    Yeah, please make Germany more vulnerable to Russia! We need Europe ruled by Putin who is definitely a benevolent and friendly guy and not a ruthless dictator.

      Germany vulnerable to Russia, really? Russia can barely take on Ukraine but now it’s a threat to Germany? Putting NATO missiles in Germany has more to do with US power projection than defense for Germany.
