Don't worry, the coal will save us and keep powering the emerging electric cars. :/ But for what it's worth nuclear is on the table again, even with the green party participating in government. Problem is, how long does it take for Germany to build a new NPP? We need to talk about reactivating, or this is gonna take decades. I'm aware that Uranium isn't free and have the opinion, that the true costs of nuclear power are distorted. It's still pretty appealing considering the alternatives. | ||

Yea the sanctions weren't a big deal when he thought they were going to be finished with Ukraine in a couple of days and that Germany would never participate. Now he's realizing that the sanctions are going to be a HUGE problem, because Ukraine is not going to just roll over and let the Russians through. He's looking at a long and grueling quagmire as a worst case scenario and with the sanctions being intensified by almost the entire world there's no way he can afford that and he knows it. So he's doing what Putin does. He's doubling down on the aggression because what else is he supposed to do? Relent? He can't do that because then his entire image of being this strong unbeatable nationalist gets thrown on its ass. | ||

If gas was used for heating here it would be in remote heating of water or burning it up for electricity. You can switch to electric heating, either per building or per area. | ||

Is the reaction we're seeing today to remove everything Russian similar to what happened then? There were some demonstrations here at least. But the USA is our (EUs) close political partner while Russia has been our geopolitical enemy for the last 80 years give or take, so naturally media reporting as well as political sanctions are gonna be way more drastic. To boot Iraq is quite a bit away, while Ukraine is on our doorstep. | ||

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin stated that if Ukraine "continues to behave like this," it will "endanger the future of its statehood." "the current government in Kyiv has to realise that if they continue to behave like this, they will endanger the future of Ukraine’s statehood. And if this happens it will be entirely their responsibility." LOL. "Stop resisting my attempt to conquer your country or I will conquer your country!" This dude is backed into such a corner he doesn't even make sense anymore. What does this threat even mean? That after he's finished conquering them he's not going to let them become a state? They don't want to be annexed or conquered at all you buffoon! That's why they're resisting you and welcoming foreign aid to do so. User was warned for this post. | ||

I like how some UK general has called him 'cornered rat'. You should all watch Navalny's video (EN subtitles are available), it's really insightful of how mad this person is. | ||
