Nice! Very subtle pun mastery.

And still, NO ONE talks about the loss of wind energy as a climate altering factor. It has always struck me as a MONUMENTALLY STUPID OMISSION!!!

Hopefully this will escalate to a Thermonuclear Exchange in a day or two.

All of the unelected EU tyrants should now address......Wind Equity. The uneven distribution of wind across Europe, and indeed, even the globe, needs to immediately be addressed. Not even the Ukraine is more urgent.

In fact, there is the Juno Space Probe that has been orbiting Jupiter. Jupiter has a huuuuge, unequal wind distribution. So much more wind than Saturn, and yes, Uranus.

Until Jupiter’s excess wind can be bottled up and “shared” with the EU, all other projects must be placed on hold.

There is one EU project that will continue. Inviting islamofascistnazis into the EU will continue apace.

So, in other words, the Belgians broke wind on the Dutch.

the lower pressure behind the sailboat effect is only measurable a short distance behind the sailboat. In the right position behind the sailboat an increase in wind pressure occurs. Like drafting behind a semi or trying to pass a truck slows that truck down.

So the Dutch are accusing the Belgians of breaking wind?

Sailing in the lee of another sailboat is undeniably disadvantageous.
Taking advantage of wind from behind is not an automatic advantage and is not a recommended tactic. Check with idjit Dennis Conner.
