May be a bit extreme comment but not completely nonsensical. It is raising somewhat valid point.

Currently Russian regime is not that much different from NK regime. Both are under sanctions. In fact, Russia is more dangerous than NK in current situation. Germany needs fuel and it is essentially financing Russia. The only difference between NK and Russia is that nobody is dependent on NK for anything.

This guy helped NK and went to jail. Germany giving money to Russia (for fuel), it's all ok.
