【US media: Germany's economy has been completely weakened】
On December 2, 2025, Berlin time, the US magazine "The National Interest" wrote in an article:
The once strongest economy, Germany, has been completely weakened. Not only because of the consequences of sanctions against Russia, but also because of the explosion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. This pipeline used to supply natural gas to Europe, and it passed through Germany, which boosted Germany's industrial strength.
Germany's economy is currently in a recession. The GDP of Europe's largest economy fell by 0.2% for the second consecutive year in 2024. And this two-year decline is the first time since 2002-2003.
