  1. I guess this means Russian Flight companies will either no more get leases or for a much higher price in the future.

  2. Russia: Do you care to surrender your land, freedom, security and sovereignity? Ukraine: No. Do you care to return everyone back to Russia and leave us alone? Russia: No. Meeting concluded.

  3. The Chinese Government is practically proving the point here. They complaining about it. If there is no link why do they complain?

  4. They complain diesel is not longer subsidized and paying workers at least the minimum wage is hard. Fine but this is a problem of income. Meaning they not get enough to pay all this. While at the same time consumers complain about high food prices. So what happens between consumers and farmers? Well the food industry. Monopolization, centralization, dividends. They syphoning off the money for stockholders and CEOs.

  5. Has the German government considered that this would give China access to detailed trade-data destinations, type of goods, volumes etc? Data normally not accessible for a foreign government? Potentially key informations when you want to weaken or damage vital trade connections. It could allow to see which company trades with whom how much.

  6. Better to delay then to risk blowing the whole thing up which would probably end the Artemis-Program before it even begins.

  7. Some water is probably welcome after the dry-season but not this much. The ground is so dry that it cannot hold the water. I think we need to re-introduce ancient water and flood management technologies like flood-plains, small local dams and reservoirs to help keep the water in the area. Do it like the beavers do so to speak.

  8. There can be a debate about conservative policies or liberal policies, about the best way to improve a society, but there cannot be a debate about decency, integrity, honesty and empathy.
    107
  9. Have you noticed the part about "open traderoutes"? I think what Putin is trying here is to continue selling grain without having to see his ships being sunk by Ukraine and Africa blaming Ukraine for their starvation. Putin needs the grain selling as much as Ukraine and right now is harvesting season for Grain.

  10. Suggestion: Tell Corporations being less greedy for a while and reduce profit margin for a better tomorrow. Workforce costs are only 7.9% per workunit but 59% are profits. And if they don't force them by legislation and/or higher taxes and distribute the tax-money back to the people to offset inflation.

  11. Brits are not known to protest easily but I seen similar arguments and discontent before Brexit. And almost all agricultural sectors voted for Brexit and now regretted it because the problems are not caused by the EU or even governments the problem is the food industry itself. It's monopolized and centralized and the money farmers get no longer reflects the work involved. It's not even a problem of the price for the consumers but the sharing of the profits is unfair because most is skimmed of by the corporations to enrich shareholders not farmers. Consumer are unhappy about high prices and farmer about bad revenue so someone has to syphon off the wealth in the middle.

  12. He is a populist. They tell you what you want to hear and promise everything to everyone deliverable or not. Now that he has the power he has to deliver and most populist fail because their own promises are either undeliverable or even contradict each other. The best you can hope for is a partial delivery.

  14. A brittle partnership between partners who don't have long term cooperation in mind but taking each other over. Countries also which are cultural incompatible to each other who don't like foreigners and harbour hostile feelings to diversity. Countries who are also military active with invasions plans involving NATO and even military disputes between each other over land.
    56
  15. 25 years ago? Well this was after the re-unification of Germany when West-Germany needed to help East-Germany fixing the consequences of 40 years of planning economy mismanagement and lacking investment into bussiness and infrastructure. It is amazing that Germany managed to recover at all after this and returned as the powerhouse in the EU, a G7 member and 4th largest economy on the planet.
    55
  16. Ironic reporting this rain-caused flooding from Regensburg (Regen = german for rain).
    52
  17. Is it possible that without the free grain wagner loses it's grip on these nations receiving free shipments? In that case this is only a cynical move to ensure control and further exploitation.
    52
  18. There is no other way to maintain regional food production. Without the external tariffs and subsidies to farmer enforced by the EU the markets would be swamped with low-cost low-quality mass-produced stuff from America, Australia and South-America. We would get dependent on trade routes and prone to weather disasters and political conflicts or even simple ship havaries in cannels.
    45
  19. Here my recommendation: 1) Watch and Listen multiple news sources 2) Watch and Listen multiple news sources from different countries. Some countries provide english speaking sources for foreigners even if the native language is different so you can at least listen to them if you only speak english (like DWNews). If you can than listen in the native language. 3) Check the bias and the funding of the news source. If the news source is transparent and open about it or try to hide, obfuscate or even lie about it. The latter is a very bad sign. 4) If the source is telling the truth do not care about bias use the opportunity to see the truth with an opinion from another perspective ... but ignore the source when you detect intentional attempts at misinformation or lazyness on reseach and/or lack of detail. Bias is not the problem you can always make your own opinion ... only the truth matters (= that the information is truthful AND complete). 5) Do not trust any information blindly. Apply a healthy level of doubt and scrutiny to each information until you get a more complete picture and there are no inconsistencies.

  20. Wrong Mr. Spahn your most important allies are your european neighbours.

  21. I just checked a physics calculator. The change from 18° to 38° means the water volume is 0.5% higher. And since there is no space but in one direction the water level is rising ... just by heat. Now 0.5% sounds not much, but imagine that for ocean-amounts of water.
    38
  22. The problem with isolationism is you have to keep up the barriers indefinitly. If you remove them and you compete with the world market again your own industry suddenly becomes too expensive and thousands of people losing their jobs again. It would be much cleverer to keep barriers down with markets with similar cost problems/production prices to have extra capacities available to you if needed.
    34
  23. Fun Fact: Do you know why Trump is suddenly against banning after asking so long for it? Because one of his newest donors owns 15% of the holding company ByteDance.
    33
  24. We should see this as an example how all countries are affected by this sooner or later. And how the costs of emissions who were tanked by the planet for over 100 years come back to haunt us. Not that cyclones are in North-America and Europe but that some extreme weather events happen more often and being stronger raising the costs it has on a country each year until one day it is more in total than fossil fuel ever created on profits.
    31
  25. Why is this step even debated? Last week the company itself showed the problem. They send a message containing a misleading message to all users giving them the impression TicToc is banned (not sold) with the request to call Congress immediatly to protest even with a button on it to do it immediatly.

  26. Narcissistic Behaviour 101: Projection - Blame the other side of doing what you are doing. Once Putin start mentioning it you must consider the opposit of what he is saying.

  27. I wonder how people in Mariupol think over points in Putins speech (I know they have other things to worry about) about beeing "freed" and "uplifted" from their former life.
    30
  28. Good. That way the price-setting can be controlled and the profits stay in the ownership of the people and not flow to some obscure offshore account in a tax-paradise.
    28
  29. I would prefer it nationalized (if not already is). The profits from making trade with Germany should benefit the German people and stay in Germany and not used to make weapons to invade Taiwan one day ... or even attacking the west.
    28
  30. I not really understand the contra side here. Most of the rainwater will not end up in the basin just the water falling over it. Regarding the groundwater: Would a basin not allow more water to seep into the ground over time? I think artifical lakes are a brilliant idea more people should do it. Since rainfalls are less frequent but often way too intense we need ways to collect it and hold it back.
    27
  31.  @Marulauriu710  So in other words Putin is occupying moldovian territories already.
    27
  32. Finally he calls it out and the Whitehouse later dropped a ton of names in their Twitter Feeds. America was never more determined to fight for it's soul and the principles it was founded on.
    26
  33. Good. The industry in Germany needs hydrogen. So far they used gas imported to 42% from Russia to generate so called "blue hydrogen" which unfortunatly creates CO2 in the process. But green hydrogen from renewable energy sources is much better. Thankfully the newly opened LNG terminals currently used for gas can be retrofitted for hydrogen. A wise investment by Germany since the need for hydrogen will just increase over the next decades.

  34. It's time the manufacturing returns home. We buy those products, they should be made by people working in our economy so the money stays in the system. Every worker is also a customer ... but not if the employment is barely enough to surive. Put up tarrifs for outside manufactured goods so producing here is on par with producing outside.
    25
  35. Am I right to assume Turkey has the problem as Russia in that the young and educated leave to live aboard leaving an aging boomer generation behind leading to brain-drain and a tendency to conservative thinking (including hate towards everything which differs from the norm) and wish for authorian leadership to deal with the problems [the leadership created itself]?

  36. Fertilizer + Fuel = ?

  37. I wonder how a drone strike on Moscow and a sudden crackdown on dissent fits together. Unless of course these drones did not managed to fly miraculously throught 500 km of the best secured air space and way past a drones usual range but were launched from dissidents in Russia perhaps even Moscow.
    24
  38. Yes please. The money should stay in the EU.
    23
  39. Why not just raise the solar arrays to 5m and plant olive trees or other suitable plants below it? Dual use so to speak. The solar arrays could also be used to catch water for long term storage.
    22
  40. Russia is close enough to Europe to use convential means. I think anything from space is meant for others to reduce response-times.
    22
  41. According to whom? And please don't tell me according to their own data. That would be naive.

  42. Maybe El Nino has also something to do with the outbreak. It changes humidity and heat locally for a while.
    21
  43. Humans are tribal and when there are problems and crisis the tribe shrinks. If you want to reduce this lower the problems people have. Less problems, less anxiety more tolerance.
    21
  44. Hypersonic missiles are also extraordinary expensive and there are not that many of them. It will only accelerate the Russian bankruptcy and provide little or no strategic advantages.
    20
  45. China can do bussiness with Germany fine without profiting as well from a part-ownership of the very harbour this bussiness is going through. I suggest to have a look at Africa and the Belt-and-Road initiative and how terrible it ended up giving China too much influence over vital infrastructure. Fair enough this would be a minority ownership but what happens when China finds another 10% ownership and attain a majority? Maybe there is already a 5-10% owner who would be willing to do what China wants.

  46. So Belarus is doing exatly what Putin is accusing Ukraine of but never did: Emplacement of Nuclear Weapons. Calling this hypocrisy is an understatement.

  47. The coup is only half the answer. What comes after is more important. If they manage to establish free and fair elections, introducing measures to protect the democrary and the country from counter-attacks and authocrat takeovers and deal with the problems in the country so people not get dissatisfied again.
    18
  48. Watch this space. Taiwan may share the same fate unless protected by the Free World.

  49. What I dislike with this story is it comes very conveniently just one day after the international court (ICJ) founds the Israelian government potentially doing genocide and requests Israel to prevent such actions and come back in a couple weeks for being asked about progress. These suspects are known by Israel since the beginning of january and it looks very strongly like a well timed diversionary tactic.

