JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: SILLY TO CRITICIZE GERMANY'S SIGNING A BIG NEW GAS DEAL WITH RUSSIA AFTER GERMANY'S FORMAL NOD TO BRITAIN'S DUBIOUS ACCUSATIONS ABOUT RUSSIA IN THE SKRIPAL POISONING




COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT


Germany's industry and Russia's resources are a natural and long-term marriage.

To say anything else is simply ignorant.

As far as the Skipal Affair, every well-informed person suspects a complete fraud by Theresa May and Boris Johnson.

They've supplied no one with a scrap of real proof, proof of anything, even whether such an attack even happened, let alone who is responsible.

This is just a dirty game by May, getting herself some headlines and relief from all the divisions in her own party.

Germany's government would have to be irresponsible indeed to sacrifice energy security over Theresa May's game.

Indeed, one of the very motives in concocting all this Skripal Affair may well have been hopes to destroy energy sales by Russia. The motivating force for that would be Washington's dark establishment which has always opposed, pig-headedly, Europe's buying Russian gas.

In that case, Theresa May has just been playing her assigned part. She is and has been completely subservient to Washington and not much of a leader.
