" Trump's advisers would try forcing Moscow and Kyiv into negotiations with carrots and sticks, including halting military aid to Kyiv unless it agrees to talk but boosting assistance if Russian President Vladimir Putin refuses. "

And NATO off the table? Don't you mean Western Europe? As f.ex EU? A geopolitical play between one of the instigators of this East European war and Russia, ignoring what it built up.


USA have it easy, don't they?

Just change the president and black becomes white.

Funny, but we're a funny species

In the mean time it has bled both Russia and Ukraine, built up a lasting hate between them, not that it needed that much after Stalin. If you look at it geopolitically that is.

[yor_on]

So, wanna try another proxy?

Yes?   

"France is by far the largest electricity exporter in Europe, accounting for roughly 60% of net electricity exports so far in 2024, according to energy data service energy-charts.info."

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/frances-political-woes-may-trigger-fresh-europe-energy-crisis-maguire-2024-12-05/

"So far in 2024, France's wholesale power prices have averaged around 25% less than those of Germany and The Netherlands, and 45% less than Italy's, according to LSEG."

Starkly differing it from Sweden, becoming the next largest electricity exporter. " According to a new report by the European energy analysis firm Montel EnAppSys, France was "comfortably" the biggest net exporter of energy in Europe throughout 2023, with its export totals being 48.7 TWh more than its import totals. In second place in Europe was Sweden, with 28.6 TWh more in exports than imports. "

We're very 'solidary' with the EU and those 'market prices' here in Sweden, much more so than France. Apparently populated with citizens of a never ending wealth.

And that fossil free future

[yor_on]

Makes me wonder?

What happened to this?

[yor_on]

This maybe?

"21 oil and gas companies have carbon bomb development pipelines"

Including Equinor, and Norway

Eh, no. Not really, Germany has coal

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/germany-approves-bringing-coal-fired-power-plants-back-online-this-winter-2023-10-04/


but what about sanctions, USA?

And EU?

btw.                 This is bs

"in the longer term, faced with Chinese dumping and US protectionism, Europe will have to protect domestic energy manufacturers or grid operators after having long neglected them."

No, we sold them out. to private interests, and our governments set a goal of them generating profits. By all ways possible. Like with water, healthcare and hospitals.

The American model

What I mean though, but can't seem to find an article about for the moment, is what those sanctions will do to those visionary plans of a fossil free future, for EU, Germany and the rest of the Western world.

I can tell you one thing. Whatever it is it won't be good.

[yor_on]

Well, not really 'we'. Just those idiots we lift up to decide for us.

Governments

[yor_on]

Joining NATO, eavesdropping telephones, all of it without a referendum, also wanting to put soldiers as some new 'police force'.


Calling it democracy, and just to name one country.     Sweden

[yor_on]

It all fits of course. It's my worst case scenario getting done. Makes me wonder what intelligence is, and what you use it for.

[yor_on]

Remember this?

" But when Simpson was working on a report for NOAA in 2020 about climate change in the southwestern United States, she realized that the atmosphere there had been drying much more than would be expected based on climate model simulations."

More moisture / humidity in the atmosphere, but .....

Which leads us to

and not only about more electrical grids, green power plants, increased electricity consumption's etc but further more

Our game of inequality under pressure.

[yor_on]

And a oscillating earth, going through a phase change

[yor_on]

And we're failing under it. We're doing our worst, not our best

[yor_on]

Our new savior.

'Natural' gas, and LNG

"A $200bn wave of new gas projects could lead to a "climate bomb" equivalent to releasing the annual emissions of all the world's operating coal power plants, according to a report."

But it's about geopolitics, dominance, GDP's, profits and wars. Where some us will get their bank accounts well filled by it.

So it's a win win situation for our idiots. Global warming and profits.