  52. Decent interview by DWNews. Must be a pleasure for US officials compared to the shark-tank next room with the American journalists constantly interrupting allowing to finish a thought for a change.

  53. As far as I know new EU legislation forces the content-provider to explain 1) that posts of you have been hidden/removed/deleted and 2) why posts of you have been removed and 3) You have to have an option to appeal the decission. My post which had no hate-speech and no information this video not has talked about as well was just removed ... where can I appeal?

  54. To kill a couple civilians and destroy one or two buildings? With a weapon which is highly imprecise due to the high speed it's traveling. This is like using a mio dollar missile to shoot at a fly.

  56. Growing by military conquest is a concept which belongs to the 20th century and before. The costs of war far outweight any terrain-gains for a territory which probably needs 25 years to reach pre-war levels again. Look at Germany 32 years passed and still busy fixing 40 years of sovjet occupation. Most of Europe learned this lession after two world wars and began to take another strategy growth by cooperation, trade and regional development which ended up being the European Union. United to the outside, diverse and individual to the inside. The best of both worlds and what even military conquest is aiming for in the end: Prosperity and growth. So why not skip the military conquest, the burning and destruction, the death, violence and horrors, the necessary rebuilding and all and go straight to the growth and prosperity part.

  57. It does not make much difference if you make a factory in France, Italy or Germany EU shares the same market/economy and customs area. EU alignment makes sure countries cannot be played out against each other anymore within the Single Market. And this factory is clearly build to manufacture Tesla's for the Single Market and placed almost at the center of the EU.

  59. If that is true than this reporting is missing a significant information which totally changes the picture. Do you have a source describing this in detail?

  60. I have no interest in Indian politics and no relation to india whatsoever besides having watched the movie Gandhi. There was nothing negative here, but nothing positive either. Maybe this is what angers you the missing of false praise. P.S. And I'm pretty sure Gandhi would not be happy about all of this.

  61. Sure they said "Not with us" (pun intended) Only Britain joined the US in the iraq war the rest of Europe not.
    14
  62. The same problem can grow with Malaria and other illnesses. The changing weather patterns allows some species to travel further north/south and surviving longer allowing to spread diseases in regions which are not used to them. Even local species which usually suvive the winter only in smaller numbers can become an issue when overpopulated.
    14
  63. This happens when you not rob your own country for yourself. I mean Putin must be blind. Europe has not used military conquest for 80 years to expand and grow and not only rebuild completly after the 2nd World War but also grown past that by regional development especially by the EU. This is the way. The new way of growing without military conquest. Not what Putin is doing by conquering and stealing from your neighbours. His strategy belongs to the 20th century.

  67.  @wackey2k10  Ironically neighter Russia nor China or even America wants Europe to have it's own army. It would be the most high-tech military on this planet challenging them all making everything even more strategically difficult in case Europe suddenly has it's own plans.

  68. Something is telling me this technology is much further than they want to let us know. Laser is old. Over 50 years by now and you can be sure they trying this for decades.

  69. Be careful with those who lie. Lies never lead to something good. Never Trust anyone blindly. And do not care who is lying. Those rules apply to left-leaning and right-leaning people and media. I can watch both sides ... but not if I detect one side lying.

  70.  @ernstschwaig4667  Of course they need subsidies. Having regional food production is essential or you get a critical dependency to trade routes (see ship blockades or the canal havaries recently) with life-threatening consequences. And to be able to compete with the mass-producers who gives a damn about monocultures and environmental protection. Those who will be affected by climate change first. If we are not careful we going into a disaster only 2nd to Mao's policies in the 60/70ties.
    13
  71. Most people don't have time for that diligence. Therefore the more important it is to have trusted news sources who do this diligence for us. Like DWNews for example. But a grain of caution and doubt is always healthy and having multiple sources from different countries is helpful too.
    13
  72. There are 70 mio Germans. Don't you think you extremly generalized here. What about all these protests against hate and the right-wing? Even this video is contradicting your statement.

  77. BS-argument. There is no reason why a private company should be more or less effective than a state-owned. It's just a question of personel. And since this company is still a normal stock-company but with 98% state ownership ... not much has changed actually. Just the profits go to 98% to the people of Germany.
    11
  78. Excellent reporting DWNews. You seem to be doing something right when your posts bring thousands of Pro-Russian and Anti-West commentators here to comment on your videos. You really seem to be saying things they do not like to hear ... the truth.

  79. Thanks for covering this topic. I tried to convey this problem of costs of nuclear energy to people on the internet especially since it's seen as the wonder to beat climate change not seeing the real costs and disadvantages involved especially if compared to modern green technology.

  80. Ironically China now has to fix something which made China superior to western manufacturing ... low labour costs. And by changing that losing the advantage of it and ending up at the same situation like America and Europe. The only way to increase their internal market to let's say EU levels is to raise wealth and distribute wealth among the 99% in form of higher wages, tax credits and/or subsidies something the CCP is not willing to do because the share goes away from the privileged CCP class. Another problem: Leave the big tier-5/4 cities of China just half an hour and you get the feeling you doing a 50 year time travel. The countryside is underdeveloped and poor and China needs to severly uplift these areas to become what China wants to be independent and self-sufficient. You can never achieve this goal 100% anyway because modern society is too technical and too complex to do everything on your own. So you need to open your society to the rest of world again something the current government really not want to do anymore. And with this change new problems come because a larger middle class will want more political say and more freedoms. And opening up to the outside allows sharing of information and creates new wishes, cultural exchanges and more "why can't we have that". It's fascinating to watch actually like a law of nature applied to human society/culture something you cannot avoid like a law of nature.

  81. Give me a policy from the new constitution which would have done something ... "communistic" as you suggested. And explain to me why it's bad.

  82. I think the impact for companies is lower than companies think. The EU already applies Rules-of-Origin for goods coming from outside the EU or via Free-Trade Agreements. Extending this documentation by two additional components shouldn't be so hard. This is also one more reason to source components from within the EU or countries with Free-Trade Agreements (since these new requirements will be included) instead of relying on imports from questionable sources in 3rd countries. And thirdly the "Brussels-Effect" meaning rules to trade with the EU are exported to all countries doing bussiness with the EU leading to improvements in these countries who seek to do bussiness. A smart way to make the world better by greed (the wish to sell in the EU). Encouraging these countries to adopt these policies in order to continue or expand bussiness. It also improves competition and fairness worldwide with countries who already adhere to the rule and make their products more interesting and competetive as potential sources for EU companies and helps leveling the playfield and rewards environmental friendly innovations stronger. Next step should be including Climate Gas emission footprint to encourage Green Energy and Green Production, fair taxation and labour laws.

  83. Germany fixed that in the meantime. And even before that Germany spend more per year than the UK in absolute pay. You can hardly call that "not paying the bills". And Germany has really a problem with that. Because Germany is forbidden to have offensive weaponry like subs and nuclear weapons since WW2 all is spend on defense.

  85. Some contextual informations to that I recently got from a nuclear scientist. - Normal radioactive waste needs roughly 300,000 years to be as radiant as Uranium Ore again. - The current storage solutions of most countries are temporary and last only a couple decades before containment breaches can occur. - It is possible to recycle radioactive waste partially (fully is not possible) to make more nuclear fuel but it is expensive, much more expensive than just making more normal nuclear fuel. - Waste from recycled radioactive fuel needs only 10,000 years until it is as radiant as Uranium Ore again. - The ability of recycling radioactive waste allows automatically to split plutonium off from the waste which can be used for nuclear weapons. It is seen as a security risk when countries have this ability or facilities for it.

  86.  @Wolfcamp555  Insurances already refuse to insure houses in Florida for high risk of storms. How long do you think insurances are willing to insure farmers? And even if. It is another cost which further reduces your income and/or raises prices and just feeding another middleman.

  87. Process their asylum claims quickly maybe in Mexico already. So they do not need to wait long, need housing, food, etc. and scaring the locals and so that they can be deported when denied. The sooner this is done the sooner they can be put to work to stop being a burden to society and instead contribute.

  92. The coalition is problematic to say the least. It's like putting pro-worker and pro-bussiness into the same government, or like putting pro-spending/high-tax to low-spending/low-tax into the same government. Their goals along party lines are often incompatible and compromise is hard to find. If they not find a middle-ground things begin to stagnate and people see that and perceive it as bad because it isn't moving at all. And voters will express this dissatisfaction at the ballot box. Law-wise this doesn't have to be bad assuming the original situation is not problematic but already okay. But it looks like standstill. Bussiness actually likes it they hate change because it impacts their daily routine they established they want stability and predictability. This is the thing with Proportional Represenation (PR) you are encouraged to compromise. If not you stagnate and will be voted out in exchange for parties who are willing to compromise. The law-making of this kind of governing is much moderate not so extreme as under models when one party controls everything and once the next party comes in they revert everything back and start from scratch again.

  104. I agree with the expert there. It will only fasten the change to electricity based heating or alternatives which Green Endless Energy, but also Fusion one day will need. Putin is like a Drug dealer holding back supply. If he is not careful his consumers overcome the addiction.

  105. Interesting perspective. Thanks DWNews. However I gotten very sad when I heared Putins lies about the war being repeated so convinced. The Truth in this case is not somewhere in the middle I'm afraid. It may take weeks, or months or even years for them realize this but too late for Ukraine. And maybe even too late to realize that they are in danger of being pulled into a war as well started by a greedy, powerhungry man who lives still in the 20th century clinging to an era which died 30 years ago.

  108. You mean out of greed. It is extremly profitable to have this temporary cooperation. Low cost oil and other resources, coal and other resources and big market for selling electronics since the sanctions prevents imports from anywhere else.

  118. Trust is the key here. Most people have not the time and resources and sometimes the means to fact check everything. But they need information sources they can trust. How can this be solved? We need it sooner rather than later. I have a relative high trust in DWNews because I know their funding is not controlled by the german government and not influenced by corporations via ads or ownership the money comes directly from german people. But this is an exception not the rule. For other channels you not get any funding information, you not get any "who has control over the content" information and you not get a real information about their bias. Maybe it needs some certification / watchdog who constantly checking media and giving them some kind of certification for being trustable or something. This would have to be continued and renewed constantly of course. Whatever it is we need it desperatly because the lies exploding and destroying trust the foundation of society.

