  1. Well let's be realistic, Russia could cut off Europe from its gas supplies and that would damage European businesses very badly, the UK is in a better position when it comes to energy. The Europeans need act together and quickly to accelerate renewables or Nuclear. The fact remains Europe is vulnerable and Putin knows it. But instead, Germany supplying Russia with sophisticated military hardware. The Germans not only clash with its NATO allies, but Germany is also expanding its military exports to Russia. Among many others, one sale is particularly worrying: in 2011 German authorities sold to Russia a state-of-the-art brigade-level training facility, which is currently available only to the most technologically advanced Western nations. The order is worth over €100 million. It will enable Russian brigade-sized units to test combat readiness for combined-arms operations, using Rheinmetall equipment to simulate realistic battlefield conditions and assess troop and staff performance. This will be not a step, but a leap forward for the Russian armed forces and their capability to conduct large-scale conventional military operations. The German deal constitutes a significant transfer of technology, with sensitive computing and communications hardware and software ending up in the hands of the Russian military - to be studied, copied and built-upon in the future. It not only boosts Russia’s "power projection" capabilities but also involves the transfer of some sophisticated military technology that Russia will be glad to incorporate into developing its future military capabilities in its neighbourhood and beyond. It means that for Germany - Russia is a partner, despite its aggressive behaviour in Georgia in 2008 and now in Ukraine. There is a corrupt and influential "moll" among German government officials, he is a ex-Prime minister his name Gerhard Schroeder.
