Our governments in Europe obey and capitalism does not care at all. We are the vasalls of USA. Biden was putting war over Europe by denying a clear position to stop expansion of NATO direction Ukraine.
Everywhere in the world US creates conflicts to stabilize their own power.
It seems to get worse over time. -

Is that the case?
Can the german government simply ask Deutsche Bahn for all correspondance with Turkish Rail and then get that? No questions asked. No addresses redacted? -

Supposed they ask Deutsche Bahn, do you think they will also find heath or legal documents or emails about topics completely unrelated to travel in the correspondence? Like sexual preferences, applications, you name it... -

Like sexual preferences, applications, you name it..."Think" does not cut it in something this serious, and in this case you're wrong - there are strict limits to what the German government can ask for, and the most prevalent limit is "relevance".
The government can ask for communication relevant to a specific case or suspicion of wrongdoing, but the can NOT ask for "all communication between company A and company B" - that would be a fishing expedition, and that is illegal.
