    I don’t know. I hope he’s fucking wrong. Or we’re gonna have to take a whole state, or take some of Canada and move them here. Germans are good people.

    Yes, well known for being good people historically.

    I mean, the left is cutting children's genetials off, right now. They made the kkk. They fought for slavery. Etc.

    I’m not going to judge the Germans on the holocaust. I think that was out of character, kind of.

      Most of our politicians are brainwashed by US propaganda ("think tanks") voluntarily.

      So this is absolutely no surprise considering the fact that his has been a reality here for over 20 years now.

      We are a vassal state of US.

      Nonsense. Merkel is good friends with Putin and thought that would be enough to prevent his crazy coming in her direction. And then she had an attack of the bleeding heart closed down all the nuke plants because some half wit environmentalist idiots told her it would save the planet.

      Nothing to do with America.

      I heard it was the Fukushima nuclear disaster that caused Germany to want to phase out nuclear energy.

      [–]bife_de_lomo 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

      Fukushima was caused by a tsunami, which they don't get in Europe. If that was her reasoning then it's still just as poor in my opinion.

      Well maintained nuclear facilities are very safe, it's probably the cleanup of the waste that is the biggest issue.

      [–]jet199 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      We do get Tsunamis every now and then in Europe.

      Lisbon was wiped out by one.

      But Germany has a tiny coast line.

      Merkel is gone a while now. In her last reign, she lost a lot of influence to politicians you most likely would call libtards.

      I'm a liberal myself, never assume.

      I just don't like bullshit.

      [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      My point being, she already lost a lot of influence in our parliament some years ago.

      It is quite obvious that obnoxious neoliberals leaning towards US rather than a real "German" or even "European" pov took over.

      I honestly even believe, she never was on good terms with Putin. It was more diplomacy. Keeping doors open and such.

      She never really protected German interests. That is why Nordstream 2 was basically dead before she even left office.

      But she forced her austerity onto most southern european states. Which kind of isolated Germany in EU parliament and destroyed our good terms with France somewhat.

          American media is not covering this. Trump called this situation back in 2018 and it's come to pass now, although at the time CNBC "fact checked" Trump and found him to be misleading. Except here we are and it's happening.

          "Germany’s fears that soaring power and gas prices could trigger a deeper crisis is starting to get real."

          What white supremacy? That's apparently just Biden Boogeyman Bullshit.

              Trump didn't commit treason as far as I'm aware, and he has a knack for being right. Even decisions Trump made that seemed dumb to me at the moment, like ditching the WHO, seem prescient in retrospect.

              Maybe he wasn't wrong about the election being stolen either.

              How will Germany cease to exist as a country?

              "You see where I'm getting a lot of great press because I told Germany don't make a deal with Russia on the pipeline, and they said, oh, that's so funny," Trump said. "I actually sent, during the meeting, G7, I sent Angela - Angela Merkel - a white flag of surrender. She said, 'Donald, Donald, but why do you send me this white flag?' I said, 'Angela. Because you're going to surrender. 75% of your energy is coming from Russia. If you look back over the decades, Russia and Germany haven't done too well together. When there's a war. when there's a problem, they'll just turn off Nord Stream 2, and Angela, you're not going to be able to defend yourselves.' 'Oh, that will never happen.' Well, that was about two years ago."

              These European countries are going to be very vulnerable; if they can't even heat their homes during the winter they sure as shit can't run their war machines.

              It's going to be a rough winter.

              Germany is a net power exporter, but those exports are about a quarter of what they generate from natural gas. And the renewables that make up about as much production as fossil fuels are predominantly solar and onshore wind. Which means that their pumped hydro storage will be strained.

              I don't get to how that wipes the biggest economy in Europe off the map though. And they are getting nowhere near 72% of their energy from Russia. It's been much closer to 0% since the shutting down of Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

              Germany is a net power exporter

              This Wikipedia article says they re-export natural gas, and sell electricity they produce to other countries, but they're heavily dependent on outside sources of coal, natural gas, and oil. "In 2021, Germany imported 63.7% of its energy."

              [–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

              Right. I could have been clearer. When I said "power", I meant electricity. "Energy" includes transportation and non-electricity industrial energy. And there's not a lot of oil wells in Germany.
