Electricity prices in Germany would have been around 25% lower, and the country would have imported half as much electricity.."

"This war will be a success if Iran’s missile system is destroyed, its nuclear program is terminated, its support for uprisings and terror throughout the Middle East is brought to an end, and the harsh, illiberal, autocratic regime gradually crumbles."

Delighted the Australian government is supporting the American attack on Iran’s terrible regime. I’m proud my country at last is one of the first to oppose nuclear proliferation and support the people of Iran.

I struggle to find words strong enough to convey the utter contempt I feel for the person who perpetrated this disgraceful act of vandalism — and for anyone who condones it.