  124. Why would the Greens be an issue? SPD and CDU have a majority. And for that matter: Why is the AfD not helping out with votes? Edit: Ah okay. It's constitutional change. Well that needs 2/3 majority. So the AfD is not helping out with their 20%? Interesting. Maybe not such a good coalition partner after all. But the solution is simple: Ask the Greens what they want. A certain policy perhaps?

  125. Geothermic is not sustainable in the amounts of energy we need. The area around geothermic sites tends to cool down reducing efficiency to the point of having to close it down. This is the thing we learned in 50 years of using it. You simply cannot reliable satisfy the needs of a highly industrialized country like Germany that way. And I shudder by the idea what could possibly go wrong. Like creating seismic issues or worse solidifying earths core which would be the end of all life on the planet.

  138. What's with all these accusations of communism? There is no communism left on this planet not even in North-Korea and it was never really fully implemented either not even in the sovjet union. Communism means "ownership of all means of production by everyone" which on itself is not bad. But Communism combined this with "Planning Economy" and this what was not up to the task. But I beginning to wonder if AI could help us out here. The irony is every bussiness under capitalism works itself under "Planning Economy" controlled by the board and CEO. It is the only way to run a bussiness. The problem was always to scale this up to a country.

  140.  @Nanaucat  This is not quite correct. Nuclear energy has to run 24/7. Starting and stopping nuclear power plants or even changing the reaction rate has detrimental effects on the efficiency making nuclear even more expensive than it already is. So if the demand is dropping at the night the price of nuclear energy goes even up. Either because it is just wasted or because inefficiencies by changing reaction rates creating overhead costs. In a way nuclear power has the oppossit problem as solar and wind. It runs all the time, but it is not always needed while green power not runs always but sometimes too much. Both need energy storage technolgies. Solar at least has the benefit that it produces the most energy when the most energy is needed ... during the day.

  141. The US is not intrested in invading Cuba and make it the 51st state in the US. I mean the US is not even willing to give Puerto-Rico or even Washington D.C.

Since ocean temperatures are extremly important for weather forcast and hurricane and storm warnings they are measured very frequently, very precise, around the globe. The North-East Atlantic is warmer than ever before. It looks like a mistake on the diagram so we are in unprecedented territory. And I only told you warmer water expands.

  156. I wonder if this is partly to be attributed to climate change. Indirectly of course. 1) Extreme rainfalls leads to floods 2) Floods puts pressure on people, agriculture and economy, result: rising poverty 3) Poverty and problems make people afraid, the tribe shrinks resentment towards everyone outside the tribe increases 4) It reaches a critical mass which makes a country apply desperate measures This is the problem. It's all connected.

  171.  @InTimeTraveller  Thank you all for your responses. Of course not the full ocean will heat to the levels of Florida ... not yet anyway unless we stop the trend somehow. But what is important that water expands just by heat and people forget that. This is especially important because this is not the only reason for higher water levels. There is melting ice which is on land (swimming ice does not change the level as everybody knows who had a drink on ice) which directly adds more. Greenland, Antartica and glaciers around the globe which are already receeded to large percentages. And water changes elasticity slightly with different temperatures something not even mentioned yet. It changes behaviour and maximum wave height which might be a problem on storms and for ships. Besides I never mentioned anything about how big the rise is in m or feet. I leave that to the scientists. I just gave you an orientation what water does on higher temperatures and how big it is because it is often overlooked ... sometimes with intention.

  180. Is this not just a facade? The US is not directly delivering anything some multi-national companies with drilling licenses in the US do. And they sell for World Market Price to the world market I imagine. So if the EU buys more LNG regardless from whom it will be for world market price and reduce world wide supply with rising prices as an effect unless the US forces the companies to use the 10,000 unused drilling licenses in the US - which the US could have done at any point in the past.

  208.  @Greego-z1z  You havn't read my post did you. They calculated how much workforce costs are in each product and service you buy at average. They found out that per Dollar you pay workforce is on 7,9 cent. You could double all workers and employees wages ... and it would still be just 16 cent of the full dollar. Inputs (e.g. resources) are ~38c and the remaining 54c cents go out as profits. Is it so much to ask to have 46c instead of 54c and instead double all wages? And people don't even ask for 100% increase just for the inflation rate. If I had any power I would make a law mandating all companies to raise all wages and benefits yearly by at least the inflation or more. Everything else is real-terms wage cut.

  229. Putin broke the peace not NATO. NATO practially only exists because Russia still uses military conquest to expand and grow. A concept Europe left behind in the 20th century. Putin is a Cold War Warrior while the West wanted to move on in the 21st century.

  230. If I were Finland I would hurry up. Putin threatening Finland means he planned to invade Finland sooner or later. Being a NATO member makes invasions almost impossible because you declare war to 30 countries with it that's why he hates it. I say: Give a damn about Putin. He is not to be trusted and any treaty with him is not worth the paper it is written on. He proved that on Ukraine in the last decade and especially the last 4 weeks.

  231. But is stays not long and certainly not to make up almost a year of lower rainfalls. A river-system is not like a simple pool you have at home. Another problem is the real water storage is actually the ground and the life in the upper parts of it. But they are dead to heat and low moisture and cannot store the moisture anymore. It disappears even faster and plants do not get much before all is gone.

  232. It would have been better if people would make cooperatives and invest into their own turbines so they can use the power directly and even sell the power to the rest of the country. There are successfull projects similar to this in Europe giving local community the profits of Green Energy. Another way would be of course to nationalize the power generation to keep costs at minimum and reliability at maximum and making sure all profits people pay by their power bills flows back into the country and not to some obscure global company on a tax-heaven island.

  242. I doubt this is new. The 2000 movie "Spacecowboys" used that as fiction and I seriously doubt this hasn't been tried or even established already. However I also recognize that the US is recently pushing to emplace nuclear weapons in Europe which I highly disgree of for two reasons: 1) These weapons are a threat to Europe, especially under a Trump presidency. 2) These weapons make Europe 1st target for pre-emptive or retaliatory strikes by Russia due to distance to Russia. So for me this is fearmongering by America to make Europe more willing to accept nuclear emplacements. P.S. I am well aware that France and Britain have nuclear arsenals.

  243.  @k.k.c8670  That's bs for two 2 reasons. 1) Chinas baseline data is collected by local governments and send to Bejing. Since noone wants to lose the cushy job or make central government angry bad numbers are lowered and good numbers overreported. 2) All companies in China must have by law CCP representatives. They are the ones collecting the data and sending them to Bejing. And Bejing does everything to not embarrass itself on the world stage. For example data on youth unemployment were stopped last year for obvious reasons and it doesn't stop there.

  251. You need a dictionary. If Ukraine had attacked or tried to invade Russia, that would have been "provoked". Instead Ukraine is occupied for years and invaded again last year. If your neighbour is buying a fire insurance, you are not allowed to go over there to burn his house.

  257. There were economic reasons for doing that. The 2 nuclear power plants are incompatible with the rising regenerative green energy in Germany. Nuclear power plants not working well and efficient when constantly started and stopped. And green energy is already cheaper than nuclear so using nuclear is economical and ecological rubbish ... especially when only used as a buffer for times when green power is low.

  258. Do we really need to speculate about potential whats, whys and whens when there is more than enough actual news happening? We are all aware that oil companies and OPEC countries would love to get more for less and just waiting for an opportunity to do so. Speculating like that seems like you paving the way for it like a self-fullfilling prophecy.

  259. The US military gets 850,000 x 1,000,000 Dollar each year now. And this is only military spending. And of that 40,000 x 1,000,000 Dollar were used to buy new weaponry for the US military while the old stuff was send to Ukraine, Taiwan, Europe.

  282. Yes. He fixed the rift Trump created with the Allies of the United States. A rift which almost lead to the US leaving NATO and which might have given Putin a greenlight to invade all of Europe.

And if you protest in Russia you are imprisoned. Dictators fear to lose their power and wealth and the biggest danger come from his own people by sheer number. And the moment the truth becomes your biggest enemy the days of your reign are numbered.

  288. Germany has constitutional restrictions to have no offensive military and offensive weapons following the 2nd World War. So Germany according to NATO rules spending between 1.5% and 2% GDP for Defensive Stuff for the military. For comparison this number is larger than the military spending of the United Kingdom. But no nuclear weapons, no first strike weapons, nothing offensive. However the defensive stuff is quite modern and well made and there is a lot of it if you cannot buy offensive stuff.

  305. Ukraine is not a NATO member. What is forcing the US to help Ukraine is a treaty. Ukraine dismantles their nuclear weaponry in exchange for protection and help by the US. And they did. Perhaps a mistake in retrospect Putin had never invaded a nuclear power.

  310. America has 3 levers on this: 1) Suspend all weapons deliveries until peace is established 2) Suspend all financial aid until peace is established (3,800 mio every year plus extras like this years 21,000 mio $) 3) Tell Israel: If Israel goes further in war with the middle east and continue actions in the Westbank and Gaza and Israel will be on it's own However we have an election year in America. And it's very unlikely any of that will happen before November 5. Netanyahu's government exploited the tight relations to America to become a bully to it's neighbours and a terror-regime to it's own citizens noone can touch. It's time the "puppy-protection" granted by the US and other countries due to the holocaust is ending and Israel is judged and treated like any other country.

  311. This feels so strongly like Cold War Era. I thought this practise was ended 30 years ago. Poland what are you doing? Pretending the Warsaw Pact is still alive and kicking? Are the communists back in power in Poland? Or did you allow the Fascists to take over this time? Only authorians have the need to brag with military in a parade.

