you wasn't berlin last weekend and you met m chancellor, olaf schoultz, according to german media, schultz sat, we might discuss that. so the option is still open, but he sat, the germany will not take the decision alone. and that's something they've repeatedly stressed for many time saying that they will coordinate with ally. so if u. s. president joe bide says that they might send to germany might also continue sending. this heavy weapons is, has been a very, very long, a way from changing its decade old policy of sending weapons and exactly here and rumps and abby's in southern germany. what we all right now was the place were germany's defense minister. christina lambert, you also get the statement today set that germany would be sending heavy artillery systems. so sending the good pot and anti aircraft system that was announced here. the big question now is germany sending this lay apart it tanks. so as we know, the chancellor, he has been also really reluctant to sent this heavy artillery, but they're still open to m to it should. she gave her a short statement with her and counterpa

i understand that a chances schoultz of germany was just in saudi arabia didn't get what he wanted. he got ones out one shipment, a one ship of oh okay. okay. okay. be ultimate. but my, what i also have to point out you that the energy that europe will be importing from the u. s. will be very, very expensive. okay? that is the game changer. vladimir, let me go to you because this has been just as much a war on germany as it has been on russia. it's really quite amazing the parallels here because it, germany's economy is going to have a very difficult time recovering. remarkably, who would have thought some german companies want to move to america, because they have cheaper prices. okay. this is all part of the plan here, but let's stay with ukraine here. if there is going to be any kind of negotiated and then the conflicts do have negotiated, and i have to wonder if camp is even going to be at the table. vladimir your thoughts? yeah, i think 1st thing you have to remember that not nato a stake story, it's kind of old slogan, is to keep russia out in germany down in the americans, de
