Germany is in the American sphere of influence and has opted to sacrifice much of its economy for US interests against Russia.

Y'all are pretty puppety when push comes to shove.

Sacrifice "much" of its economy? Isn't that a little exaggerated?

No it's going pretty badly. The energy price spike took out a ton of industry that is very unlikely to come back. If the current state of things is maintained it will just be a large loss. If similar shocks hit a few more times they'd be looking at deindustrialization.

Which tons of industry have been took out? The energy spike is over. I think all energy costs are now higher than the day before the invasion.
