I hope they get rid of the clown.

Did you forget one coalition partner?

#33It's nice to see Germany start working towards energy independence. I think it's a crucial factor for both national security and a faster migration to more environmentally friendly energy sources.
10 years too late... It's going to be Eldorado for US companies buying bankrupting German companies for cheap...
Angela Merkel is squarely to blame here. She was warned about he dangers for the 16 years she was chancellor of Germany, and instead of diversifying, doubled down on Russian oil and gas, and ordered the closure of the remaining nuclear plants. So be it. The people voted for her, and apparently Germans in general are rather anti-nuclear.

#34This doesn't make sense to me. Can i get an explanation? The German state seized a local German branch of the Russian Gazprom company. In order to secure its energy supplies... which come from Russia. Are they in essence capturing some reserves?
That company owned pipelines and storage tanks within Germany, thus controls the flow of gas after reaching Germany.

Not sure "they" refers to "McDonald's" or whether it refers to some country and the "clown" leading the government.
In case it refers to McDonald's: They already did. https://www.mashed.com/202684/the-real-reason-mcdonalds-got-...

The sending of troops to Kosovo was done in accordance with UNSCR 1244.

Is there some memory loss at work here? Because when Russia marched straight into Crimea and started this war eight years ago I distinctly remember Merkel being in office. We even rewarded Putin with NS II for it.

I'm just wondering, what specific escalation policies are you talking about?

Yeah, they got top minds on this. Top. Minds.
Nuclear canceled by the Green Party and pre-March went all in on Russian oil and gas.
Re: Germany has seized control of Gazprom Germania
#40How many years has Merkel remained in power? This awkward situation is all her doing, but still nobody will mention her name. How can one country willingly put its entire energy sector in the hands of a terrorist state, which has been showing signs since 1999 when bombing its own citizens.
