This is an intriguing insight into perhaps one of the significant foundations of Germany's (thus the EU's) quite public and recent split from the USA - for example with the EU declaring they shall become their own military bloc sooner or later. Throw in the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline between Russia and Germany (and the USA trying to block it and insert their own high priced gas to prop up the US$ a little longer) and it's no wonder Germany and the EU are doing the runner, France leading the pack publicly. The article only really grabs about half way through, but somewhere there it becomes a WTF moment, notwithstanding the "military", "advisers" and "sources" on which it is allegedly written. The inescapable irony is the POTUS who coined "the very fake news network" only to inescapably conduct himself (quite recklessly) based on the "main stream media fake news networks", if indeed this is not just German propaganda to jab a thumb in the USA's eye - however, the quotes and assertions are compelling, coming across as factual.