  314. The Russian Army is unable to control all of Ukraine. The country is the largest country in Europe twice the size of Germany. And Ukrainians fights to the last men to keep it free and independent. Even if Kiev falls Putin is in for decades of geruilla war.
    2
  315. This General is the american counterpart to Putin. Another old Cold Warrior seeing a chance to settle old scores. Don't misunderstand me, if war breakes out I love to have someone like that on the battlefield, but in a position of leadership making decissions between a worldwar or not I prefer to have cooler heads.
    2
  316. A lot of whining there the problem for all airlines is - there is less demand. Airlines in Germany compete with one of the densest high-speed rail systems on the planet. A cheap ticket allows you to reach all of Germany by local trains. Climate change making people consider flying less. And Covid teached people you don't need to fly somewhere to relax. Not to mention less disposable income than before due to rising prices without matching raising wages.
    2
  317. Russians and Ukrainians lived together for over 60 years in the same country. A lot of them have family or relatives and friends in each other countries. Russians used to make vaccations in Ukraine especially Crimea. The Russian soldiers were told they are there to "free" the people of the Ukraine (if something like that actually exists in Putin's Russia). Civilians who risk their lifes to stop this not making much sense for those soldiers.

  318. I agree banning Vodka is silly. Especially since most Vodka in the US is made in the US or Europe. However the sanctions are the largest and widest sanctions ever been put on a country in human history. And sanctions not work from one day to the next.

  319. Yes and I can understand that. Netanyahu's plan for over 14 years is to push all Palestinians out of Israel into the Sinai. The very reason for the location and shape of Gaza. And I can understand why Egypt refuses.

  320. Almost all kids in Germany have English as their first language in school. East Germany had even Russian until the 1989. And French, Spanish or Latin and/or Ancient Greek as 2nd and/or 3rd language.

  329.  @alandworsky8926  Are you sure? Let's say all power is generated from geothermic energy (assuming it's possible at all). How do you know that pulling this much energy is not reducing magma viscosity? Maybe just some percent is effecting the cores magnetic field. It doesn't need to stop rotating it would be enough if it slows down. Let's say the chance is 1 to 1 Trillion. Do you have a 2nd earth because if something is happening we are effed.

  331.  @michaelmcgarrity6987  There is no need. Just build more semi-conductor factories. And America and Europe already do. I take from your post you like the "good ol' times" right ... I'm sorry to burst your bubble but "what was will never come back".
    2
  332.  @michaelmcgarrity6987  FYI: 1) Germany "only" needs to replace 41% of Russian Gas imports. 2) The EU forced all gas storages to fill to 80% by October 2022 and they already passed 50%. Full storages last for 1-2 winters. 3) There is an multi-step emergency plan in place. Heating of private household is cut off last industry first. So no ... the world will not end.

  337. Trump loves the undereducated it makes it so much easier to lie - As Trump always says it he implies to his audience NATO members have to pay America somehow and would not pay enought. Which is a lie. Most not know or bother to check this spending commitment is into the countries own military and America does not sees a cent of it. The idea is simple: Trump wants to create the impression other countries would cheat on America and to hide the fact that America spend 860,000 x 1,000,000$ every year on the military.

  338. Natural Gas comes through these pipelines not oil. However there are imports of oil 31% if I remember correctly. But the EU has an oil embargo and Russia did not delivered any gas for a month now. So for Europe not much has changed by this.

  339. Make sense Canada and Germany in the EU trade a little more. There is already a Trade-Deal which can be build upon not only to Germany but other EU members as well. And I bet the conditions might be even a little more two-sided than NAFTA. In any case it makes sense that the money is flowing between western democratic nations and not flow out into autocracies funding the next war with it and underpricing our way of life. And I bet Germany has a lot of offer in return for a couple resources not just cars but also some sofisticated machinery to make manufacturing in Canada more interesting again.

  341. What please? You make no sense. Democracy means power by the people (demos ancient greek for people and cratos ancient greek for power). It means elections/voting. It means your power is making this cross every 4 years or so between multiple candidates of different parties.

  342. Noone did. Did were all voted out of office. Putin cannot, he made himself King of Life.
    2
  343.  @anarabbasov8634  Yes I'm serious. Serbians began killing their neighbours for being not them. The goal was to stop the genocide. Hussein unleased terror on his own people and put every critic, every educated behind bars with torture and death. Look. I recognize that terrible things happend, but this in no way justifies to do the same to Ukrainians by Putin. Or to Chechnyians or Georgians or even Syrians since Putin was actively helping Assad ... still do.

  344. Looks like it. The FDP is a millstone to Greens and Social-Democrats attempts at bringing improvements to peoples lifes. This stagnation they cause is not seen well by the Germans and the misinformation army on the internet makes sure the SPD/Greens are blamed not the FDP.

  345. It's not. It has no billionaire owner or corporations like all of the US channels. It is not primarily funded by ads which makes it independent of corporations and bussiness. Funding comes directly from german people without government involvement. And it is not under direct control of the german government by funding or content control. DWNews can say what it wants and how it wants.

  346. What a coincidence I was just watching Star Wars Rogue One not even an hour ago.

  347. Until Putin invaded and stolen Crimea 8 years ago Ukraine didn't ask for NATO membership until Russia broke the peace. Putin created this problem himself.
    2
  348. Putin invaded Ukraine and started the violence. Not the Ukraine, Not the Rest of the World. Putin actually invaded and stolen Crimea 8 years ago part of Ukraine.
    2
  349. You kidding right? Apparently you not watched what happened in the last 14 months.
    2
  350. Not really. They want the currencies so Putin and the Oligarchs can convert their wealth to protect it and the Russian people will be left with nothing.
    2
  351.  @xr2kid  Ukraine asked once in 2008 for NATO membership. It was denied. Since than nothing. Maybe you should check these things first. And the moment Russia invaded Ukraine everyone knew it was a mistake not to be in NATO since Putin wanted to invade regardless.
    2
  352. The Solomon-Island are in no danger of being invaded and occupied by any of the pacific nations ... except by China who still seek to use military conquest to expand (and Russia of course). So why would you volunteer to make a military-base which makes it easy to invade and conquer the rest? Is Solomon-Island also aware that in case Taiwan is invaded or China tries to invade any other pacific country that Solomon-Island become a target and a waring faction? And worse when China tries to place nuclear weapons on this island it would force a response from New Zealand and Australia.

  353. I watch british politics quite extensivly ... I never heard of it. Edit: And P.S. Labour is not in government for 13 years. Tories control everything and their majority cannot be outvoted even by all of the oppossition together. Tories can do what they want since 2019.

  354. You don't make any sense. EU regulations and trade-rules are not impact by part-ownership of a harbour within the EU single market. The same can and has happened in other EU harbours as well and nothing out of the order. Regardless who owns the harbour the law does still apply. A problem would potentially be an exclusion zone like a Freeport. This would potentially be serious issue however the EU has limits and regulations for Freeports within the Single Market - and Germany would never break those rules.

  355. Ukraine only defends itself. Russia is the aggressor.

  358. Define "Socialism" for me. And tell me a policy you don't like.

  359. This is Putins point. If he cannot have it than he wants to make sure the "gras is not looking greener over there" and that he may get another chance again.

  360. Corporations pushing nuclear to prevent the decentralization of the power-market - I think nuclear energy is pushed so hard right now because it is the last chance of energy corporations to prevent the de-centralization and the democratization of power-generation which comes with solar- and wind-energy. The companies simply want to keep the monopoly on the energy-market and want to remain the only power-providers. But since there are no large-throughput emission free technologies besides fusion and fission and fusion is not ready I think companies pushing nuclear currently so hard to prevent them losing control to a market in which every family-home, every company is making it's own power and feeding surplus into a grid to much lower costs. And with that reducing demand and increasing supply at the same time. A nightmare for every energy company.

  361.  @xavariusquest4603  That would be okay. But in most other cases he has 5 to 20 people behind him who do not talk and who look like randoms grabbed from the street.

  362. Not the current one. The cumulated one of the last 150 years. What we emit today hardly makes a dent compare to what is already done. But it will add to the problems of tomorrow.
    2
  363. They said why: Because you cannot believe Ukrainians nor Russians on this. The Truth is probably somewhere in between altough I would trust Ukrainian source a little more than Russian sources who are even too afraid to tell their own citizens about this.
    2
  364. She said "I think" clearly declaring the following statment her opinion. That is fair. Most american hosts do not do that and smuggle in their opinion without this. Everyone is entitled to an opinion even a news hosts what really matters is that she is not adding, changing or leave out anything on the facts ... or in other words the truth. If her opinion is true or not can be debated.

  365.  @emikomina  The EU and Japan have a free trade agreement. I'm sure trading Hydrogen is absolutly possible and all over the same LNG terminals and similar ships.
    2
  366. By lying to Russians. And some of them come here and repeat the lies.
    2
  367. Well a problem is Russians agree on Putin, but they are not told the Truth about everything infact from what I've seen and heared they have a completly screwed perspective on the reality. Putin removed all dissenting voices by those new laws and everyone not willing to lie for Putin suspended broacasting and/or left the country. And they fear Putin when they say otherwise on polls. So everyone is basically either really Pro-Putin or pretend to be Pro-Putin. Noone can really tell how people stand to Putin. But one thing is sure. The Truth about Ukraine will shine through sooner or later. And when they see how Putin raised Ukraine to the ground for a lie they will not like that.

  368. Why should Germany be a NATO freeloader? They invest at least 2% of their GDP into their military like everybody else. And Germany has a quite substancial GDP for it's size and population.

  369. What about: More competition lowers the price? Potentially even below the rentability of fracking?

  373. I'm pretty sure even if America, France and UK would use all nukes Putin would still survive this in a bunker somewhere ... or on some tropical island on the other side of the planet watching Russian soldier and Ukrainians die for his dream of an era long passed. The world has moved on but Putin refuses to leave the 20th century.

  378. How the fire started is not really important. The conditions allowing it to get so much out of control is. And believe it or not but a drout exaserbated by climate change effects making it longer and warmer than usual is relevant.

  379. Actually no. The passage to enter the North-sea is so narrow there is no international waters in between.

  380. Because it never happended. Putin is sending FSB agents there for decades to live there. To push local public opinion, sabotage, increase calls for seperation and to prepare the steps Putin done 3 weeks ago. Donbass has the heavy-industry, the manufacturing, coal, iron, titanium, anthracit and other natural resources. It's responsible for 30% of Ukraines exports. And it connects Russia to Crimea. Do I really need to connect the dots for you here? Even a blind man would see what's going on.

  384. You realize this deal is allowing Russia to trade it's grain too do you? This is a deal like "I don't attack yours when you don't attack mine". And Russia is selling a lot of grain.

