      The United States of America has already won the war. The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline lies idle, and EU countries have imposed extensive sanctions on Russia.

      What American strategists feared was a Russia–Germany tandem leveraging Russian energy and German technology.

        And now Germany suffers because it can’t access Russian energy. Win/Win for the US.

        I think that’s a short-term victory, though. In the long run this will drive the EU away from the US.
