That's true, it was a cynical move by Angela Merkel at the time to exploit anti-nuclear sentiment in the wake of the Fukushima disaster and poach a significant number of votes from the Greens. And it worked...
I’ll wear a jumper in winter to beat fascism
Remember that time when all economies completely shut down and people and businesses were supported?
we’ll take a wild guess what will happen (is already happening)
It wasn't mindlessly following the Green Agenda, it was pure money grabbing capitalism taking the cheapest source and paying lip service to environmentalism to try win a few votes. If the Green Agenda was actually being followed and Europe invested more in renewables we wouldn't be half as vulnerable now.
Well If Germany can magic up what 70bn out of a bag. Our lads better be doing that to and not making up Horse S*it excusses.
You're just making up the same lie, over and over again.
I am not pro-Russia, I am the complete opposite.
All of Europes storages are 90% full allready in most places.

Yakutia's about as far away from Ukraine as you can get in Russia - are they implying this was sabotage? I'd say some official stealing the maintenance budget might be the more likely root cause.
Rising gas prices already occuring in 2021 ..... nothing to do with the russians
It's only NordStream1, gas is still flowing via other pipelines, so it would be pretty impossible to get the likes of Hungary on board with sanctioning the rest of the Russian banks for fear of their gas being switched off.
As for seizing Russian assets, I'm not sure there legal means within the EU, however I'm sure the likes of Gazprom could be sued for breach of contract and any payment could be paid via banks etc...
The EU really needs to decouple Gas from the electricity market.
One of the best explanations I've heard:
The 2021 rise wasn't but the stratospheric rise at the end of that graph was.
I don't see any Ukrainian badges or identification. A lot of stuff is posted pretending Russians are Ukrainians and vice versa.
65 billion AFAIK that is about 850 euro/ head of population. The Irish budget this year will be higher than that per Capita.
The German support repeated in Ireland is equivalent to 4.5 billion approx
I was looking at Russian losses well into the war and TB2 did not kill any tanks. Mostly anti aircraft, IFVs etc. I think they now have different ammunition. (Quadcopters did kill tanks with anti tank grenades dropped on them)
In fairness, Russian tanks and IFVs don't need bridges, if the river has suitable banks. The bridges are, of course, indispensable for fuel and ammo trucks, though.
I was wondering about that myself. Googling it it seems that the average depth of the Dniepr is 8m - which would clearly be far too high. There are historically low river levels all over Europe right now though but it'd probably need to be under 2m. The fact that I haven't heard of it as an option up until now makes me think that it's not low enough.
Damage at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as result of new shelling
True but your assuming they replace the rubber seals and alike to snorkel with tanks. We seen they have been using rubber instead of steal on the explosive reactive armour some of them have on.
Nah guy with a sledgehammer more like it. Paper thin roof yet no blast damage from inside setting fire to said roof.
No sane person could support ending the sanctions, Russians undoubtedly behind them. I think they want to move the needle to a situation where it becomes acceptable in the west to say the sanctions should end.
Of course they can't end, unless there is a Russian withdrawal, they have murdered thousands of innocent people, stolen children and raped women. There may be a political backlash against politicians unfortunate to be in power from frustrated electorates, but the voters aren't going to be crazy enough to support going back to Russia.
Link to the last post where you showed exclusively Ukrainian forces triumphing over Russian soldiers. I only remember you posting Russian victories - plenty. Mad coincidence?
That depends offcourse what kind of payload they are carrying
There are 2 types of laserguided bombs and missiles MAM and UMTAS
Maybe they didnt have the UMTAS untill now,but i am sure i have seen footage of bayraktars destroying tanks in Ukraine in the beginning of the invasion.
Why didn't the Russians try this approach with the initial failed crossing of the Siverskyi Donets back in May?

Literally just posted something today about Ukraine having air superiority over a part of Kherson.
Thats true,but certain condition have to be met
The river depth at the crossing site cannot exceed five meters. The river bottom has to be suitable (sand, pebbles) so the tank will not get stuck; the river cannot be more than a kilometer in width; and the current has to be two meters/second or less.
For an amphibious IFV or APC i guess only the current to be a problem
Hard to say,i know Russian railways are struggling with spareparts,so it could be anything i guess.
The good thing is that the deliveries are arriving late for the frontline
😄👌🏼
Yeah it's mad. I remember going to school with no heating on in winter wore coats in class I'm still alive.
