@JB_Hattersheim @max_jahns @NinaDSchick @gepardtatze Once the Iran War wraps up,Europe should not be surprised if the US doesn’t get involved in another war for a very long time.
We only have 3 other nations we would consider adversaries - Russia, China and North Korea - and all three have nukes and are boxed in geographically.

@JB_Hattersheim @max_jahns @NinaDSchick @gepardtatze The US wants a strong Europe because a stronger Europe is good for the US too.

As a German from the Rheinland this is devastating.
The ‘Wirtschaftswunder’ that lead to Germany’s phoenix-like ascendancy after WWII, to become one of the world’s richest countries was based on its industrial and manufacturing output…and yes, energy. It was that very ‘coal and steel’ that literally led to the foundation of the European Union.
Tragedy that a ‘country of engineers’ sacrificed its energy independence (nuclear) at precisely the moment it matters the most.
Decarbonisation pursued without industrial strategy is Sovereign suicide. Countries like Germany and Britain are going to learn the harsh reality of that lesson over, and over again, in the AI era.

Good Morning from Germany, a country whose influence on the world stage is fading. Its share of global GDP is expected to fall to 4% by 2030.

@Arturmaks lol ok

My advice: The current narrative that Gulf countries are not aligned with the United States is simply false. Governments, especially in Europe, that adopt reflexively anti-Trump positions and assume the Gulf does not view the IRGC as a threat will find themselves isolated from both Washington and Gulf capitals, with long-term consequences including reduced access to Gulf capital and weaker leverage in energy negotiations.

The delusion of American exceptionalism is coming home to roost. It’s not Europe that will feel the unfortunate consequences - it’s the USA.
You’ll be isolated. Poorer. Less secure.
Well done on the biggest own-goal in history.
Ted Cruz@tedcruz
The unfortunate consequences for Europe of the last month will reverberate for decades.

@Arturmaks @JeffBursey @acoyne Again, stop obsessing over a joke from over a year ago and focus instead on your own domestic concerns.
English
@Arturmaks @umeshgeeta You guys are still obsessing over a joke from over a year ago. Focus on your own issues please.
English
@umeshgeeta If your country would leave ours alone and stop threatening it, would be happy to.

@JB_Hattersheim @max_jahns @NinaDSchick @gepardtatze True, which is the math I was referencing above, but Germany shutting down its own nuclear industry accelerated the trend, and there was no need for Merkel or other German politicians to do that.

@nothanksbot9 @max_jahns @NinaDSchick @gepardtatze If you take a look at the above graph and parallel into a history book, you will realize that the decline began years before the phase-out of NPPs was even negotiated.

@ReckonerTh41839 @NinaDSchick Perhaps semi related question. What is going on at Volkswagen? You sell a lot of cars in the US and German engineering is considered amongst the best,but Volkswagen standards seem to be completely collapsing, at least in the states. Not hearing or seeing this with BMW or Mercedes

@Susia_Fella @NinaDSchick @gepardtatze If you genuinely believe that you’re going to solve your problems with renewable energy alone, then you are screwed.
English
@NinaDSchick @gepardtatze Nuclear energies made us dependent on Russia. They provided the material.
Independence for Germany means renewable energies, the only energies we do have here.
English
@max_jahns @NinaDSchick @gepardtatze It’s both.
Yes you are correct that mathematically China and India will eat into each other country’s share of the total GDP pie, but neither China nor India nor the US told Germany to close down its entire nuclear industry. German politicians did that.
English
@NinaDSchick @gepardtatze Germanys share of GDP will fall as long as other countries like India and china grow, because the population won’t grow anymore.
It’s simple math and has nothing to do with +-30GW nuclear power

@ThePujaTeli @LovesDogsandUSA @AriFleischer @avatans @gerardtbaker Europe’s influence on the world at large is fading, but Europeans still see themselves at the center of it. The contrast becomes more vast and obvious with each passing year.

@nothanksbot9 @LovesDogsandUSA @AriFleischer @avatans @gerardtbaker Well now you have the Board of Peace it can handle all the wars you start and can’t finish.
English
The casuistry here is remarkable. This is the simple reality: Like most Americans, most Europeans think this war is a bad idea.Their governments are being asked to take a huge risk by a man who has proved unreliable, volatile and intemperate over and over. Who would do that?
Ari Fleischer@AriFleischer
When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@LovesDogsandUSA @AriFleischer @avatans @gerardtbaker Sorry yes I meant France in that case, didn’t notice the typo.
English
@nothanksbot9 @AriFleischer @avatans @gerardtbaker Sorry. You asked where Russia was going to get its energy. Did you mean France is what my question meant.
English
@LovesDogsandUSA @AriFleischer @avatans @gerardtbaker Yes UAE and Israel have already started boycotting French defense. Other Gulf nations will likely be following. The Arab League is incredibly pissed off at France right now.
