Thoughts? How does this relate to US military hegemony? Will Germany just act as America's lapdog like Britain, or do they represent a kind of turning point for the distribution of power globally?

    EU is America's lap dog and it's gonna get nastier and more blatant now that Germany relies on the US for fuel, and there will likely be pressure for Europe to get out of Belt and Road as well. Mayo morons going down with the ship.

      The US leadership might have preferred the Ukraine to be their puppet but the current war is not the worst thing to happen for them as it has created a Russian bogeyman that will scare European satellites tightly into the US sphere of influence. As the cherry on the top this makes Europe more dependent on American LNG and European satellite states will be lining up to spend like drunk sailors at the US military industrial complex.
