Germany screwed up. They closed nuclear power plants because of the disaster in Japan, coal fired power plants because of the climate, and now natural gas is scarce and very expensive. Their green plans don't meet demand, and short term that leads to very high prices.
Natural gas is now 10-15 times more expensive than it used to be. But recently, when I washed my hands after visiting as toilet at a gas station, the water was hot instead of cold. They're now limiting airco usage, but still waste energy elsewhere.
I have posted on this topic (nuclear energy) a lot of times. It is the cheapest and cleanest form of energy available. But for some unknown reason, the green party moonbats want to close down all the nuclear powerpants. I am glad that in my country we are actually trying to cut down on thermal power plants and at the same time trying to increase the share of nuclear energy. I believe that there is enough Uranium in this planet to keep the nuclear power plants running for another 1,000 years (230 years according to the NEA, but I believe that it is an underestimation). Uranium reserves are unevenly distributed across the planet and even more unevenly distributed across the planet are uranium enrichment capacities. Germany's refusal to develop nuclear energy looks less populist and frivolous when viewed from the aspect of dependence on enriched uranium imports. To reduce dependence on Russian gas in order to become dependent on Russian uranium is a dubious deal in the long run. Even the United States cannot now refuse Russian enriched uranium, so you will not find uranium and the state corporation Rosatom on the sanctions lists. |

...very briefly, one piece of news, easily verifiable: production, dada, not sale, namely gas PRODUCTION, in Russia has fallen by more than 25%. The process of conservation of wells has begun. These are billions of lost dollars. And it's still the EU has not abandoned oil and gas, from a terrorist country, even by 10%  Well, the "icing on the cake" - at the moment, Russia does not have the technology for the re-entry of previously mothballed wells. But even if someone suddenly shows pity and sells to them (and the probability of this is actually 0), this is a VERY expensive complex and time-consuming project! You can't get up in the morning and "get the plug out of the well", this is approximately commensurate with new drilling. By the way - drilling technologies to depths of 500-1000 meters in Russia ... also NO! Greatness in Russian it is!  Are you talking nonsense again? The decrease in gas production is not associated with the costly process of well conservation, because gas is not oil. You can easily screw on the valve and then just as easily unscrew it back. And the increase in gas prices due to its shortage in Europe more than compensated for the decline in production. Gazprom produces less, but earns more. |

Meanwhile, the allied troops of the LDNR and Russia seem to have changed tactics in the Donetsk direction and, instead of trying to surround Avdiivka, they are now storming it head-on. The tactic is strange and suicidal in the absence of numerical superiority on the attacking side, yet it is successful.
In the southern direction, the counterattack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Kherson is again postponed, so it looks like Russia will have to attack again.

Nancy should call Vinnie's bluff and just go. There's no way China would take any military action against the US, they're not suicidal.
Assholes like you start wars. |

It looks like the video with the castration of the prisoner turned out to be a Ukrainian fake. The video contains: a tactical polo shirt of the Ukrainian company M-TAC, a balaclava of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a Ukrainian pixel uniform (all of the above is on the regular list of equipment for SBU and GUR employees). Cherry on the cake - blue nitrile gloves from the first aid kit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and rare Nike sneakers released for the Ukrainian team in 2008. source |

The most promising future energy, cheap, abundant and that may eventually be easy to produce is hot fusion energy. https://www.iter.orgFor reference: the installation is based on the tokamak system developed by Soviet scientists (Toroidal Chamber with Magnetic Coils), developed in the 50s of the last century by academicians I.E. Tamm and A.D. Sakharov. Russia is the initiator of the ITER project. Russia has complete design documentation for the ITER reactor. Russia occupies one of the key positions in the implementation of the international ITER Project. It looks like your hatred of hydrocarbons is stronger than your Russophobia. |

After waiting for a long time for concrete and sufficient radical results from the leaders of Procecutor and Security Service department, President Volodymyrs Zelensky questions their leadership and has suspended the Procecutor General and Head of Security Service of the country accusing them of collaborating with Russia.
Can President Zelensky's accusations be true?
Did the president make the right decision?
I think the reason for the resignation of the Prosecutor General and the Head of the SBU was a productive missile strike in Vinnitsa on the house of officers, where a meeting of high-ranking military officers was held (at least three colonels of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed). Another "precision posting" by the usual trolls. Which colonels were killed.. in "your thinking"? Head of the Armament and Logistics Service of the Ukrainian Air Force, Colonel Oleg Makarchuk, Colonel of the Ukrainian Air Force Dmitry Burdiko and high-ranking officer of the Air Force Konstantin Puzyrenko. Given that Ukraine has long had big problems with regular officers, one can understand the sharp reaction of Zelensky, who fired a childhood friend from his position. So, if they are shown to be alive, that would be a wrong assessment? There does not seem to be any corroboration of any fact stated other that some obscure "sources", seems just like another rumour. Well, it looks like the rumors were confirmed and turned out to be true. Today, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky published another award decree, where among the 92 posthumously awarded are the dead colonels of the Ukrainian Air Force named Burdiko, Puzyrenko and Makarchuk, as well as a new colonel appears - Zagrevsky Sergey Alekseevich. The decree does not say where the deceased served, but users of the LostArmour resource found a document), according to which Zagrevsky Sergey Alekseevich underwent lustration in 2015 when he served in the military unit A0535 - the command post of the VVSU, Vinnytsia. |

This isn't going to affect the world economy because its already at its worst at the ground level since the implementation of so call lockdown and restricted borders for months which struck the everyone so badly. I am not really sure what are the future plans they had to do with the space things but other countries will work it out soon if even Russia really pulls them out of the international space program.
Russia will launch its own space station ROSS. The ISS is physically and morally obsolete and has exhausted its resource. |

