When you blow up your nuclear power plants in a green energy fantasy, what could possibly go wrong?
Fusion power is only 20 years away, so just sit tight.
I thought Europe wanted to power everything with wind and solar anyway?
Trump is simply helping them achieve their goals!
and why aren’t these countries being attacked declaring war on Iran?
Iran uses the strait to support their fear card
That increases the global price for oil
Iran cannot have nukes
The status quo, “fear card”, is not acceptable

Had plenty of energy for "Wir schaffen das," and still do.
If...
The closing of the straight is a crisis for europe..
Then why doesn’t europe pony up their navy and re-open it?
....Germany remains under the sway of globalist ideologues and has already paid a trillion-euro price for undermining its own economic foundations in the name of green dogma.....
Mebe illegals, born and raised in a hot climate, will reject freezing in winter and go home....
What’s the hubbub, Bub? No worries...I’m sure Putin stands ready to.give aid and comfort to the Euphoric Union in any fossil fuel supply crisis it might incur.
Ooops...forgot the /s tag...
Thank God America is pumping oil at record levels.
Well, it seems that part of Germany has got it wrong both ways. It has emasculated its energy space in pursuit of a climate change fantasy. On the other side, the AFD is advancing policies that would sacrifice the physical security of Germany in pursuit of energy that the AFD believes would revive the economy.
It is the policy of the AFD, the political party most favored by Trump and one that duplicates every Trump policy, to end the war at any cost in order, even to reward Putin's aggression, to gain access to Russian oil and minerals.
It should be the policy goal of the United States to ostracize Russia from the body of civilized nations, make Russia a pariah in the economic sense, and keep it there unless and until Putin goes.
Europe has plenty of coal.
-—— economically, due to its flawed energy policies,——
the European economy might not be able to afford the military expense required to assure the continuing flow of existential oil
Who gives a damn about Russia. The EU is an even greater enemy to the U.S.
Two hyper corrupt oligarchs at war with each other does not stir my blood.
And given Russia’s absolute military ineptitude the only way they are a threat to the rest of Europe can only be because Europe has chosen to dismantle their militaries to provide cradle to grave entitlements to Muslim invaders.
In that scenario I am at a loss to see Russia as much of a boogeyman however otherwise deserving Putin and his orcs are of the appellation.
Europe and Russia deserve each other.
More accurate than most know. These latest actions are about more than Iran as we are beginning to see.
Nobody wants to admit it, but this isn’t going to work without a regime change in Iran.