  385. They don't want to. I mean they fight and are even willing to die to keep their independence, freedom and democracy. If you don't believe me or DWNews than at least ask them (and not just one and not one just of the few seperatists Russia planted in Donbass).

  386. "Stops" would imply it works to 100%. No vaccine ever do this! 60% rates good, 70% excellent and 80%+ outstanding. And Delta was already a version which made all vacine 15-30% less effective because they were designed for former variants.

  387. Sure he wants. But not a complete surrender to Putin without consent of the Ukrainian People. It's their country so they should have say over how much is surrendered to Putin.

  388. I have an idea to increase income. Build scafolds high enough for machines to pass under and build solar panels over it for energy production. Dual use of farmland. You can even use the scafolds for watering in times of dryness and collecting water with too much rain at the same time and it would reduce the wind-damage to crops.

  396. The Insanity Trump unleashed on earth. Decency and Manners the so called social norms kept them in check but it was always there lurking in the shadows but the moment Trump managed to get to be the most powerful man on the planet it removed the social barriers. Social Media, the post-truth era, the complete failure of Media and Government to protect the Truth done the rest and Covid wasn't really helpful with the mental issues either.

  397. Yeah 60 years ago. And while the country was booming. And a small inland-Canal between river is something different than one which connects seas.

  398. Putin is the last Cold War Warrior. Sticking to an era which ended 30 years ago in another century regretting the end of a failed experiment called Soviet Union. And still using outdated ideas and strategies of military conquest to expand and grow which belongs to the 20th century. Europe needed two world wars and almost complete destruction twice to understand this lesson and started a new way. The European Union. Peace by economical interconnection, strength by unity, united to the outside, diverse to the inside, growth by regional development. The only way to continue to grow in a world which is apportioned and has no white spots anymore and where cooperation and trade is a requirement not an option.
    2
  399. Sure he wants. But not a complete surrender to Putin without consent of the Ukrainian People. It's their country so they should have a say over what and how much is surrendered to Putin.

  403. Zelensky is not doing this for America or Europe. He does this for his home, his people, his country for Freedom, for independence, for justice, for peace and prosperity for generations following. And he is just one man at the tip of the spear, even when he falls this will continue because everybody else in Ukraine fights for the same.

  404. There are multiple reasons for that: 1) Germany has a lot of solar and wind energy which is now cheaper per MW than nuclear energy thanks to price drop to green technology 2) Nuclear power plants cannot be quickly started or stopped it loses tons of efficiency when not run constantly meaning using it to offset shortages from regenerative energy is not really an option. At peak times the wind energy alone can power Germany's primary energy needs 2,5 times. 3) Cooling water. The main problem for nuclear power is the need for cooling water. And water is often not that much available with the more frequent drouts. Without cooling nuclear power becomes dangerous. In France a lot of nuclear power plants are down for lack of cooling water. And also the cooling water raises the temperature of water bodies not good for the biology in them.

  405.  @colinhunt4057  Observations shown that the worst possible condition is not your suggestion but low-wind nights and they found out even in that condition wind still can deliver 20% coverage. However these special nights happen only rarly and there are solutions to cover these periods. This is why Germany also diversifying green technology to bioenergy from organic waste and agriculture because it can help cover these conditions. What can also help in these circumstances are hydro water solutions. In some cases they are even explicitly used for energy storage purposes for nights. In addition to that Germany invests into research and prototyping for other energy storage to have more risiliance. Another measure of Germany and the EU is to expand the connectivity of the power grid across the EU so regional weather differences can be offset better. The economic side of this is also improved the integrated EU energy market to make it attrative to participate. And the EU is pushing projects to create power connections to north africa to enable energy imports. Having all this in mind simply made nuclear power less attractive and less effective and as I said in the other post ... economical unwise because it is already more expensive than green energy.

  409. Says the Putin-minion who wants to take over Ukraine.

  410. Putin has another problem: Time is working against him and I do not mean the sanctions which put another type of pressure on him. Putin started a war against the Truth in his own country. Putin needed to lie and make up excuses to invade Ukraine. He put telling the truth under punishment of imprisonment. But the truth cannot be covered up forever it always finds ways to come out. And Russian will not like what they hear or if they even see it in person some day. Putin also cannot hide the dead soldiers of his army at some point the parents, friends, family want to know and no answer is also an answer. Putin is also not the youngest anymore he has less time before him than behind him. Putin is on borrowed time no matter how the war turns out. He just accelerated and shorted his time by making more and more people turning against him.

  411. This barge you seen to house some immigrants was used in the past for oilworkers. And according to people who used it didn't like it very much. This barge is designed for 200 workers but the UK government planned to put 500 on there. This also caused the fire department earlier last week to object because it would been a potential death trap in case of a fire. Not to mention putting people traumatized by a boat trip over the channel on a boat again.

  416.  @electrolytics  I merely pointed out the obvious (if you know your onions everyone can do that). And this is not a solution just pointing out a problem. But it is not the only one. There is a political component too about the controller of this model. The instance which is making the decissions for the system (like CEO and board in a company). Unfortunatly it was given to a few in the form of dictatorial communism (actually like in a company under capitalism) and humans are flawed. It messed up the efficiency. This is why I brought up the idea of AI helping us out maybe.

  422. This is factual wrong. The government has no say over DWNews and is also not involved with funding. DW is funded directly by the german people without involvement of the government. They can say what they want and how they want.
    2
  423.  @holdyourheadhigh2935  Please read what I wrote. DWNews funding is made without the german government directly from the german people. Those are not even taxes this is a mandatory fee everyone pays like a mandatory donation. And it ensures media can stay independant from government and from companies (ads). It gets as close to independant as it possibly can.

  424. I strongly disagree but I can see how such a long investment can lead to this opinion. Resources here on earth are limited and especially at the rate we use them it will become a problem. On the other hand there are asteroids out there worth trillions in resources. And there are hundreds of thousands of asteroids right in our solar-system. Some rare resources on earth are much more abundend in space. It's a long shot ... but worth the effort.

  427. There is no Inflation-Spiral. It's an argument invented by lobbyists and wealthy people to fear people into submission for taking real-term wage cuts by inflation. This argument completly ignores without workforce there are no gains, no profits, no dividends. And more importantly it completely ignores productivity meaning 1€ in workforce costs lead to much more than 1€ in gains. And productivity has never been higher thanks to IT.

  432. When they manage to solve problems in the country and reduce existential anxiety by more housing, more public-safety, more education, better healthcare and lower the income inequality somewhat it doesn't matter what happens on the immigration front.

  434. The problem is that conservative voters like to conserve their wealth and things as they are this is why conservatives will never tax themselves fairly. The left has no issues with this. And taxing the rich is sensible it is the only source of money besides making more debt. But only the left touches this source. Guess why most media is right-leaning and trying to convince 50% or more to vote like them?

  435. Well the video explained it. They do not deliver anything for 30 days now and the Pump thing is fixed. Russia run out of reasons to not deliver according to contract.

  436. Changing 1.8x% to 2.0x% GDP is not exactly "drastically" especially when the GDP is not really growing. And Germany is still prevented by the Constitution to have offensive weapons and military.
    2
  437. Why Do I hear a news like "Putin is fearing a war with NATO" and the next day "Putin is gonna attack NATO in 2026"? Please make up your mind. And leave the military-industrial-complex out their donated politicians and lobbyists of course want spending to increase.
    2
  438. Read again. It says "public funded" and in Germany this mean without government involvement directly by the german people.

You work illegally for below-minium wage because you will never go to authorities to complain about your boss or the work conditions you are under. You may even consider crime to survive. See how the problems are all connected? And that some people might even like it that way and exploit it.

    1
  455. @lomoatshe3153 To leave of course. Because they thought it would weaken the UK and the EU. And it did but not as much as they wanted. They also hoped it would lead to more nations leaving the EU but it had the oppossit effect. What Putin fears is not NATO or America but the EU because the EU is running better than his own country and people might consider wanting the same and getting rid of him. The EU-model also ends his plan for a Russian Empire because in the EU you no longer need military conquest to prosper and expand you do it with peaceful means instead of expansion by being one in a chorus.

  462. Not Nato. Nato is just a defensive alliance (Attack on one is an attack on all). Which would be perfect for Ukraine to be left alone. But being in the EU would change things. The EU is a confederation of countries with the motto "united to the outside, diverse on the inside." And contrary to NATO the EU is political and economical and can help prosper and develop the Ukraine quicker than Ukraine alone or as Russian Protectorat ever could. And this is the last thing Putin wants: A prosperous democracy on his front door convincing his Russians that the grass is greener on the other side making and end to his Cleptocracy in Russia.

  481. Not all spending of Congress is creating the inflation. The 950 billion Trump spend in PPP Loans which were later 76% forgiven and converted into grants was because it was used by companies to buyback loans or just keep the money instead of preventing layoffs clearly was. Bidens spending was largly going directly into infrastructure (R did not vote for that), investment into economy (R did not vote for that). Questionable are the 1,000 bn for the military each year but Republicans vote to 100% for that the 60 bn for Ukraine (but Republicans largly voted for this too). It's astonishing how Americans are groomed into thinking Spending = Inflation. They not realize this lie was invented to not demand spending money - their own tax money - on the taxpayers .... ridiculous! According to recent data of each product of work (Katie Porter in Congress showed it) 7,9% are wage costs, ~35% are input costs (resources, services, others) everything else is profit. 20 years ago it was the other way around 59% were wage costs. The current inflation is result of Corporate Greed and Financial Market speculation.

  488. Yes it is protection. Noone is denying this. The EU is protecting the people, workers and companies in the EU. But China is not beholden to the same regulations, not the same worker rights and protections as EU workers and not the same environmental regulations so they can cheat and produce cheaper. Not to mention government subsidies by the Chinese government. This distorts the market because the products not represent the true price of the product. Hence the EU is creating tariffs to level the playing field. This in turn creates a fair and healthy competition of products in the Single Market. And in the long run China will not attain a monopoly on the market. And this is also saving jobs and innovation in the EU. Look what happend in America when you not do it.

MSNBC and CNN might not directly lie to you like Fox, Newsmax and OAN, but they often apply false equivalence and leave significant informations out to distort the view in favor of corporations because you don't bite the hands that feed you or even own you.

