🇺🇸🤝🇷🇺🆗⛽️➡️🗺 — 🇬🇧 Financial Times | Putin ally pushes deal to restart Nord Stream 2 with US backing | Ex-spy Warnig’s plan to involve American investors shows breadth of Trump’s rapprochement with Russian president | March 2, 2025:

"A former spy and close friend of Vladimir Putin has been engineering a restart of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Europe with the backing of US investors, a once unthinkable move that shows the breadth of Donald Trump’s rapprochement with Moscow.

The efforts on a deal, according to several people aware of the discussions, were the brainchild of Matthias Warnig, an ex-Stasi officer in East Germany who until 2023 ran Nord Stream 2’s parent company for the Kremlin-controlled gas giant Gazprom.

Warnig’s plan involved outreach to the Trump team through US businessmen, the people said, as part of back-channel efforts to broker an end to the war in Ukraine while deepening economic ties between the US and Russia.

Some prominent Trump administration figures are aware of the initiative to bring in US investors, according to officials in Washington, and they see it as part of the push to rebuild relations with Moscow.

While there have been several expressions of interest, one US-led consortium of investors has drawn up the outlines of a post-sanctions deal with Gazprom, according to one person with direct knowledge of talks who declined to disclose the identity of the prospective investors."

🇺🇸📈❌🇪🇺📉🪖 — 📰 ZeroHedge | European Reality Check: Without The US There Is No NATO And No Ukraine | March 3, 2025:

"(...)

Political leaders and media proponents have been flooding social media to show support for Zelensky as the new savior of the EU and many have suggested that Europe can easily fill the void that the US leaves behind.  This is dangerous delusion. 

For example, the US represents around 70% of the entire annual combined defense spending of NATO countries.  No other nation comes close.

In 2023-2024, this expenditure amounted to over $860 billion. The closest NATO member in terms of budget for the alliance is Germany with $68 billion. NATO funding is included in America's total defense spending package.

According to RAND Corporation's Defense Spending Index, the US carries 47% of the burden share, vastly outweighing any other NATO member.  While NATO's official budget is $3.5 billion, this does not represent the burden share if NATO goes to war.  Members with the largest armies and spending the most on defense will be expected to expend the most resources in a conflict. 

The media consistently misrepresents the NATO spending imbalance by comparing NATO fees as a percentage of GDP.  This is nonsense. The sheer amount of defense spending is what matters, not the ratio to GDP.  When examined in true terms there is no argument to be made - The US is essentially the military cash cow for the entire western world.  Without the US there is no NATO."
