����The war in Ukraine has turned Europe’s most powerful countries against each other like hardly ever before.

There is a lot of friction between France and Germany at the moment. Germany stands accused of behaving in an un-European manner with its large national energy subsidy packages for citizens and industry, its continued unilateral deal-making with China, and its insufficient financial and material support for Ukraine. It’s so bad that a joint parliamentary meeting was canceled in October.However, that in the EU there are almost always problems between France and Germany. And solving them often has priority over solving other countries’ problems.

A large part of the current Franco-German friction is therefore unsurprising. But there is a deeper malaise, too, between the two countries—more worrying because it may be more difficult to solve.

This report is factual because German Chancellor visited Chinese president on 4 November.

Germany depends on the oil from Russia and they have more vibrant industries than other European countries. Even at the hight of the Russia/Ukraine War, they have continued to buy oil from Russia.

If this current war creates conflict between France and Germany, then ww3 may happen because there's still restrictions from USA on Germany.
