tonight.
Well, a strong NATO is a well funded NATO. Perhaps they should put their money where their mouth is.
When the first horrid winter hits and Russia is angry at Germany, perhaps they will care about who they are depending on when the pipeline suddenly runs dry. Seems like they are setting themselves up to be Russia's bitch.
Sleeping well is a function of good planning. When you don't properly fund your own future and security, sleep is not something you can afford.
They are about to have 70% of their gas from Russia when the pipeline gets finished. And it's natural gas..... to power virtually everything over there which is the way most of Europe is headed!
BTW
Anti-Trump protest in Brussels expected THOUSANDS, got DOZENS...
The point President Trump made is that Germany is buying energy from the very nation that they want the USA to pay to protect it from. That's total BS and we should stop funding the defense of Europe today. We're $20 trillion in debt (not counting unfunded liabilities). What makes anyone think we can afford to fund ANYTHING for ANYBODY?
