March 6 – BLiTZ. As he writes “Ukraine.ru”, anticipating the visit of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to the United States, Stern magazine published a collage on the cover. In this picture, the huge US President Joe Biden leads the little Scholz by the hand. The image is captioned “big brother is back”.
Note that Scholz proudly announced that Germany had survived the rejection of Russian energy. Now the country, as Scholz specified, is no longer dependent on the supply of Russian gas, oil and coal.
However, in fact, German industry and the people of Germany have paid and are paying too much for this refusal. Tariffs have increased exponentially. Part of the German business, due to increased prices, moved production to the United States.
By the way, those who remained in Germany are paying for gas to the same United States, which, against the background of the refusal of Russian gas, are briskly bringing their LNG to Europe. Some of them are shutting down factories altogether. As, for example, enterprises producing ammonia at the expense of cheap Russian gas.

In addition, the United States pushed through Berlin for the supply of tanks to Ukraine.
Washington is also pushing Germany to purchase weapons from the United States, for example, 35 F-35A fighters.
Thus, Scholz either does not understand that he and his country are systematically humiliated, or pretends not to understand.
