I don't understand this shit...if Germany is bad Murican ally cause it signed trade deal wid Chinese then what about Japan, Australia,south korea,new Zealand who signed RCEP.... Japan Australia are part of d quad but same time have favorable trade deals(rcep) wid Chinese..
It was mentioned in the article : but basically the falling out is all about Nord Stream 2 (the gas pipeline from Russia to Germany , which bypasses Ukraine) and the US wishing to control the world's energy supplies.
If previously the US wanted to control or shut down the supply of gas form Russia to Germany it could do so ,though it's Ukrainian proxy ,though which the previous pipelines passed though.. When Nord Stream 2 starts piping gas the Germany , the only non-economic way they could stop the supply of Russian gas to Germany ,is using the US navy to destroy the pipeline (ie militarily attack Germany).
Germany is the world's 4th largest economy and US protectorate(with over 30,000 American troops stationed there) US doesn't want Germany falling out its sphere of influence and the idea of escalating into open military hostilities is unthinkable. You can see German leadership's position ,though, They want long-term energy independence from the US and the pipeline provides it.
