When this pain comes to America, and it will, please blame the Neocons who cheered on Biden and Zelensky as they waged war.

Once the EU collapses, we will be shortly behind, prepare for it.

Remember when the Germans laughed at DJT when he spoke about natural gas there a few years ago. Now that their economy is collapsing are they still laughing?

Stupid krauts. Should serve as a warning to the rest of the West, but sadly, they are run by idiots who voted for idiots to destroy their nations as well.

Someone I know who is from Europe just returned from over there. She said there is a feeling of dread and panic she’s never seen.

Mind you she is from Eastern Europe and she said it is getting worse than communist times.

Germans have an “interesting” history reacting to high inflation.

Turnip Winter is coming again for Germany and most Eurotrash.
[Germany, winter 1916/17] The British naval blockade caused great suffering in Germany. This winter, the need was dramatic. A rainy autumn had caused a potato slight and only half of the harvest could be saved,

Moreover, there was far too little coal. Thus, the households had no coal to heat, and the railroad no coal to operate the locomotives. This made it difficult to transport the few potatoes from the farmers to the consumers. Moreover, parts of the already small harvest got rotten during transportation.

As a substitute, turnips were distributed. Although many people ate them in the morning, at noon and in the evening, they did not get enough calories and thus strength for the heavy work that had to be done every day. Moreover, this winter was freezing cold, for weeks the temperatures were far below zero. Public soup kitchens were the last resort from starvation, even if the food was not good.

Loved the Tucker segment last night with the German U.N. delegation laughing at Trump’s speech when he said relying on Russian energy would end badly.

I don’t think it’ll hit us the same as it does europe. We are far more energy independent. Even with Democrats in charge.
