I was about to post something similar nice catch Russia is great at BS like really great a British researcher who has an AI setup scanning popular social media outlets like Twitter, Instagram, facebook and I think telegram she has detected 37 million fake posts on the social media sites a month a freaking month.

This is just twitter it must costs a fortune keeping the fake news flowing.

"
From Russian "bots" to charges of fake news, headlines are awash in stories about dubious information going viral. You might think that bots—automated systems that can share information online—are to blame. But a new study shows that people are the prime culprits when it comes to the propagation of misinformation through social networks. And they're good at it, too: Tweets containing falsehoods reach 1500 people on Twitter six times faster than truthful tweets, the research reveals.

Russia doesn’t need Europe anymore, they diversified their gas and oil sales thus they’re doing the gas squeeze in Europe now.

Russia has more than enough technology to continue producing missiles and armored vehicles. Given the fact that they have artillery and shells for decades, they can certainly do what they’ve been doing for years.

That's completely untrue. Russia needs Europe to buy its oil and gas far more than Europe is dependent on Russia's products - especially in the longer term: the Western Siberian gas fields have no pipelines going East and thus the gas cannot be sold to China or India - and to make matters worse, China and India pay much less than the Europeans and are, reasonably, much more leery about becoming dependent on Russian resources than Europe has been. Germany is an exception - for now - but there is a reason Russia has not completely cut gas deliveries: they don't want to cut themselves out of a market, they can't really afford to lose.

Europe is in a much bigger trouble without Russian resources. And I’m talking about real Europe like Germany, France, not irrelevant countries like Baltics. It’s not possible for Germans to fully replace Russian resources especially for good prices that Russians were offering. Surely, Russia will be selling less, but with prices going up 500%, it will certainly create enough profit

Yes, but the difference is that Europe can trade with anyone they want to, even if the situation takes years to unfuck itself. Next wave of gas imports for Southern and Western Europe will be the US and N-Africa, any option to stop using Russian resources will be used perhaps.
The decision-making in EU is still too chicken shit, but it's turning now that the masks are off.
 
Sh*t. Yeah, I had the file open in my browser window and forgot it was a pdf I had downloaded, not an internet address. Oh well.

Given your avatar and apparent predilection for Lars von Trier films, that's the sort of thing I'd expect to find on YOUR harddrive, actually.

However looks that local russian oligarchs hestitated to invest.
And 2022 th chinesse investors decided to re locate possible ~ 3,5 bn USD investments to.....projects in China.
This is more lucrative for them cos they already are under China and....for them more stabile thing then is to invest in...China...
At least without risk to get Navalny, Morozov and Patrushev etc or....Medvedev on their necks...
These all btw sadly are even more dangerous than Putin....
 
Germany does have very special situation in europe and sadly looks that is living just on former strong fundament's remainings...

They aren't usable for NATO if there will be big shit...
Because they are doing everything very slowly...Sorry for reality....Germany is more easier to deNazify than even poor Ukraine with their ukr political and financial mesh and mainly old weapons manufactured before 1992 th...

Decisions in energy field too were notorious....

1. Good thing: developed biogas and other renewables projects....
2. Bad thing: " coal is bad " mantra...
Germany doesn't use their potential, pretty opposite....
3. Bad thing: " nukes are bad, let's close good power plants ".
Real mantra: " Gazprom " natural gas is good.
Trademerk: Gerhard!

Then Angela with generous benefits...and basically the same mantra with NG....

I agree that they need to continue develop renewables usage and they need NG for chemistry industry....

While NG usage for electricity production had increased both: natural gas and electricity prices for businesses and ppl...
Even before 2022 th and seriously...
+ NG usage for heating too should be reduced as much as it is possible....cos this too increase NG prices...

BTW they does have good work in fields like heat pumps, energo effective buildings, renovations, biogas, wind, solar stuff etc...

While how much electricity and other stuff they might had get even just from pro anglo saxonian oriented Estonia ....if they instead of oppressing them in all possible ways...just had removed emission quotas from them...

+ bit** on Estonia too looks funny.
They does have brains like approx ppl in U.K...not worse.
Soviet union had used as part of metallic uranium manufactured in Estonia...for their plutonium program under Stalin. Not relevant country...
Yeah...before good mines had been discovered in Russia...they had used as feedstock uranium from East Germany, Chech republic and Estonia....