  499. Ukrainians were free, sovereign, independant, prospering and wanted to pick their own leader for government. They voted out Putins puppet and choose one of their own. And they just want to continue living peacefull, free and sovereign until Putin ruined everything and turned their home into rubble and graveyards. And you now want them to surrender?

  500.  @nathanc6314  Tell Putin to get more english lessons.

  501. You kidding right? Americans and Russians shooting at each other equals to a world war. And Russia is a nuclear power. Middle East had not the risk of starting a war of this scale.

  502. Crimea was a part of Ukraine invaded and stolen by Putin. Donbas was a part of Ukraine invaded and stolen by Putin. And you expect them to continue like this?

  503. It's Ukraines decission. And they asking each week for more aid. The US, UK, France and Russia signed a treaty in 1994 Protection in exchange for destruction of nuclear weapons. This is one reason why the West helps with goods, ammo and weapons as long as Ukraine wants it. Sadly Ukraine is not in NATO or NATO could help defend.
    1
  504. Actually they seeking 1.5$ trillion (1,500,000 x 1,000,000) Euro. Matter was settled long ago. Ring-Wing Pro-Putin Polish government is seeking to solve it's desastrous economics and financial situtation ... and creating a little more tensions with Germany in order to push nationalism and push Poland even further right. If Germany is ever considering this money then only in exchange for the german territory which was taken away and given to Poland by sovjet russia. Until than this matter is settled.

  505. RT was originally banned for broadcasting without a license (they stopped paying). This is illegal in Germany. And DWNews not banned RT the german government did.

  511. Not everyone. Progressive Democrats in the US for example don't that why everyone else hate them. And Germans also don't.

  512. Maybe but Putin started this by invading Ukraine in 2008 and now again in 2022.
    1
  513. The storm damages in mainland china are much worse than reported. The CCP is massivly suppressing information and reporting about it because they are worried people see it as an end to their "Mandate of Heaven" one of the few believes Mao's revolution could not end. This time is especially bad because floods reached the center of China right there into the heart of government an area which is designed to not be flooded and hasn't been for a long long time.

  514. To not run into the arms of the invader creating all this destruction and death in the first place.

  515. Putin is selling grain as well maybe even more than Ukraine. This deal is protecting his own freighters from military assaults as well. This is like Putin threatening to punsh himself in the face a little more.

  519. Putin is the terrorist and a war criminal. And China is helping a war criminal fighting an illegal war.
    1
  520. And? Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, is all buyed in Euro.
    1
  521. It's a defacto blockade. They may call it just drills but they 1) break into the EEZ/territory of Taiwan uninvited and 2) their drills make any normal traffic dangerous since accidents happen. I think someone should give them a warning, an ultimatum to leave and finally a bloody nose to remind them where the border is.

  522. This article is about names? What is your point? P.S. And not only that from 450 years ago.

  523. This was Putin's plan. He used Trumps debt problems and helped him with money. Trump in return began to suggest pulling the US out of NATO. We have prove for this plan because former Trump assistents testified this. And if Trump did win a 2nd term he would have. Putin would immediatly use this weaknesss to invade the Baltic States for sure and potentially Poland and the remaining countries of the Warsaw Pact. Thanks but no thanks. The Soviet Union is dead and should stay in history.

  524. Have you not seen the Reporter running through the city of Kiev talking to Ukrainians?

  525. Putin started the war and violence not Zelenskyy.

  526.  @jaisriram295  There is a solution to that. The centrists need to drop their policy of greed and help the left solving problems and not trying to be an obstacle. If they don't they will disappear in the next election.

  527. Apparently you havn't payed attention to Chinese Economics recently.
    1
  528. Germany wanted to stop this way of conflict and instead build the EU with France to prevent something like that ever happening again. Sadly Ukraine not made it in time into the EU or things would look different today. I hope Germany can continue with the project when this war ends and who knows maybe can complete it by bringing even Russia into it so it really never happen again in Europe.
    1
  529. This is not correct. Ukraine having negotiations with Russia each week for the last weeks. It's just Putin wants a complete surrender of Ukraine - the only way Putin can still win this war.
    1
  530. The election is just for show and to stroke Putins narcissism/ego. Like in eastern germany before the wall fell. 98% and more results because you practically had no choice and got a visit from the Stasi (security buero) when you not voted. Putin was stationed in East-Germany right when that happened and applies this idea to Russia.
    1
  531. Check again. We can read the laws over here in Europe ... and they not look good.

  532. More like leaking on allies. I bet the allies are not ammused that the US lost control over high-level intelligence ... again.

  533. When they made this appointment they did not incorporate the problem of Putin having an international arrest warrent? Why Do I get the feeling the CCP loves this being alone with the others?
    1
  534. Taiwan is the real China. The mainland was founded by Chinese Communist Rebels who's first task was to destroy history, religion and all which related to the old china before them. Unfortunatly the rebels won and the real China needed to retreat to the Island of Taiwan. The current Taiwan shows what Mainland China could be, what it should have been. The soul and ancient history was preserved on Taiwan it's a treature trove of Chinese Culture ... and must be preserved.

  535. Maybe. But Putins constant bombings not only hit the civilians with weapons defending their home but also the families and people without sitting in basements.

  536. Biden can be voted out of office in 2024. Putin cannot he made himself king ... or should I say Czar.

  537.  @radvalve205  Read again. In 2024 ... if the US citizens deciding to do so.
    1
  538. That's rubbish. Finland has to put 2% of their GDP into military expenses ... like every other NATO member. Everyone pays for himself. The US never get any money from any other NATO member this was a lie perpetuated by Trump and the US Right-Wing that some NATO member somehow "not pay their dues." But even if ... the US would have never seen any cent of it because everyone pays for himself. The idea is to ensure that everyone has enough military ready to send troops to other NATO members. Nothing more nothing less.

  539.  @jerrymiller9039  Republicans had 2 1/2 years to show any evidence of it. And it's not that they not tried. They recounted all swing states twice and some even a 3rd time. The only result was that Biden even had a handfull votes more. And there are only a couple real election fraud cases not 10, not 100 and certainly not 11800.

  543. What coup? Do you mean Pregoshins little army last year? Yeah that worked so well that they had to give up because it was more successfull than planned. Who had thought that Russia is so easy to invade and take over.
    1
  544. He only said it would be better for all if Putin is not in power. And I agree with him on this. The problem is Putin cannot be voted out of office anymore he changed the laws and prevent free and fair elections in Russia. So I support any measure to remove him even to the point of killing him if he is not willing to step down.
    1
  545. Not doing something would be even worse. Do you want medium rare or burned?

  546. They are busy defending the people which is more important than destroying Putin's Palace on Crimea.

  550. Russian people are not the problem, just their government ... or should I say Czar.
    1
  551.  @adityanarayan9863  And? NATO would never invade or attack Russia it's a 1st tier military and nuclear power. Your argument is ridiculous. Putin is already bordering 4 NATO countries, with Ukraine this increases to 7.
    1
  552. That it failed.
    1
  553. Put them to work.
    1
  554. The difference between a political prosecution and justified prosection is solid evidence. And in this case there was enough of it that a grand jury who looked at it said "yes we have to indict this former president". They would never have gone so far if they hadn't overwhelming evidence.

  555. You know not many Germans watch this channel because it's in english and there are tons of german speaking channel and TV stations. This channel is meant for foreigners not for Germans.

  556. I remain sceptic until an autopsy and DNA match confirming it. The best way for Progozhin to escape retaliation by Putin is to pretend to be dead and he is roughless and rich enough to make it look good.
    1
  557. That the family and/or women would not be able to support it. Or the area has no medical facilties for babies. No affordable housing available. Or maybe the woman is alone and couldn't afford childcare. Or maybe the woman just not get enough wage to support a child. And forcing parents to give up their babies for adoption because they cannot afford it is cruel and turning people into baby machine and is in a way like selling babies. If you want a baby ... make your own!

  559. I don't worry about Trump. Trump's supporters cannot be more devoted than they already are. And this is not providing him with more votes from the moderates. Quite the oppossit all this is costing him votes from the block of independent voters and moderate Republicans who would vote a Democrat against Trump, but not against any other GOP candidate.

  560. Russias foreign secretary hold a speech on that. It is clear Putin is involved somehow.

  563. Looks like war to me. Worse than other wars even.

  565. Tell Winny the Poo "Xi" Ryan to give you more english lessons.

  566. If you think it will remain at 3 terms or that the party conference had any other choice you are naive. The succession is decided by just a handful people months in advance of this conference this here is just for show. Xi Jingping has removed all rivals or potential dangers for him. In addition to that a rising personality cult and extreme nationalism has appeared. Xi Jingping wants to have the status of Mao or even surpass him and he uses every means necessary to get there. Unfortunatly he is an uncharismatic, below-average, incompetent and ignorant politician and diplomat with a high degree of insecurity and personality problems who will just waste 20 years of progress in China before him. With each year passing Xi appear and behaves more like an emperor then a simple head of state. Overall China has political changed very little we are in the CCP-dynasty and Xi Jingping is just the newest emperor in this dynasty.

  567. They are in trouble because Putin invaded their home which was save, free, independant and peaceful before Putin turned it into battlefield.

  568. Some things are worth dying for. Home, country, peace, freedom, self-determination for you, your family, your kids, your friends and your countrymen. Survival is not everything.
    1
  569. Have to agree. I feel very sorry for the Russian people. They deserve better. Instead they have a thief who steals their money and resources from them for personal gain and throws them constantly in military conquests and wars instead of trying to gain western levels of civilization. I hope one day Russia has a better government and consider joining the EU and we can finally put the 20th century behind us.
    1
  570. Without a proper context such discussions are problematic and way to politicised. Face it Europe get 1/3 Gas from Norway, 1/3 from Russia and 1/3 from other source including the US. It booms at the moment because the EU tries to become Carbon-neutral and one of the early steps is to replace coal again gas to reduce emission on the short-term. In the long-term (2050) gas and coal are doomed.
    1
  571. FYI: Even while Germany not payed exactly 2% it was more spending than the entire United Kingdom. And all into defense because of WW2.
    1
  572. You cannot just drive into the EEZ of a country and start making drills without their consent. Normally this is seen as an act of war. If China tried that close to the US or the US close to China we would have a war by now.

