We dont have Uranium to feed nuclear plants

There is plenty of nuclear fuel called "atomic waste" in Germany. I can not be used in light water reactors, but it can be used in fast burner reactors. Whereas fast burners consume plutonium and higher transuranites and also can "refuel" light water reactors with uran. And the "waste" of the light water reactors then is again used in fast burner reactors. Its called "closed fuel cicle", whereas its not fully closed. But there is enough "atomic waste" to secure energy for more then one decade. All it needs is to build some fast burner reactors and some more light water reactors.

russia is too poor to afford proxy war with world's most richest and powerful countries

realty sucks but that's the truth



share source then

Wrong proxy warfare traditionally belonged to economically weaker countries

Not only that, you also need to brainwash them to think their enemies as non-humans. It is much easier to kill an animal than to kill a human. That is where Nazism and terrorism are close to each other. For Nazis, the racial purity and superiority are paramount. To think your own race to be supreme, you need to think everyone else, particularly your enemy, is below you. For terrorism, using Islamic terrorism as an example, you must think your enemy not fellow muslims. They are infidels and brutes. Nazism is like state terrorism.

Yes you are right. This is a big, big problem within Muslim societies.

Islam does not give anyone the right to decide if someone else is a true believer. That is for God to decide. Christian society, at least in the US and Western Europe, has progressed beyond this obsession.

The true meaning of 'jihad' is to introspect one's own life and find where one falls short of Islamic ideals. Unfortunately, some power hungry mullahs (religious leaders) turned this concept inside out to brainwash their disciples into attacking others as 'not true Muslims'.

This poisonous exploitation of Islam started with Muslims themselves, power hungry leaders using religion, and others (not just the West) used the technique that Muslims were already using upon each other.

It seems so for current state of affairs but you can always decrease goals and work on elimination of contemporay society isssues such are education, economy, commitment to developement. In that sense i am moderate optimist and for rest we can only hope to the best.

We can try but the world today is a very interconnected place. The West will never allow anyone else to rise and challenge its domination. It will play as dirty as it needs to, including nuclear war. This is not specific to the West, Anyone on top would do the same.

The current Western tantrum against China is just the latest example. China can resist Western sabotage only because it is not a democracy, which the West excels at infiltrating and exploiting, and the Chinese leadership exerts an iron fist to keep Western conspiracies at bay. Also Chinese culture has always been very hard working (except the opium era) and the ordinary Chinese people have worked very hard to take China to new heights.

Muslim society, alas, is not hard working except in rare cases. So many people, distressingly large numbers of young people, put their faith in religious prophecies instead of science and technology. This is a big cultural challenge we have to overcome if we want any hope of competing in the modern world as players instead of powerless spectators.

In a lot of the videos showing Ukrainian forces hitting Russian tanks, there's no immediate response from the Russians, no reaction, no evasive maneuverers, no attempt to locate and attack the Ukrainians. It's almost as if the Russians are asleep, or the tanks have been abandoned anyway due to prior battle damage.

The world turns to green energy: wind, solar, hydrogen, bio gas, ocean wave, earth heat.
The more expensive the fossil fuels the quicker the green energy comes.

Depends tho, the fact that the government might be quick to push for more green energy sources, does not mean the average citizen are able to. To give some example, lets take heating. Around 1/3 of all houses in Germany are "Altbau", the other 1/3 were built during post war period. Only 1/3 of them are made according to the EneV. This means only 1/3 of all houses in Germany can be equipped with heating system that relies on green energy like Wärmepumpe, PV, and Pelletheizung because you need a building that is well insulated and equipped with surface heating. The government might give 30-45% subsidy for the new heating system and 20% for improving the insulation, but for 2/3 of home owners, this could mean at least EUR 40k investment after subsidy. Not everyone has that kind of money, especially with inflation and rising interest rate we are seeing today. Electricity price is also on the rise, if it passes 50ct/kwh, it would basically make Wärmepumpe more expensive than gas since it requires more energy to burn in order to achieve the same heat performance as gas heating.

The government has to basically spend money not only to make the energy sources green, but also to make the people want to adopt the green energy. The big question is, does Germany have that money?

The tanks are roughly 2km away.

Well to be honest, Afghan refugees' track records are not that shiny in Germany. They are making it easy for the host country to turn them away.

they had a chance 2 nights ago to shot down israel airplanes but guess what nothing happened and will not, russsians are firm israel ally with some disturbances among them but nothing that could disrupt deep rooted relations with settlers, bonds are to strong.

OK. Yiu are entitled to your opinion. Even though I consider it to be wrong and old
