Why do you guys ignore the oil production of the US. Prior to Biden the US was an exporter of oil.

Anti-war sentiment has always been high in Germany since WWII - and who can blame them - but developments in Ukraine have shocked the German people and there is massive support for Ukraine.
Hmm. Could be, but German leadership will remain flexible. That's good ... as long as it doesn't become contortionist.

New Chancellor Scholz has just announced an extra £84billion funding for the German army along with sending arms to the Ukraine.
“The Swiss Federal Council has decided today to fully adopt EU sanctions,” Cassis said during a news briefing. “It is an unparalleled action of Switzerland, who has always stayed neutral before.”
Undeterred, Mr Scholz went on to announce drastic measures that would have been unthinkable a week ago, including a constitutional commitment to Nato's military spending target of 2% of GDP - and he confirmed that Germany would be sending weapons direct to Ukraine.

It's actually quite stunning that move by Germany!
I never thought i would see, in my lifetime, any aggressive military spending in Germany and shifts in foreign policy.
One really has to hand it to Schultz.
There was an audible ripple of shock in parliament. Some MPs clapped, some booed, others looked stunned.