  573. The video told to have an excuse not to fullfill the contracts because the pump thing run out.

  575. It's really sad to watch but the GOP is blaming all the problems - a lot of them caused by 40 years of GOP politics - on immigrants because they cannot vote, have no money and no power. Why do you think your life gets better without them? Are you really sure a undernutritioned person with a horrible journey is responsible for your problems? Why do you look down when you want to solve your problems? Look up!
    1
  576. I disagree. Trump was and the rest of the World is agreeing with this except Putin, Xi, Assad, the little guy from North-Korea, Erdogan, Bolsenaro.
    1
  577. Maybe. But this is not primarily why Germany needs it. It's needed for chemical processes and manufacturing. And creating it from renewable energies sources is better for the planet than using natural gas like now.
    1
  578. Putin invaded Ukraine. There was peace before that and people were alive and well. And the cities were not destroyed.
    1
  579. You may not like it but America and Canada need this. Both countries have less than the needed 2.1 children per family. And you need this to maintain a population and not create a demographic problem. In fact you should be happy. Young adults can be directly put to work. No growing up, no schooling, decent health which would all be burdens for society they can directly contribute.
    1
  580. Because neighter Ukraine nor Nato ever considered invading Russia. Just the idea to start a war with a Tier 1 military power is preposterous.
    1
  581. Maybe not Russia, but Putin for sure.
    1
  582. Out of necessity I believe due to the war and the economic sanctions to lessen the impact. But it is a dangerous cooperation because China would make Russia a protectorate in an instant or even consume parts of it if possible for land and especially for ressources.
    1
  583. And all the other nuclear power like America, France, Britain have enough to eradicate every inch of Russia in retaliation 10 times. Don't fool yourself but the second Russia throws one the world is doomed.
    1
  584. You think they will sit still? Besides both together have enough to eradicate the whole planet multiple times. So it will not be much left after this from any of us.

  585. For the rest of the world Putin is for over 8 months in a war, the only one not admitting it was Putin and the people believing his media. So ... who cares.

  586.  @raclark2730  I have not said there is a higher frequency of storms. I said there are more stronger and less weaker ones. This does not change the frequency but the average strength.
    1
  587.  @raclark2730  If the storms are not your thing, maybe the drouts and heat is. Europe had a record one this year so intense that the river-transport traffic had to be suspended due to low water levels. Or China which has seen monuments at the bottom of rivers for the first time ever. Or India fighting 50°C. Or Pakistan drowning in above-average rain. Or if you prefer America. Let's talk about Lake Mead reaching century-record lows due to weak snow pack for a decade. Climate change has tons of different forms.
    1
  588.  @raclark2730  Fear list? Fact list! These are not opinions this is counting. It happened. Each year new records (also not opinion but counting). And it continues to happen. Look I would be more then happy being wrong on this because I have to live on this planet as well and will feel the results as much as you will. So let's say: I hope I am wrong, but I fear I am right. And so far the events did not prove me wrong.
    1
  589.  @raclark2730  Reduce emitting gases which helps heating up the oceans like CO2 and Methan ... just to be sure. But you or I cannot do much or better the things we personally do have little effect. The best we can do is voting for people who have the power and willpower to do more and the access to research to make the right decission. Not too expensive not too little leading to a gradual change of economy without crashing it.

  590. Subsidies are only a problem for companies who compete from outside the Single Market. And frankly companies in the EU have nothing to worry about. 500 mio people. The largest and richest market on the planet. Why do you think everyone wants to sell in the Single Market and have access to it.

  591. Behave yourself. And terrorists would never use this way they just come as tourists or trader or as crew. If they want to they find a way, but they will certainly not doing this stunt.
    1
  592. Because Russia occupied East-Germany for 40 years. And those weapons came from the dissolved East-German Army called NVA.
    1
  593. The strongest sanctions in human history are not exactly nothing. Sending food, medicine, ammunition and weapons for self-defense is not doing nothing. It is the only help the world can send without starting a war with Russia in Ukraine. If Ukraine would be a NATO member NATO could send troops for defense.
    1
  594. To not have to use them. If you want a war than I demand you are standing in the Frontline. Still okay with it? EDIT: Just to prove your point. The world has enough nuclear weapons to destroy this planet 10 times. Do you suggest we should use them because they are there?
    1
  595. If you destroy cities and target civilians and prevent civilians to escape from bombings, when you mine escape corridors for civilians, when you prevent humanitarian goods to reach civilians and when you use cluster-bombs in residentials areas you are a war criminal.

  596. NATO is there to prevent some of the serbs resuming killing civilians for being not serbian.

  597.  @angelheart3011  Well I thought more about government actions to regulate bussiness here because it's more impactful. But of course people can do some things as well. - Eating less meat or try even vegan - Exchange petrol cars with e-cars - Try using public transport more instead of your cars - Less travel with Airplanes, more with electric trains - Less Holidays especially ones requiring long airplane travels - Build Solar Panels on your roof - Buy Regional products - Not buy products on Amazon and Co. from Companies using CO2 emissions and prefer emission-free products. Small to medium things everyone of us can do.

  601. You really think distance matters if you have enough firepower to eradicate the planet 3 times over? Maybe this was the case 75 years ago but since than a lot of development happend. Besides Putins lie not really make sense does it. When Putin invades Ukraine than Putin borders 7 NATO countries directly.

  603.  @louistournas120  It's actually part of the constitution so yes there are legal limits. And having your own or allowing others to place some are two entirely different things especially if the latter makes you a target when America goes to war with someone.

  608. Not on DW News. They get their money directly from the german people. No government involvement. No ads. No companies. They can say what they want, when they want and how they want.

  611. 4) Taiwan don't want to be taken over and share the fate of Hong Kong. Same as Ukraine not wanted to be taken over by Russia. Why are the people who actually living there asked last? This election showed what people want. Peace but no takeover. No independence but status-quo. Some relations but no puppet regime from Bejing.
    1
  612. DWNews is directly funded by german people without involvement of the government. They are truely independent, no ads and no government funding. They can say what they want and how they want. And they are not put into prison for telling this ... except in Russia.

  613. Putin has a major problem: He can lie about Ukraine on TV, but he cannot lie on soldiers not returning home to their families and friends. Each dead soldier turns 1 to 20 people against him. And everyone only consuming TV will start to ask whats wrong. Add to this that Russians do not like Ukrainian Civilians be killed and that normal russian soldiers or even conscripts might be even less willing to kill Ukrainian bretheren and civilians. Solution: Find people who have no moral issues killing civilians or killing Ukrainians.
    1
  614. DWNews is an agent of the Truth.

  615. Just look at American politics it the perfect example how this is treated: - Oil makes good money - Oil pays politicians to ensure this does not change - Oil gets billions and billions of subsidies every year from the American taxpayer although they are super-profitable already - Laws are made (Inflation Reduction Act) giving subsidies for Green energy only when you invested in oil. Basically making sure Exon, Shell & Co. now gets all oil profits and tomorrow all hydrogen profits. No Start-ups. - Internet trolls and politicians are payed and deployed to prolong the transition as long as possible
    1
  616. They are independent. No adds from or for anyone and directly funded by all german people. No taxes though the german government has no control over them.
    1
  617. Another theory on that: It is harvesting season for grain right now. Is it possible Putin just wants to prevent a price drop due to oversupply diminishing his own grain profits he so desperatly needs because of the other sanctions? European farmers have planted much more grain than usual and there is certainly more than enough supply available. And with a little luck he manages to maintain the profits and even get some sanctions lifted by holding a knife to the throat of Africa.

  618. I have enough of the speculation I only want facts. But at least you mentioned that this is just your opinion by saying "I can bet" and I thank you for that. Others just write it like facts not personal opinion.

  621.  @buravan1512  CNN is owned by a billionaire/corporation. DW is owned by noone and getting their funding without influence of the german government directly by the people. They not even have to be profitable just stay in the budget. They can say what they want and how they want.

  622. China and Russia are just waiting for cracks in NATO. Let's assume the worst scenario and Americans leaving NATO after Trump got a 2nd presidency. China would immediatly accelerate plans to start a war in the pacific and Russia in Europe. However it would also mean the EU will push forward their plans for it's own united military. Trump would make Europe less of an ally or perhaps even an enemy and lost control and influence by Europe having their own army then and Trump would stand alone with a fight against China. Trump is dangerously incompetent and thinks he can deal with people like Putin or Xi with appeasement.
    1
  623. The EU is no government and has no own sovereignity. It's a confederation of independent states on trade, economy, cooperation. Strong und United to the outside, diverse to the inside. Having said that. I hope Polish People will choose a better government at some point.

  624.  @matt-eu-poland  I am very Pro-EU, for more alignment and more cooperation but I am against make a country out of the EU for the time being. We don't really need it and quite frankly Europe is not ready for this Brexit proven it and some nationalistic movements proven this. People need time to adjust and getting used the idea and Europe will change due to the Ukrainian events recently.

  627. There are so many new battery technologies on the verge of industrial use. Is Lithium really that important? Yes today because it is state of the art technology but tomorrow not so sure when simple natrium could replace it? In any case I'm sure Putin prefers to have over not to have so this makes sense. But the areas he tries to control and he tries to take over on the negotiation table are resource rich with not just Lithium.

  628. What's your point? Russia can do this now because others done it in the past? Or what Russia does is not as bad? Both where bad, and one is happening right now. Hhowever the Iraq people were not exactly in peace and safety and free with this wannabe dictator Hussein and his thugs.

  636. It's not a failure. Still running and every year there are more of them. But Germany has the same problem it had 10 years ago: It's not the most sunniest place on the world. And making green hydrogen large scale so it can replace the blue hydrogen made from Natural Gas simply isn't viable.
    1
  637. Makes no sense. A prospering Ukraine is much better for everyone. Only Putin hates it because it shows Russians there is a better way ... a way without him and his corrupt system of Oligarchs.

  639. Heating of homes cannot be quickly replaced with electricity. That why at least temporary Europe need to buy LNG to offset Putins 41%.
    1
  640. Because Ukraine is like us. They are free, sovereign, independant, peaceful, democracy and they are white (I know it should not matter but it does). And Putin just invaded them without a good reason and with so many lies that he needs to lie to his own people about it.

