MOSCOW, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Russia’s ambassador to Washington said on Friday that he did not believe Ukraine would have attacked the Nord Stream gas pipelines without the tacit approval of the United States, and that Russia would identify and punish those behind the attack.
Whoa… besides the fact “Germans bad” was not part of my message you seem to be mixing and conflating stuff.
Trade balance just means Germany also sold a lot to Russia… stuff like diesel engines, pumping equipment etc etc.
And either be angry at Russia for causing the whole war … with all its consequences or not. But being angry at Ukraine for blowing up a Russian pipeline seems kinda selective.
