Interesting, but I do believe there are some tech differences that come into play as well.

Location and duration will be the deciding factors between the two.

Sadly, the article does not dwell on the really important aspects. It is 1939 all over again. But instead of Hitler and Stalin partitioning Poland, Merkel and Putin are partitioning Europe with Gas. Natural gas. Russian natural gas. And billions of tons of it. The EU taught the major powers a lesson that decades of war couldn't. Germany is shitty at politics but great at war. France is great at politics but shitty at war. Russia is shitty at both. So the EU with France as its mouth piece and Germany as its bully boy, is the best either nation could have ever hoped for.

Enter Russia.

Russia has gas but no infrastructure to use/capitalize on it. Enter Germany. Germany signed a deal with Russia a while ago, infusing tech and hardware into Russia. Basically, most of Europe's heating/gas needs are supplied by Russian gas flowing through German pipes with French licensing. This is why pissed off Greece and Portugal bowed to EU pressure to clean their loan problems up. Cuz - duh - Germany will shut their gas off if they don't. So what we now have is three nations with more money and influence than they've ever had in their life. So the question is not "who" would win. The question is - who will the winner be allowed to be?

If you think Germany and France are going to sit by while we attack their golden goose, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
