  1. People in Germany thought it was a good idea to build nuclear plants, then other people decided to destroy them for political reasons. Tsunamis are rare in Germany. Political mistakes occur more often.

  2. Cluster munitions on civilian targets is as cowardly as it gets.

  3. Illegal migration leads to tragedies. People put down roots that get yanked out. The solution: Don't allow them to take a path toward pain.

  4. Um, aren't there Russian pipelines still running through Ukrainian-held territory? Why would three men in a boat go after one so far away?

  5. Makes sense. That was how the Sudetenland was giving away and the justification to invade Donetsk to "rescue" the Russian speakers.

  6. That stubborn band of holdouts is going to spoil the May 9 victory celebration! How rude and selfish.

  7. 21:02 A good question and a good answer. Companies that stay in Russia are damaging themselves and their employees' possibilities for advancement. This guy sees things that companies don't. Very smart. Forgive me for multiple comments.

  8. 4:33 Always appreciate the insight of Ben Hodges.

  9. But it was politically expedient. The rationale, concern about tsunamis, was absurd. Power infrastructure, which takes years to build, is too important to be subject to political whims.

  10.  @JohnCSmith-lp1qr  Please define "lots." America spends $850 billion a year on defense of freedom.
    26
  11.  @throughput6674  And I'm sure you ignore books.
    22
  12. Ukraine may want to re-think its interest in joining the EU.

  13. Bravo to the Siemens Company. This story brings up a very important factor, the secondary or tertiary taint from trading with Russia. I'm American, we are very good at buying stuff, and we are quite angry at Russia.

  14.  @trishawilson1436  Good for you. Americans don't. We also write "tire" not "tyre." Are you OK with that? Because we manufacture more tires.

  15. The whole thing is sad and there's one a hole who can end it.
    21
  16. Counting on the Ruzzian humanitarian instinct could be like asking a rabid dog not to bite.

  17. What an honor to have English spoken by Ukrainians to us.

  18. DW has some of the finest news coverage on the war.
    16
  19. Politics is driven by feelings. The laws of the Universe don't care about feelings. Faith-based energy is wasteful and cruel.

  20. DW is a fine channel and this interview is excellent. I appreciate so much DW. ❤

  21. This drama should be called "Suddenly Donald." He thought he had a lead pipe cinch deal and got turned down. Now Zelensky is a dictator?

  22.  @meh23p  Well, if it takes years, time to get started.

  23. He's a natural. I like him and I like how many books he has behind him. He's not a phony. I also like that he wears a tie. Does that make me superficial? I think it's the mark of a professional to know how to tie a tie. It's a little thing but I give it weight. He is smart in any case, whether he decides to wear a T-shirt or not. But he looks good in a shirt and tie. I love this guy.

  24. Ukrainian troops have been quite good humored during the rape, torture, and murder. This is their spirit of resistance. Do not confuse it with lack of suffering.
    13
  25. You make many assumptions based on car registrations.
    11
  26.  @Aisenheim  Pure nonsense. Spent nuclear fuel does not contaminate a reactor and, yes, we have found multiple ways to "deal with" nuclear waste. The main baggage is unreasoning fear of nuclear power, the only real way to replace fossil fuels.
    11
  27. They wash?
    11
  28. I admire those who speak English when it is not their native language. English is actually quite ridiculous, even for us Americans.

  29. The conflict will be "prolonged" until Ruzzians leave Ukrainian soil. It's very good soil. Fertile, with gas underneath, as you know.

  30. "It's looks like you're hurt buddy. How much money do you have?"

  31.  duncansmith7562  You're going to have to take a long walk to meet anyone "untainted by russophobia."

  32.  @danielarcadia7243  Weak defense of the Putinist Horror Show.

  33. Campaign donations gain a lot of looking the other way.

  34.  @joemendyk9994  Fair. "Put on your mask before putting on your child's mask." But the guy who stayed followed his gut.

  35. Ben Hodges maintains a high level of situational awareness.

  36.  @AJNpa80  Good call. When a people are free, they sometimes make poor decisions. Not like in China. Where they all have to make the same poor decision.
    8
  37. I read it and it's ridiculous. Gives aid and comfort to the Putin Horror Show.

  38. It deserves a strong pushback. It's like blaming a rape victim for gouging out the rapist's eye with a high heel. Yes, that's a mean thing to do but "a last resort when there are no viable alternatives., as Ai puts it.

  39. Yes, the Ukrainian forces split up and destroyed Russian armor all over the place.
    7
  40. Changed the population of Germany.

  41. People with alternative sexual orientation seem to need parades about it. What causes that? I'm cool with what consenting adults do behind closed doors. I would not appreciate a float about what happens there. Unless it's in New Orleans.

  42. One of the consequences of having a free country is that people make their own choices, good or bad.

  43. Brexit is looking pretty smart. Polexit next?
    7
  44. What tanks? Rolling into Germany? What about Russian dirigibles?
    7
  45. Trump just lost the midterms. He's "punching down." Americans don't like that.
    7
  46. Too many Americans engage in petty politics like sports fans. "My party rah rah rah. The other party is genuinely evil." It's pretty childish.

  47. 6:39 Germany does not want to cripple itself to cause Putin some pain. That's not a "straw man argument" (look it up) it's a value judgement based on pragmatism. Yes, Germany made huge mistakes regarding energy. But a demand coming from energy-rich America that Germany fall on its sword is not about equally sharing sacrifice. Borrowing a few more $billions when America borrows in the thousands of billions (trillions) is actually politically popular, not a sacrifice.

  48.  @blardymunggas6884  Bad news. France gets most of its electricity from nuclear. But you knew that, right? Gosh I hope so.

  49. Courage is the instinct of some.

  50. Those who talk about compromise with evil will be remembered. I suggest apologies from some who chose the dark side.
