Ukraine Crisis

Has Germany done the unthinkable. My grandad told me to never trust a German.

Of course you should never treat those now for past progressions by their forefathers, maybe Germany is returning to type.

Oddly I have a different view on gas. As this scenario drags on Russia's European customers have and are feverishly finding alternative sources.
And in the long term it's now clear Russia has proved they are prepared to us energy as weapon so everyone else is redoubling their efforts for energy independence or at least energy sharing with trusted partners. Gas is a dead duck 20 years from nw. But I guess Putin doesn't care about that 'cos he'll be gone.

This war has actually speeded up research into energy solutions. I follow energy news quite closely and now believe most of Europe will move totally towards renewables and Nuclear Fission Reactors within 20 years.

Whilst we all pray for a fully functioning Nuclear Fusion Reactor, a novel concept for nuclear fission is to place the reactors a mile down in 30 inch bore holes, a lot cheaper than building a surface reactor such as Sizewell C.

The UK and I include Europe can no longer be reliant on other countries for energy, food or trade because of nutters running other states.

Every cloud has a silver lining eh? Takes a war for politicians to take notice.
But yeah fusion is the holy grail. I won't see it but I hope it saves future generations.

So true, it takes a war for politicians to take notice.

I doubt if they would have gone to the moon in 1969 if it were not for WW1 and WW2. It is ironic that progress speeds up on the shoulders of poor dead soldiers, left rotting on a battle field.

There have been so many killed in this war and in 50 years time it will be mostly forgotten. It is so sad someone can gain enough power to just start a conflict like this and millions die. It hits home with me when I listen to the song "Where have all the flowers gone", written by Pete Seeger, it was based on the lyrics of a Ukrainian folk song.

What's disturbing for me is how far West Kremlin propaganda has reached

Some are so anti-establishment that every enemy of the state is automatically their best friend

I'd like to think that surely nobody outside North Korea actually believes that Kim Jong Un is a divine being, but I'd probably be wrong!

A valued colleague of mine once sidled up to me in a difficult period and whispered "Keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer".

The good news is you wont suffer as it will be on Russia's list and your be gone in < 1 second.

Only joking, don't panic, there is an unknown USA / NATO air defence base very close to you which is not the RAF base. Its very high tec. If someone launches anything around the world then its tracked with eventual target identified within seconds. Once established, a whole host of counter measures are taken to stop it.

But if you manage to find the base, don't go walking upto it and try to gain access. It's USA property, the personnel there would be exempt from prosecution. You get my drift!!!!

Stay safe.

... remember we couldn't defeat a few goat-herders in Afghanistan.

Nor could Russia!

You're talking absolute crap Frogmella. MSM didn't tell us the election was too close to call. It just reported what the polls reported. And even the polls don't pretend to tell us what's going to happen. They're just reporting the results of their survey, which any intelligent person knows can be skewed by various factors. It's your interpretation of the news on MSM that's wrong.

I watch MSM all the time and I've never heard them say wearing a mask will save you from Covid. It reduces the probability of you spreading it, possibly by a few percent. Again, you're hearing what you want to hear, not what's said. You just need to pay a bit more attention and apply some intelligence to what you hear.

Vaccines are safe and effective. Don't know what makes you think otherwise.

Well said Derek, it's my kind of language ... read what was said.

[firlandsfarm]

You need to stop all getting your information from the mainstream media.

Where do you get your news from then Frogmella?

It was one of the best bits of comical journalism ever!

So far that is only a unilateral decision by the US so nothing too much to worry about yet

Speculation in German media that Chancellor Olaf Sholz called Putin to discuss ways of re-establishing energy supply contracts with Moscow.

If true, dirty fcuking German c??ts.

Lets wait and see what happens in Germany, Sholz government has collapsed and he is clutching at straws, he will almost definitely face a confidence vote, which he is sure to lose by the end of the year. He no longer has a majority in the German parliament.
