199,983 companies went bankrupt in Europe because of the energy crisis in 2022

And because this topic will be instantly raised, the authors will be smeared with the truth, and there will always be a cliché of "liars" on them.

This is only what your government wants you to think, which U.S. mainstream media isn't controlled by either the Democrats or the Republicans in one way or the other? ya, they would reveal some part of the truth against one another just for political gains, but most often they are on the same line. How did George W. Bush manage to lie to every American that Iraq had  'weapons of mass destruction', his government managed to lie to everyone in the U.S, killed a dozen hundred thousand of innocent civilians and nobody confronted him when he was in power, ya Trump now uses that mistake against the Democrats to have some political gains, but it's only because it's now over.

It's funny that you think only your nations are built on a sea of truth while all other nations like Russia and China are built on an ocean of lies and dictatorship, alas, this confirms the theory that you have been lied to forever, your government has brainwashed you so perfectly that you are not willing to even reconsider the possibility that EVERYTHING you think you know is absolute garbage.

The same thing applies to the Russians and every other nation, the majority of people are brainwashed, what the Russians think of Americans or what the Americans think of the Chinese, it's all programmed in people's heads, only those who strive to seek the truth will find out that nearly every bit of information they had about other countries was wrong.

I was pleased with living in different countries, visiting so many places, and meeting people from all kinds of cultures and religions, it's how I came to understand that everything my government fed me was done to paint a perfect picture of them, and how everything they do -- is to protect our nation from all the bad enemies, only to realize that the real enemy is my government, not a country that is thousands of miles away from me.

It's pretty harsh on both the brain and soul to admit that you have been brainwashed, when you start diving into the truth, it will start hurting your feelings, which is why most people prefer to ignore anything that goes against what they think they know, it's a lot softer on the brain to keep existing lies than to bring on a new truth.

So, here we have already suffered completely to the side. But not a problem
So. Let me ask 2 questions, and you answer them?

1. The title of the article, and the post of the author of the topic itself - is it TRUE or FALSE?

2. Regarding other countries and media. Let's post here links to real media, where there is a total, systemic lie. We provide a link, for example, to an official channel, a speech by statesmen, and show that this is a lie. And complete and deliberate. A sign of this will be the existence of facts and reality that refute their claims. It's simple

At the same time, one additional point is a consequence of this lie. After the state lies were aired, were there later investigations, confessions of "mistakes"? This indicator will indicate that the information field is not monopolized by the state, and there is an opportunity for independent media to reveal the truth?

Or is it not interesting to discuss?

PS By the way, I never stated anywhere that "It's funny that you think only your nations are built on a sea of truth", I have a lot of complaints about the current government in my country. Now there are a lot of lies, a lot of manipulation, and for me a lie in my country is the same lie as in another country. I have no "preferences", no double standards. A lie is a lie, no matter where and who says it.

Regarding the information field of Russia - see the sentence above, this is easily proven. I watch information programs and speeches by politicians and public figures. Believe me - I have something to show you

If we talk about China, then the situation there is somewhat different. These are attempts to minimize the independent media, to introduce state control over the media and even big business, as well as the creation of a total information field loyal to the government. China more "hides information" and "doses" it than openly and systematically lies.

PS. I was also lucky enough to visit a large number of countries and continents (except Australia), and I, a resident of the former USSR, saw that the world is actually completely different, and not the one that I was formed in childhood through the totalitarian media.

Europe brought this crisis on to themselves with their stupid policies. Nuclear energy is the cheapest and most environmentally friendly form of energy and for the last 1-2 decades the European governments have been trying to close down nuclear powerplants and replace them with energy from more polluting sources such as lignite and coal fired powerplants. And the joke is that Green Party is spearheading this campaign. The propaganda against nuclear energy has resulted in increased prices of electricity, closure of industries and more importantly, massive pollution to the environment.

The fact that in Europe, and above all in Germany, they began to abandon nuclear power plants is not such a stupid policy. The world is already entering a period of dramatic climate change across the planet. This process will be accompanied by strong cataclysms, such as volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods. It is still fresh in our memory how an eruption in the ocean led to the disaster at the Fokushima-1 nuclear power plant in Japan. The countries of Europe logically do not want a repetition of this on their territory. Therefore, there is accelerating the program for the introduction of alternative energy sources such as solar panels and wind generators, as well as other types of "green" energy are being developed. Most likely, the future belongs to them.

I think it is not going to really matter at this point, that is why I feel like it's not going to be a lot better if we just do something totally changing it all together, not just piece by piece. I do not know how that could be done, I have no idea if the tech is there, but if we keep waiting for nations to stop polluting the world and go towards clean energy, then we are going to end up with a world we can't live on, it is just not going to happen.

So start working on a solution that will make it better instantly, put research money, all these renewable energy money, all into instant result tech development, otherwise the other way around will not really make anything change anytime soon, it's just not going to be something we can live with.

It seems that the supporters of the "Russian world", as expected, once again, screwed up ... And now they will sit quietly, inventing an excuse for their next "failure"
Pro-Russian heralds, an appeal to you - understand a simple FACT: here you are not your usual, primitive, public from Russia, which believes in any fairy tale, and even more so patriotic!
Here are people with intellect, and the ability to check any information ... Perhaps these are complex sentences for you ...
I will simplify, for you, out of habit: there are no FOOLS here This is not your usual audience for such fairy tales

Every administration's got its playbook, cooking up public opinion like a chef in a Michelin-starred kitchen. It's an uproarious chess match - pawns, knights, bishops, they're all tales spun for some political points. In this information epoch, it's like we've hit the jackpot yet we're still scratching our heads - truth or propaganda? It's like hunting for the elusive Holy Grail. Take the Iraq War, folks, a prime case of government tales running the show. They conjured up a Weapons of Mass Destruction tale faster than Houdini's rabbit trick - only to find out it's as hollow as a pumpkin!

East versus West, North versus South, it's all about perspective. One man's trash is another man's treasure, right? Half-empty, half-full - it's all in the eyes of the beholder. Want the real deal on a country, its culture, its people? Go live it. It's like taking a bite of a strange dish - reading the recipe won't cut it. You gotta taste the spices, chew on the textures, get a feel for the ingredients. Living the culture - that's the ticket!
