Well, they were too stupid to realize that the United States is their enemy. They were too dumb to realize that the US is run by a mafia.

We need a better relationship with Russia and an Anglo Alliance, and fence in China and Europe.

This works great when you don't have to run air conditioners or need a natural gas furnace to provide the BTU's to keep your home warm such as in northern Germany.

This is not true - this is a lie because you cannot run the electrical grid on solar and wind - the grid needs a very steady voltage - something the solar and wind cannot provide.
"...I suspect it was really hydro carrying the main load with some inputs from wind and solar."
Residents in the Moscow region have expressed their outrage after the heating in their homes stopped working amid sub-zero temperatures as their top official reportedly took more than a week to speak publicly about the incident.
At least 21,000 residents of around 180 high-rise buildings in the city of Podolsk, around 30 miles south of central Moscow, were left freezing after the power was knocked out in their homes when a heating main burst at the Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant on Thursday January 4, Russian media reported.
There's an increasing number of shocking images from towns around Moscow appearing on social media due to this crisis. Freezing water in stairwells, cracked radiators, and iced-over walls and windowsills inside apartments serve as visual proof of the combined effects of a heating network failure and severe frost.
Moscow is freezing: Most in the suburb of Klimovsk (population ~60,000) still have no heat because the only boiler house failed. This is happening all over the Moscow suburbs.
"""While Putin spends billions of rubles on missiles to attack Ukraine, people freeze in their own homes in regions of Russia that are supposedly 'rising from its knees'"
USSR is now directing ~40% of government spendinng on their "little victorious war".

"This is a big nothing burger. AG is out of season in Germany and farmers have free time to bitch. Probably warranted, but this will influence absolutely nothing"
These PATNET Russia specialist predictions have eerily similar success rates to Branch covidian prediction successes about vaccinations.
Relatives of a 60-year-old Russian Navy officer say that the serviceman was found frozen to death in his home near St. Petersburg due to power outages in the area.
The family members of the deceased officer, Vladislva Shevashkevich, told the Russian network 78.ru that his body was found by his brother-in-law in his home near Vyborg in the Leningrad region on January 3. Vyborg is located roughly 76 miles northwest of St. Petersburg, near the Finnish border.
According to the report, power interruptions began in the Vyborg district on December 29. At the time, energy companies had told residents that there was no electricity.
Shevashkevich's brother-in-law told 78.ru that the family had last heard from him on January 1. Two days later, alongside a district police officer, relatives went to Shevashkevich's home and broke down the front door, where he was found deceased.

Germany has moved closer to rationing gas as it raised the alert level under an emergency plan after Russia slashed supplies to the country.
“Gas is now a scarce commodity in Germany,” economy minister Robert Habeck told reporters at a press conference on Thursday.
Triggering the second “alarm” level under its action plan brings Germany a step closer to the third and final stage that could see gas rationing in Europe’s top economy.
The development reflected a “significant deterioration of the gas supply situation”, Habeck said.
Germany, like several other European countries, is highly reliant on Russian energy imports to meet its needs.
Russian energy giant Gazprom last week reduced supplies to Germany via the Nord Stream pipeline by 60 percent due to what the company said was a delayed repair. But Germany has brushed aside the technical justification for the move, instead calling it a “political decision”.
Russia was using gas “as a weapon” against Germany in retaliation for the West’s support for Ukraine following Moscow’s invasion, Habeck said, with the aim of “destroying” European unity.
Al Jazeera’s Dominic Kane, reporting from Berlin, said the implications for the government’s decision will vary between household consumers and industry.
“For those residential homeowners, for people living in rented accommodation it does not mean that their gas supply is threatened right now,” Kane said.
“For those consumers in industries it is more serious because the government here is saying ‘We believe that a time is coming where we will have to potentially ration gas supply’ and bear in mind that during summer in Europe, residential gas users are not going to be heating their houses much, but the industrial sector will use and is using a large amount of gas the entire year round,” he added.
