#germany fearing about their #energy #security - many years too late: https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/germany.. #trump #warned them about this years ago!
#telegram now #leaking #information to the #authorities in #germany - so much for #encryption ! https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/15.. Good job I switched to #jabber and #xmpp for my more #secure #sensitive stuff!
#trump was right about #germany 's #dependency on #russian #oil https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/trump-w.. I also mentioned this on a #coffeespace #article a few months back: https://coffeespace.org.uk/blogs/trump-p.. It's not looking good at all, with very few #options now available to #germans .
Well damn, #germany just #seizedcontrol of #russia #gas #import and #storage #company #gazprom https://youtube.com/watch?v=YNgf7Nu7tsY The #hackernews #comments are quite interesting on this one, making the #claim that they purposefully ran #reserves as low as possible before the #invasion of #ukraine to #weaken #germanies #energy #security https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=309.. This is how a #worldwar starts!
It is no #exaggeration to say that #germany is currently #screwed https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/german.. They are looking at a 20-50% #food #price #increase *overnight!* #inflation is through the roof. It doesn't help that #news of #shortages has led to #panicbuying ...

Pretty out of touch! I'm sure *his* #heating will be on, thanks to the #german #taxpayer !
The #us got #coldfeet about helping #poland #send #mig #fighterjets to #ukraine via #germany https://www.zerohedge.com/political/awkw.. #vp #kamalaharris was tasked with "smoothing things", which you can bet she did a shit job of.
#us #president #trump #warning the #eu , specifically #germany about becoming too #energy #dependant on #russia back in 2018: https://youtu.be/KfVdIKaQzW8?t=1296 They #responded by #laughing at him. They're not laughing any more. Perhaps they should have paid more attention.
#germany is already starting to feel the #pinch of #increased #price for #heating as #shortages start due to #russian #sanctions https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/sh.. #oil #company #shell are now #limiting some #supplies ...
Oh would you look at that, #germany are bent over a barrel on #energy #dependency from #russia https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/energy-.. The #un , #nato , #us , everybody, were #warning them about this far in advance and they #ignored it. As if the #energy #crisis wasn't a clear warning sign...
Finally, #germany is now considering keeping their last three remaining #nuclear #reactors #active https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/.. It still doesn't help their #situation and #dependence on #russia - but it's a start.
Turns out that #germany ' #military has no #teeth , with their #stockpiles of #weapons being completely #outdated https://youtube.com/watch?v=LuuzmpB_TRw No wonder they are in a rush to send to #ukraine and #replenish their #spending . It sounds like #nato would have been really fucked if it ever needed #germany 's help. Bare in mind, #germany also #blocked #vital #weapons and #supplies just before the #invasion kicked off. They are really not looking good.
Oh would you look at that, #germany now thinks that having a #military is actually a good idea: https://www.dw.com/en/germany-commits-10.. #fingerscrossed they don't go all full-out #nazi again.
The #uk wants to kick #russia out of #swift , but #germany have said no: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/uk-pus.. Bare in mind that #germany also #blocked sending #defence #weapons to #ukraine ... #germany and the #eu have *a lot* to #answer for.
Looks like #france are now building #nuclear #reactors , at a time when #germany shuts theirs down: https://www.politico.eu/article/france-t.. So #germans will end up #buying their #excess #electric #energy #demands from the #french - and somehow they sleep better at night as a result of their #eu neighbours dealing with the #issue of #nuclear #waste .