Well played, your childish homemade meme will probably serve its purpose against your target audience. Nice to see you know who they are and how naive they are So you think that this is fake? Are you ready to bet on this assumption, like 0.01 btc? I'll found pro-russian news about this, from LDPR official channels and will take your money. If you're not ready - so shut the fuck up. Noone interested in your bs while you are not ready to bet on it The Liberal Democratic Party is an opposition political party in Russia, it's just that its activities are not prohibited, unlike the opposition parties in Ukraine. I'm not saying it's fake, but there is no hard evidence that it's not fake. In any case, your preoccupation with the castration of a pedophile is amusing. But the directed strike by HIMARS on the colony where Ukrainian prisoners were kept is not a fake. 40 dead, 140 wounded - a successful friendly fire, congratulations. Zelensky executioner, ready to fight to the last Ukrainian. |

People who know about economy and finances knows that 2022 is same like 1929 its funny.
I don't understand by 1929 you mean that and this also makes me very funny. It is obvious that the Great Depression, and some parallels can indeed be traced. But the world has changed a lot in the last hundred years and I would not directly call the current situation the Great Depression Two. |

U.S. government seems to want to change what "recession" means as if the economic numbers don't indicate dire consequences of post COVID fiscal policies. I'm looking for whatever excuse they can find to explain the numbers and don't find anything worthy of salvage. Hiring is slowing for the U.S. economy, wages are not growing, inflation is high. Perhaps the federal reserve is unwilling to recognize reality, or perhaps they are truly as incompetent as everyone thinks. Or perhaps they think ordinary people are idiots. There are many options and one does not exclude the other. |

I don't know about this one, Russia bashing feels so like the 60s and 70s with the cold war. In my opinion we need to engage with any country and instead of practicing isolation, we need to try and set good examples and work on connecting our countries. Russia is after USA the second largest nuclear power in the world. No one can afford a direct confrontation with Russia. We need talks and better agreements, not threats and isolation.
As you can see, no agreements are possible with Russia. Russia launched a large-scale war with Ukraine for the purpose of capture. And what should be the agreement with Russia? Is it really about formalizing for Russia its right to own Ukraine? Today, the fate of Europe is being decided in Ukraine, so all European countries are helping Ukraine in the war against fascist Russia, and only one agreement can be signed - the surrender of Russia, as it once happened with fascist Germany. Alik, come to the light side of the Force, we have vodka. |

If Russia eventually pulls out of the International Space Station, What would be the implications of this decision for the ISS's future and world economy?
It is high time to drown this rusty trough in the Pacific Ocean. |

The main problem is that the EU cannot accept the RF waging a war in Europe. To follow your metaphor, you can live a few weeks without food, a few days without water but only a few minutes without air.
In this case, air is the certainty that you countries will not get threatened and then invaded. Survival comes first, economy later. If the EU has to endure to exist, it will endure.
I appreciate your heroic pathos, but then why is NATO needed if it does not give Europe confidence in protecting itself from external threats and from invasion? And if the European Union is so worried about military actions near its borders, why does Europe supply weapons to Ukraine, thereby contributing to the prolongation of the conflict? I think you are being disingenuous. |

As far as I know, the practice of central heating is not very common in Europe, and each homeowner is forced to solve the issue of heating his home on his own. I hope the European Union will be able to avoid many unnecessary deaths from hypothermia this coming winter. I am Russian, but I would not approve of Putin if he allowed such a humanitarian catastrophe in Europe. No matter how aggressively European politicians behave towards Russia, ordinary Europeans do not deserve a rollback to the Middle Ages for the short-sighted decisions of their leaders.
Maybe the west of the EU is not so much oriented towards such a heating method, but the east is still oriented towards wood as a heating material. People in houses will always have more choice than those who live in apartment buildings, but I don't believe that anyone will freeze next winter because there won't be enough gas, they will simply have to lower the heating temperature by a few degrees. Your president is not too concerned about the humanitarian issues of the people in the EU because every day pictures of the mass graves that your soldiers left behind from various parts of Ukraine arrive. In a way, it would be logical for the EU to completely distance itself from trade with Russia, although this is very difficult at the moment. If the average Russian thinks that the EU will return to the Middle Ages because the Russians will close the valves on the gas pipelines, then they are badly mistaken. It is a difficult year in which we live, the one ahead will be even more difficult, but people will find a way to survive as always. OK. There is too much propaganda in the information field on both sides and it is pretty tiring. When I read in the German press calls from high-ranking politicians to wash less often in order to save hot water and take revenge on Putin, I don't know how seriously to take it. When I read in the European press that electricity and heating bills have increased several times, I do not know how true this is and, most importantly, how critical it is for the budget of ordinary Europeans. At my house, one cubic meter of gas costs 5.64 rubles (about 9 cents), when I see that in Europe the price of gas at the hub has exceeded 2.5 dollars per cubic meter, I understand that this is very expensive, but I don’t understand how dramatic this is for Europeans, because In different countries, different levels of wealth are considered the norm. |

Of course, Putin uses gas as a weapon.
I'm genuinely surprised you admit that. Be patient, it will get worse, much worse.
I know it will. I don't trust politicians, no matter what's their color. But I guess you also know/expect that it will be worse for both sides.You are right, but there is a nuance. I'll try to draw an analogy, imagine that Europe blocked Russia's water, and Russia, in response, blocked Europe's air. Man cannot live without air and man cannot live without water, but five minutes without water is easy to endure, and five minutes without air can be fatal. One minute has already passed. |
