As if solar panels and wind turbines can heat all of Europe. I exchanged email with him a few months ago
I rather wear extra layer of clothing and keep the thermostat at 50 degrees than have no air condition in 88 degrees Fahrenheit and 65% relative humidity.
Another thing is to get everyone in the same room at night and use a very efficient oil-filled electric heater.
And open each faucet a little to allow a little drip if there are concerns about the pipes freezing. Flush the toilet before going to bed.
But I can see where this will be the most challenging in northern Sweden, etc.

If power runs out in Europe's cities
I've lived in northern Michigan (not far from Marinette, Wisconsin) during the winter. You run water like a drip rate on faucets helps a lot.

There are indoor propane heaters that are safe to use. I have this one. https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-Corporation-MH18B-Portable/dp/B07Q82MG8S/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=indoor%2Bpropane%2Bheater&qid=1663923955&sprefix=Indoor%2Bpro%2Caps%2C219&sr=8-6&th=1

I've railed against the Neocons of the United States for 20 years.
Cheney is gone, and so is Rumsfield and Wolfowitz. Who is left ? I don't think there are any stalwarts like McCain left.
Not even Lindsey Graham is that bad even though he said he wanted to see someone inside Russia to take out Putin.

His legacy is on the line. He's got to deliver a war prize to the Russian masses by showing victory and annexation of new Russian states that were part of Ukraine.

I think the Russians look stupid for not executing the Powell Doctrine of going in with overwhelming force and a clear exit strategy, or not at all.
There is "no exit".
Putin wants to permanently occupy Ukraine as in "Stalinize" it. Its not just about Russian troops killing and looting, taking back stolen refrigerators and other valuable possessions to their Siberian homes.
I think he over extended himself and turned away many Ukrainians who were at least luke-warm pro-Russia. Now he has to rule over them with an iron fist for anyone of those that still remain in eastern Ukraine that borders Russia.
Russians being Russians, they'll likely try to get Russian citizens to move into these new annexed states.

People still think that there is an "overwhelming force" hidden somewhere which hasn't been used yet? What was demonstsrated was it. They blew their load. If you hasn't achieved your objective with your most modern tanks, helicopters, missiles and professional troops, pulling T-62s out of storage and giving them to conscripts after 2 weeks of training won't do it either.
The sooner they wind this thing down the sooner the world can try to put this in the past and move on and get back to somewhat normal relations with Russia.

And exactly how do you run out of tanks in storage when you have more than 10,000??? That must be some pretty shitty storage procedures / lack of oversight / lack of spare parts.
I think the goal is to kill the maximum number of liberal Ukrainians.
Russia already doesn't have enough NCO's and officers. How are they going to manage another 300,000+ ???

let’s not pretend that Ukraine isn’t part of Russian territory
The only pretending is you disingenuously thinking that towns such as in central Ukraine like Uman want to be under the thumb of the Kremlin.
They feel as if they lost a piece of their country.
They are already at the point of sending people into combat without weapons and just asking them to pick up a rifle
Once Ukraine has F-16's and Abrams Tanks and more HIMARS (like 100), what do you think is going to happen? We are talking about early 2023 here.

Russia is famous for being a shitty place to live, and treating it's people and neighbors poorly. Then they wonder why everyone hates them, and even most Russians want to leave the country.
Putin rolled the dice and lost; he’s rolling again because he knows Russian history.
PeopleUnited says
The special operation is now into the next phase, referendums asking residents if they want to join the Russian Federation
And the moment these referendums pass, Putin will declare these parts to be Russian territory. That means any Uke Nazi troops in there will constitute an attack on Russia proper.
Pop goes the tac-nukes!
So as an American why should my government or countrymen have anything to do with this regional conflict?
