That’s actually a sound engineering practice - like in programming, where your code should fail hard and fast. If you allow implicit poo poo or side effects, you get the American regime change work.

Not Estonian, but a few weeks ago the insider had an article that Russia already engineered a refugee crisis in Finland back in 2015 to force them to be nice and renew relations after Crimea. Guessing that Estonia sees it as a possibility and a security risk? https://theins.ru/news/246418 Поток беженцев прекратился только после того, как в Россию прибыл президент Финляндии, который попросил российские власти взять границу под контроль. Кризис был решен за 48 часов, и для этого было достаточно одного звонка Владимира Путина, рассказал Мантила. По информации британского издания Times, тогда же Финляндия согласилась прекратить замораживание двусторонних отношений с Россией, введенное после аннексии Крыма.

Judging by the incursion of tourists and pensioners with automatic weapons, tanks and air defense artillery in various neighbouring countries, building fences on the Russian border doesn't seem to be the worst option for them

EU leaders calling each other discussing Russia. NATO says a conflict in Ukraine will "cost" the Russians. What the gently caress dies that mean? Like what the gently caress does costing Russia meanyou NATO brained fucks. This is just further evidence that they will literally ignore Russia walking over Ukraine. It's honestly infuriating that strong words will be what the US and Europe say when the Russians are putting s400s on the dniper.

I dont think there will be a war in Ukraine this coming winter simply because the outcome is too unpredictable. Without outright war mobilization, for which it is too late, it should be happening right now, Russia might actually lose this war and Putin never bets on anything that isnt a sure thing. Е: EU of course wont do anything whatsoever and whine a lot, US will help at least a little bit but Erdogan might see this as an opportunity to get himself out of his own troubles and get involved to some extent Sekenr fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Nov 28, 2021 |

cinci zoo sniper posted:Can any of the 1 Estonian itt tell me why you guys are building fence on Russian border? Is this an attention thing? It's not a fence, it's just barbed wire to hinder unwanted border crossings. There was a call-up of reserve troops to get it done. In case Russia tries something with migrants we might have to start manning the border more thoroughly and that would be quite a strain. Although we're less of a target for migration because it's difficult to cross the sea. There could still be involuntary border crossings. However, we've had plans to reinforce the border in reaction to a police agent's kidnapping in 2016ish. But no money has been found for it. A few hundred million euros at least. That would look something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOIiby0BOYg

OSINT researchers reporting that Russia is pulling troops from Siberia to the western border. Joint exercises declared with Belarus Getting hot here. Not to start Clancy chat, but with the gas supplies that Europe gets from Azerbaijan, Algeria, Norway and LPG deliveries + current stockpiles what would be the napkin math of how much that would cover if Russian gas is totally cut off?

If Russian gas gets totally cut off, so all 4 pipelines deactivated and NS2 never activated, we’d be short roughly 35% of supply. Southern/Balkan countries would get serious problems, rest of us would probably get by with occasional interruptions, but a meaningful price hike. It’s exceedingly unlikely that we would see it happen, however, since Americans want to sell their poo poo to us, and Turkey would start peeing oil if they lose their pipeline transit. Untethering EU energy system from Russian economy would be an impossibly idiotic move.

They couldn't, but Greens being stuck in 80s has nothing to do with that. The plants have been properly decommissioned, so they have just 6 remaining - many of them not really in the condition to operate for much longer, with planned shutdown for all by the end of next year.

Why would Jeremy Corbyn do this  Seriously, what is up with weirdos blaming policy on a party that has only been in government once 16 years ago as a minority partner? Germany's current energy policy is shaped by CDU/CSU, and has been for decades. Remember how Germany had a competitive wind and solar industry once? That was something the Greens actually did. That entire industry was destroyed by subsequent conservative governments.

As much as goons love to blame the nefarious and ill defined cabal of the "greens" for not supporting their pet policy and being stuck in the past, it is they who are stuck trying to resurrect something that hasn't been a viable public policy for decades and is getting less relevant by the day

Surely it couldn’t be that GRÜNE was founded as anti-nuclear energy party, with their ecological wisdom “pillar”. Neither could it be that the party has constantly organised protests, lobbied, and otherwise influenced the public sentiment for the 3 decades between its inception and the Fukushima disaster - which is the first instance of Merkel and CDU/CSU meaningfully changing their positions on nuclear energy - and continues to do so. Nor could it be that German greens (the people, not the formal party) hammering away at it for 50 years, basically, could have possibly influenced the public sentiment and government policy in a healthy democracy - opposition cannot have any meaningful achievements in those, right? It’s truly an inscrutable mystery for the ages, let’s better focus on the dictator Merkel and her famous political leadership style of uncompromisingly bulldozing the opposition.
