"He doesn’t understand the people. He is a true Soviet KGB officer. A bit of an antisemite, a bit of a fascist. Not very intelligent. And he does not understand that people have rights. He is a president who simply doesn’t give a damn about his own citizens."

Nicht einmal vom Gas hat die "Gas Kathi" eine Ahnung! Es ist ausserdem so, dass (auch wenn insgesamt mehr Gas im Speicher wäre, als der Füllstand über den Winter sinkt) die maximale Entnahmeleistung stetig abnimmt wenn der Druck abfällt, insbesondere bei Porenspeichern (alten Öl-/ Gasfeldern).

4 years ago I read "A Small Corner of Hell - Dispatches from Chechnya" by Anna Politkovskaya, about Russia's brutal war in Chechnya. 20 years ago, on Oct 7, 2006 she was murdered, on Putin's birthday. She exposed Russian brutality decades before the Ukraine war. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

Schröder. Maaßen. Now Hanning. These aren’t isolated scandals. It’s systemic and ongoing for decades: the German government and security establishment are compromised. This case was discovered by accident. Anyone who thinks we’ve found the last breach is kidding themselves.

Plague is spread by a bacterium, not a virus (e.g. Ebola, Marburg), which means it's treatable with antibiotics. Mortality, when treated quickly such as in lab cases, is ~5%, or 10-15% in field infections. Untreated, mortality rises to 50-70% for bubonic plague, 95% for pneumonic plague.

While Ireland's share of wind power has doubled since 2015, its share of gas remained flat as total power use kept increasing: 88% of the growth in demand 2015-2024 was from data centers, which consumed 21% of all power in 2024. Ireland need more wind power and HVDC links to mainland Europe.

Italy consistently pays some of the highest spot market prices for power in Europe, Spain some of the lowest. IT 2025 -- from fossil: 51% / wind, solar: 25% ES 2025 -- from fossil: 25% / wind, solar: 42% In a nutshell: Gas is expensive while solar and wind are cheap. 1/2

Egypt consumes 174 TWh of electricity per year, 10 TWh of it from the Aswan High Dam. Covering 50% of its lake with floating PV would generate 468 TWh/a and reduce evaporation losses by 9 km3 per year, twice the volume of water that flows from the Nile into the sea. www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/15...

The "protected" Sudeten-Germans were drafted into the German army. Some 200,000 of them died in the invasions they were sent into. The Czech tanks the Germans seized when they occupied the country became the backbone of the Panzer divisions invading Poland and France. "Peace in our time!"

Xi is playing him like a fiddle: Trump lost the war against Iran. He's desperate for Xi offering him an escape, but that already didn't happen after he visited him in Beijing. Xi wants him to sell out Taiwan, which would be a disaster: CN taking Taiwan would be worse than Iranian control of Hormuz.

US imports >3x as much potash from Saskatchewan by value than Chinese potash imports from Belarus. If the US took over China's contracted share of Belarus potash while China imported from Canada instead, the US imports from Belarus would only substitute 30% of current US potash imports from Canada.
