Yeah, I wouldn't trust that chart too much, unless I'm reading it wrong, somehow. To the best of my knowledge, 80% of Austria's natural gas comes from Russia.

Biden and NATO have already stated their intent to stay out of the war. A peacekeeping mission is not popular amongst either NATO or the polish citizenry. And such a mission would result in Russia striking polish soil, dragging everyone in anyways. That is not in Biden's best interests.

The problem was Germany didn't have to. They openly chose to retire their nuclear plants prematurely, and now apparently did so at the advice of Gazprom advisers and lobbying. That's the issue. And even ignoring the majority of their gas usage is for heating, ~15% of their electricity is gas generated.

It's a big reason they still maintain and fix it while in an active war with a nation making money off it. Blowing it up will 1) Piss off EU, 2) Screw them even more as they also need the gas. Mr. Smile Face Hat posted:It's the combination of being the leading power in the EU, policy choices over the last 30 years and sustained siding with Russia on everything that makes Germany so toxic.

About 10 years ago I got rid of my big ceramic fireplaces from my apartment because they took too much space. Everyone was saying "You should keep them, what if Russia turns of the gas?" jokingly of course, no-one really expected that I would need to carry firewood to the third floor in the center of Budapest. I'm starting to regret my decision.

Putin died of cardiac failure. Someone's spell got messed up.

His genetically important legacy lives on as he has sired multiple cubs, including one born in 2017 at the Minnesota Zoo." https://twitter.com/mnzoo/status/1507015906420948992?s=20&t=TXzd39v2TdBspawn8yqTGA

The rest of the EU can tell Latvia to shut the gently caress up or bail them out if their economy goes into recession. The EU can't tell Germany to just roll with it or bail them out. Russian gas directly powers the heart of the largest economy and it's paralyzing the entire union. That said I have no doubt some other countries are happy Germany volunteered to be the lightning rod here.

Everybody knows Italy is corrupt and they don't do much to hide it. The average Italian politician doesn't care about geopolitics as long as they get cheap gas and/or a cut of the profits. People expect better from Germany. They're meant to be competent. Germany was quite happy to claim US/UK intelligence were being alarmist and hysterical about predictions of a Russian invasion, right up until the night of the invasion. The head of German intelligence was literally *in* Kyiv when it happened, and was in shock and disbelief that missiles were landing near him. He had to be emergency evacuated out of the city. Germany seemed to have had their head so far up their own rear end with their Russian "economic dependency will ensure peace" policy that the majority of the establishment seem to have lost any grounding with reality.

Grouchio posted:Hold on a godamn second. Real life isn't a video game where everything happens automatically according to rules. If Poland attacked Russia and Russia fired back, it would be up to Poland if they wanted to ask NATO for help and then it would be up to NATO if they wanted to provide that help. If Russia just attacks Poland unprovoked, that's still true, but it's unlikely NATO would let that go because any sign that NATO wouldn't honor its defense commitments would basically destroy NATO. If Poland intervenes and then asks for help (which is unlikely to begin with) the rest of NATO would be much more likely to say no because that doesn't set the precedent NATO is useless, it just sets the precedent that NATO won't help a member in a war that they start.

cinci zoo sniper posted:Himalayan salt, etc Hmm quote:As nerve agents, the Novichok agents belong to the class of organophosphate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. These chemical compounds inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, preventing the normal breakdown of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine concentrations then increase at neuromuscular junctions to cause involuntary contraction of all skeletal muscles (cholinergic crisis). This then leads to respiratory and cardiac arrest (as the victim's heart and diaphragm muscles no longer function normally) and finally death from heart failure or suffocation as copious fluid secretions fill the victim's lungs.

I don't know why, but the Eurostat data this chart is based on appears to be incomplete. I've looked at the original data sources, and while the chart seems to accurately reflect them, there are a conspicuous number of 0 entries in the NRG_TI_GAS tables (imports of natural gas by partner country). Austrian media has been reporting for weeks now that we import 80% of our natural gas from Russia. I can't find any good sources with a precise number, but it certainly is (significantly) more than 0%.

Merkel I through IV has actively hindered efforts to decarbonise, and so has Kohl I through IV. The only governments that have done anything at all in that direction were Schröder I and II, ironically enough. Having the head of the party that governed for the last 16 years demand rapid action now is galling as gently caress. They were the ones who dismantled solar and wind companies, scrapped plans to insulate old building stock, hindered public transport wherever they could, and so on and so on. Calling the Greens enablers of Russia is extremely weird. They have been hawks on Russia for a long time. Baerbock was ripping into Laschet for his Putinverstehering during the debates before the election.

Antigravitas posted:Merkel I through IV has actively hindered efforts to decarbonise, and so has Kohl I through IV. You're reducing history to a timeframe that fits your narrative. In their earlier times, the Greens were aligned with the USSR-orchestrated peace movement that aimed only at reducing Western defense capabilities. I agree that they've changed in more recent times. The SPD has had decades of pro-USSR/Russia attitudes and policies. Here's a nice article that has some good examples and which you can probably read: https://www.zeit.de/2016/33/spd-reiseservice-russland-moskau/komplettansicht?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2F. Virtually no German party is innocent in this. Also, it's okay if an opposition party asks for policies that they themselves didn't pursue in office. All parties do this the world over, no need to get upset or call for someone to be killed over it.
