germans don't have to be friends with you to trade with you. just like how they don't need to be friends to work with you. germans will trade with "anyone" (if possible) if it makes practical sense.
they keep "family and business completely separated".
do you understand the german mentality?
wut?
we are discussing germany being "pro russian" not generic statements about "positioning".
where is your evidence?
Who's talking about friends? We're talking about interest here...
We're not talking about Germany being pro russia. We're talking about people within the german eite being pro-russia aka favoring a certain strategic positioning of Germany: a Germany getting closer to Russia and protecting its ties with that country.
We're talking about people like:
Kay-Achim Schoenbach: he was the top officer of the german navy. He was forced to resign a few weeks ago after they accused him of praising Putin.
Mathias Warning, german businessman, very close to Putin and exec in the Nordstream 2 project. He worked for the Stasi...
People like Oliver Hermes and Michael Harms and all their friends at the Eastern committee.
Evidence? Nobody got time for that. You don't have to believe me.
