Makes me wonder what will happen ahead of the midterms. /shiny side out
More gun incidents. Can’t take over with all those guns!
More “white supremacy.” Have to agitate the base.
More abortion turmoil.
With the seizing of ships I’m expecting more from Iran, too
“Meaningless and/or deliberately misleading statement, conflating/linking “economy” with “exports” with “which requires Russian gas.””
Thank you for the grammar correction.
My point was, if Russian gas isn’t being used, Germany is not producing sufficient electricity to run the companies who produce the exports they sell to the rest of the world. (Thank God it’s not winter, or people would be dying from the cold.) The follow-on effects will be catastrophic, and those effects could cause the government to fall. A replacement government, mindful of what happened to the previous government, is likely to bend a knee to Putin. This is one problem with the type of government where the politicians are subject to what essentially amounts to popularity. (Called “approval” here.)
In their effort to go “green” Germany has shut down several coal plants and nuclear facilities in the belief they can go solar and use wind power. I haven’t seen anything on whether they are reversing any of that. No discussion whatsoever, really. Odd, that. Their reliance on power generated by nasty non-green tech in neighboring countries has caused a net increase in pollution.
I agree. Turkey/Iran flaring up. Domestic violence in countries as they attempt to enslave them with the vaxx passports, steady move toward WWIII - as I posted on FR on day 1.
Heading that way 😔😔😔

Yes, Germany is woefully dependent upon natural gas imported from Russia.
According to the German tv station "ARD" in a report from March 30, 2022:
According to the German Federal Ministry of the Economy, 90% of the natural gas used in Germany is imported - including 55% from Russia. (27% comes from Norway, and 21% comes from the Netherlands.)
In response, Germany is now undertaking high-speed efforts (with sped-up approval processes) to compensate in a variety of ways.
Countermeasures include the construction of several new LNG terminals (the first such terminal was begun in May of 2022, and should be operating by the onset of winter of 2022; until now, there have been no such LNG terminals; rather, LNG was imported by truck).
However, Norway and the Netherlands have indicated that they are not prepared to increase their exports of LNG to Germany. Thus, the additionally needed LNG will have to come from other source countries.
With regards to LNG, the situation could indeed become dire for Germany next winter, if it is a severe winter.
My prediction is that - at least with respect to the production of electricity (89 TWh per year of which comes from natural gas) - Germany will be forced to ramp up the production of electricity from its other major sources.
At present:
108 TWh per year are derived from brown coal;
54 TWh per year from hard coal; and
69 TWh per year from nuclear power.
This in spite of the fact that, previously, the govt. had been committed to reducing the country's reliance upon these "dirty" energy sources.

The cracks are opening in the western political arena.
After the Ukrainians got up and told the western leaders “F#CK YOU” and called them “DUMB F#CKERS” when they suggested that Ukrainian might want to consider cease fire talks and maybe cede areas to the Russians, it didnt go over to well.
I see a coup happening in the Ukraine. By the lead Ukrainian general.
Zlenesky gets assassinated by the radicals around him. They will view him as worth more dead than alive.
Am in contact with a person in Poland. He states that the initial word was that the Russians emptied out some of the prisons and put them on the front lines. They issued pardons.
I dunno. The Russians did it before so...
BTW, have you seen whats going on in Pakistan?

*** On 23 April 2022, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense reported a strike on a Russian 49th Combined Arms Army command post in Kherson Oblast, killing two generals and critically injuring one.
**** Colonel Yuri Medvedev [Commander 37th Motor Rifle Brigade] One of the officers from the brigade’s tank battalions blamed Medvedev for the deaths of his friends and co-workers: two of the brigade’s battalion tactical groups, totaling around 1,500 men had lost “about 50% of their personnel,” and “many soldiers were injured in various degrees of gravity.”
In protest, one of the officers ran over Medvedev with a tank during a “convenient moment” amid the fighting and injured both of the brigade commander’s legs. The injured brigade commander is currently in a hospital in Belarus

“BTW, have you seen whats going on in Pakistan?”
Yes. Terrifying. Several years ago, the Pakistani army started massive raids throughout the country and attacked terrorists they’d previously left along. The Indian press reported a source in Indian intelligence who said it was extremely likely they’d lost one or more nuclear weapons and were attempting to recover them. If Pakistan falls apart, the fallout (literally) could be global. (Ultimately, the safety and security of nuclear weapons fall on a sergeant someplace. He can be bribed, or he might simply be one with “the faith.)
Sri Lanka, while pursuing some green goal, eliminated their use of fertilizers and their present crop yields have fallen precipitously just as the country has fallen into chaos. Their currency is useless, and they have no foreign reserves. This because they were dependent on Russia and Ukraine for food and fertilizer. I hope India steps in and simply takes over, but I have no idea what the politics of that would entail. If they don’t, perhaps China will have a new unsinkable aircraft carrier at the foot of India.
Due to monumental mishandling, Turkey is also on the edge of total collapse. We’re probably talking about a complete breakdown. Of course, they’ve done what every dictatorship has done, gone to war to take everyone’s minds off the chaos.
I don’t know if this report is true or no.
If this were happening to OUR armed forces under Biden, would it be a bad thing? I think the higher in the command structure one goes, the more looney they are. Their lives are worth a lot to those who love them, but to the Nation they swore to serve? less. I am thinking of the entirety of the Executive Branch, JCOS, FBI and CIA, could do better with different blood. When whomever decides to “clean house” in our country, don’t forget the traitors in the medical, educationial and of course the 5th branch.
In short..we have complete chaos in a region where the majority of the worlds population lives.
And an IDIOT as POTUS.
What an opportune time for Red China to make its move.
Millions crossing our southern border and we have no idea who the hell they are...
You can no doubt figure out the rest of the scenario I am thinking of.
Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh!
Hey MucasMaximum , is this the same BS that u posted already?
.
Another bad day for Z.(aka Ukranian Anthony Weiner)
Here’s update from Military Summary Channel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIBShMMoXIU
life is short for field grade officers doing the jobs of 2LTs and NCOs.
Russia has done quite poorly.
I hope they continue to suffer huge losses.
Good post.
Marcus do you know how many times some Russian officers have been killed
That Chechen warlord he sent in to make sure DRP allowed your neonazi pards had safe passage has been killed three times so far
Most of the fighting. Is being done in the east by the DRP with Russian support
I don’t believe one thing ....well maybe two or three from your sources
You do realize they simply publish Ukrainian govt releases
Very few globalist inc media anywhere near fighting
Sipping latte in Kiev or Poland at hotels on their macs
It’s all propaganda and 90% completely engineered garbage
A blot on daily mail who often has courage to publish race stories our media is unwilling to
