Look I wouldn't go as far back as Ribbentrop molotov or Gerhard Schroeder. Nor would i go as far back as inviting one million refugees in europe at a time the uk was voting in a referendum where immigration was a major concern, but i would go as far as into thinking that perhaps at a time when energy prices are skyrocketing in europe yet germany wants to ban nuclear, a time when ukraine is literally missing a chunk of its territory and russia wants more yet germany does nothing to step in while a high ranking german military commander sais we should show russian some respect…
I would dare say that german leadership is either dumb or playing into russias favour. Perhaps war reparations and a quieter Germany wouldn't be that bad? After all their cars pollute europe more than nuclear and are still in business. Just a thought.
Maybe the uk was right in leaving and perhaps a little bit of a restructuring of power in europe is overdue.
Yeah thanks to this logic and eu diktats we have less powerful lightbulbs accross europe. So turning the lights on at night means you can barely see, and instead you have to … uy more lightbulbs. The soviets also thought that the solution to its financial problems was to consume less.
So the answer is really to make energy more available, cheaper, and cleaner by mass investments in solar in the south, wind in the north, and clean and safe nuclear everywhere in between.
Just because one country, germany, doesnt mind spending nights in the dark or having workers sleep early to be able to slave away in factories it doesnt mean all of europe should obey. Build safe nuclear and build it fast before russia drains our pockets with their expensive gas.
More expensive power sources mean more reliance on russia for winter heating and more expensive development costs for developing eu countries. Now, I am not sire if by design, but Germany appears to either play cozy with Russia or simply want to slow down the development of europe under various excuses. Most recently it refused suppling aid to ukraine until international uproar now it want an eu wide ban on nuclear at a time when energy costs in europe are skyrocketing. Last financial crisis it pushed european countries into austerity measures that to this day resonate and reek of bad fate.
So un less europe tames germany rather quickly we will see a lost issues than the uk leaving an already german dominated block.
Just pay attention to whats happening coming from that country and you will understand there is something afoul at play.
