Thankfully the fact checkers were there to save us. "Germany only imports a fraction of it's energy from Russia" with the smug faces, silly music and everything.

What I remember is that fact checkers mostly focusing on Trump’s frequent conflation of natural gas and all energy. He would often, either carelessly or deliberately misleadingly, say things like “60% of Germany’s energy comes from Russia” when it was actually 60% of Germany’s natural gas, and natural gas accounts for only around 20% of Germany’s total energy. That seems like a reasonable distinction for fact-checkers to highlight.

Oh then it isn't a big deal then. Nothing for Germans to worry about.
But it's already a big deal just with the true parts. No need to resort to false parts to make it sound like a big deal.
Almost correct. Things to worry, but not the end of the world neither.

As an perceived autist due to my nationality, it is hard to catch sarcasm without the /s at the end.
Seriously, since when is it ok to insult people, in your case autists and Germans, on HN?
