Watch: German Delegation Laughed at Trump When He Warned Them About Russia, But Not a Single One of Them Is Laughing Now

Achtung! President Trump was right. About EVERYTHING. WTF were millions of Americans thinking when they voted against Trump in favour for the visibly feeble Joe Biden. What a tragedy. #Trump2024!

German Delegation Laughed at Trump When He Warned Them About Russia, But Not a Single One of Them Is Laughing Now

By Western Journal, March 11, 2022

There were many times when former President Donald Trump faced ridicule for making remarks that turned out to be extraordinarily prescient.

During a September 2018 address before the United Nations General Assembly, Trump warned European Union nations they needed to reduce their dependency upon Russia for their energy needs. “Reliance on a single foreign supplier can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation,” he said.

He continued: “That is why we congratulate European states such as Poland for leading the construction of a Baltic pipeline, so that nations are not dependent on Russia to meet their energy needs.”

Trump called out Germany specifically. “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course.”

In the clip below, the camera pans over to the German delegation. The group reacts to Trump’s warning with eye rolls and chuckle among themselves.

Needless to say, they’re no longer laughing.

Trump understood where the world was headed. He saw that much of the Western world was dependent upon the raw materials and energy supplied by countries that were run by dictators and despots. He knew that reliance upon these hostile regimes for a nation’s energy needs meant yielding a certain amount of control to them and that the degree of control varied in direct proportion to the level of reliance.

Trump chose not to give hostile actors power over the U.S., especially when he was the president of an energy rich country. Understanding how essential energy independence is to national security, he wisely set out to achieve it.

As we assess the geopolitical situation in March 2022, it’s clear that Trump had been right.

Had President Joe Biden been strong enough to resist the far-left wing of his party, his administration would not have declared war on fossil fuels at a time when the renewable energy industry is still in its infancy. It will take years for alternative energy sources to be able to power the U.S. economy.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, “renewable energy sources accounted for about 12.6 percent of total U.S. energy consumption and about 19.8 percent of electricity generation” in 2020.