  644. Natural Gas was always a temporary energy source because it's "cleaner" (less CO2) than burning coal and can be used to make blue hydrogen. Both are designed to cut emission short-term and move to infinity energy and Green Hydrogen in the long run.
    1
  645. Maybe you not heared but they negotiating for 2 weeks now. However Putin is not really interested in peace he wants either victory or preferably victory by a total surrender and killing as much civilians as you can helps with this goal.
    1
  646. Germany is not using natural gas in gas power plants (very little) it's mainly used still in private homes for heating (not cooking this was replaced against electric mostly) but more importantly the industry is getting blue hydrogen out of natural gas for manufacturing and chemical processing. It's a temporary solution until homes are transitioned and hydrogen can be bought as green hydrogen or made as green hydrogen in Germany, e.g. during times of energy-overproduction by renewables.
    1
  647.  @pseudosoda9608  Hydrogen produced by renewable energy is called green hydrogen. And produced by natural gas is called blue hydrogen. And yes there is: It's called electrolyse. Unfortunatly it's very wasteful but if the energy is not needed anyway why not use it to make hydrogen.
    1
  648. 1/3 renewable and counting. Watt-wise Germany is one of the top renewable energy producers on this planet ... but for a highly-developed country with a lot of industry it's just not enough. And the key point here is getting hydrogen ... not electricity. Hydrogen can be made from natural gas and with that called blue hydrogen or from renewable energies by electrolysis which creates green hydrogen. Hydrogen is what some of the industries need in lack of natural gas. But there is not that much energy to make Green hydrogen large scale viable in Germany.

And no it was not because of "health issues" Hu shown signs of resistence to leaving the chamber, the person escorting him out was Xi's bodyguard not Hu's own and in any case if there were health issues Hu would not even have sit down in the first place. In addition to that this excuse with the "health issues" was only reported to foreign media not domestically. Well at least not right away until they saw the need for some explanations which does not look like a political coup.

  662. Best solution for all involved: Remove Putin from power. In a body bag if he refuses. Make free and fair elections in Russia to find a new leader. Call all army back home. Ends war in Ukraine, in Syria, stops the money flow to oligarchs, mercenary groups, bribed western politicans and media figures, less trolls on the internet, trade can be resumed. We might get some calm and peace finally on this planet because Putin's name pops up everywhere problems appear.

  686. Only because independence declaration would bear such a high risk of a military reaction from China. People want peace understandable. However this is risky still. It is a form of appeasement.

    1
  691.  @dsraverstar  Fair enough, but the point is the west have to increase supply to allow this. And most fossil fuel companies are salivating at the higher-prices at the moment. They could reduce the artifically inflated prices ... but they don't really want to. And they don't want to ruin the high price with more supply as well. So unless someone is regulating them (= mandating = forcing) they will not do it ... the profit motive is preventing it.
    1
  692.  @rack9458  Or they are deliberatly not used to keep the supply low and the price high ... especially on a finite resource. Oh and Biden did not cancel any licenses, quite the opposit he was forced to finalize all the ones Trump provided for wholesaleprices. Trump wasted the wealth of all American Citizens for a cheap price to a handful greedy fossile fuel companies who donated to the Republican Party and the Corporate Democrats.

  745. In absolute numbers Germany is spending more on military than the United Kingdom. It may be percentage-wise not quite 2% but it was still more than the UK. And remember they have Aircraft carriers. And they put everything into defensive weapons and military because they are by constitution prevented to spend money on offensive weaponry.
    1
  746.  @worldofameiso5491  In 2020/2021 the UK spend 59,8 billion $ on military spending. Germany spend 63,8 billion $ in the same year. It is jsut 1.57% of GDP but it is more than the UK spends. And Germany has no Aircraft carriers or nuclear bombs.

EDIT: Oh and when this deal ends Putins freighters are military targets again as well. I know it looks so much better when you say "don't do it it is free grain for africa". Do you really believe Putin cares about any human besides himself and maybe his family? Have the last 2 years not shown you otherwise?
    1
  750.  @gaborrajnai6213  Sorry not making much sense for me. Trains are much more useful for this. Even ships are unloaded to trains and trucks as some point so why the extra mile? And what you are refering to is oversupply to the neighbours threatening their own farmers due to the price drop in grain. But the trains could just drive further the train network is reaching to Scotland and Spain from there.
    1
  751.  @Moabi4  So they get grain by trains or did in the past.

  752.  @Moabi4  But you just said they did since their neighbours tried to stop the imports. And I assume no ship would try to travel around Europe to reach for example Germany or Poland.

  757. You realize that noone pays "into" NATO right? NATO has a simple rule. Use 2% of your own countries GDP and invest it in your military. This is how NATO works. And this is to make sure when a NATO member is attacked there are enough reserves available for defense. Now Germany has a serious problem. It is forbidden by law to have offensive weaponry and nuclear weapons due to WW2. If you have the worlds 4th largest economy and you cannot buy offensive stuff you have insanely much defensive stuff which is only rotting away ... until Ukraine admittingly.

  769. Not as symbolic as you think. For the EU Russian Gas is only 1/3 of all, but for Putin it's 5% of GDP. So ... Germany: Dear Putin, US want to impose sanctions on us because of Nord Steam 2. Drop Lukaschenko or we drop Nord Steam 2. What America forget's in this is, Russia currently needs Germany more than the other way around. Cooperation sometimes pay off more than confrontation and dependencies can cut both ways. Germany or better the EU is getting really good at multi-lateralism with 50 years of EEC/EU experience as proof and it works better every year a little more.

Russia fallen for someone who pretended to care only to fill his pocket to somehow remake a "better" version of the Soviet Union or should I say imperium. Russia really should ask European countries like France and Germany for recommendations in how to make a real, stable, free, fair and lasting Democracy.

  775. You have not understood how NATO funding works. Noone is paying America. Every NATO member has to put 2% of GDP into it's own military that's it. So American money is not flowing into Europe and vice versae. But I guess you knew that already but tried to spread some misinformations.

  776. Putin is unstable. He might actually do it once attacked or pushed into a corner. NATO is there to defend NATO members and for that a NATO member must be attacked. Ukraine is unfortunatly not a NATO member.

  777. Shadow tankers should be controlled for issues. Fine them on issues so hefty that running as a shadow tanker becomes unviable. And if they cannot pay impound the ship. Also: Take a sample of the oil. I'm sure you can chemically prove the oil is coming from russia. If it is confiscate the oil for breaking sanctions.

  778. 1) There is no NATO in Ukraine 2) Ukraine is not a NATO member and until Putin invaded and stolen Crimea they did not ask for NATO membership.

  786. India is not really impartial on this. Moji wants 5 rocket defense system from Putin and already got 1 but payed for all 5 five already. The west could see it as an attempt to undermin western embargo measures by still doing bussiness with Putin.

  787.  @santagemma6212  India pretends to be impartial on this ... but it isn't. It's activly helping Putin. India is of course free to do what it wants, but pretending not to have dealings and not involving itself with Europe (and that includes Russia) makes this a lie. And assuming India is going further than that the west should treat India accordingly for example reducing foreign aid.

  790. Now what makes Nancy Pelosi on the MSC? She is not government. She is not a Senator. She is not the speaker. She is not involved in Security Committee nor the chair of any since the GOP has a majority. I tell you why: To get insider-information so she can invest on that. The only reason which makes really sense. And to lobby for her donors.

  791. I'm sorry but this is power. Germany uses Natural Gas only to 15% for power and mainly for heating homes, water, cooking and for industry. And you cannot use nuclear power to replace petrol unless you managed to replace 100 mio or so cars to electro in an instant. Germany imports 55% of its Gas and 40% of it's oil from Russia ... not everything.

  800. Making steel in America is more costly which in turn means all industries down this supply chain will have to raise prices for their products as well. So tarrifs or more domestic production you have higher costs. It forces you to raise tariffs on those products as well to protect your domestic production. And exports of those goods have a higher prices which lowers export demands. It is a disaster no matter how you look at it. Unless you stop exporting alltogether and only produce for the domestic market.

  801. Democracy has nothing to do with Democrats and republic has nothing to do with Republicans. Republic = Has No King (from latin "res publica" = by the public) Democracy = Power by the People (from ancient greek "demos" = people and "cratos" = power) The UK for example is a parlamentary monarchy. They have a king but also democracy.

  803. Calculation is very simple: More Guns ... More Shootings And to make matters worse: The weakest who are most interested and the largest danger for this kind of violence can buy guns more easily than cars. And to make it even more worse: Red States who have more of those individuals also have even weaker laws than the rest of the US. And to make it even worse: Even States who try to create saver environments by law are now overridden by SCOTUS because the Right to wear a gun is apparently more important than the right to life. And why is it like that? Because the gun industry is "donating" to politicians to do nothing or even make it easier to get a gun because a million to politicians to maintain things as they are is cheaper than hundreds of millions of extra profits. It's good bussiness.

  805. Invading another independant, free and sovereign country and killing not only soldiers but also tens of thousands of civilians is topping all of this because death is final ... Unless you want to trade places with them? Do you know how India could help? By joining the rest of the world against Putin and stop trading ... especially the discounted oil Modi is buying in large amounts. The indian government is helping to fund the Ukrainian war as well.

  807. It's not so easy. Germany is very dependant but not fully. 55% of Natural Gas and 40% of Oil comes from Russia the rest from other sources. On top of that Germany has large underground storages for Natural Gas they are not empty they contain enough for this winter and the next winter partly.

  814. Even if Zelenskyy would fall all of Ukraine would continue this fight for freedom and independence. Zelenskyy is just one figurehead but every Ukraininian is fight for the same goals. Crimea belongs to Ukraine. It was stolen 8 years ago. Donbas belongs to Ukraine. Even Russian speaking population wants to remain with Ukraine. Zelenskyy was voted twice into office by free and fair elections ending Putins puppets in Kiev. If anyone is a dictator than it's Putin who put all rivals into prison or poisoned them who is putting protestors into prisons, bans the Truth and all media not willing to lie for him and who stayed longer in office than even Russian laws allowed it ... so he changed them and made himself a Czar in all but name.

  830. There is hardly any other nation is Europe who done more with solar and wind than Germany. However people use it in Europe to heat homes and for industry and blue hydrogen. You cannot replace it quickly or sometimes even not at all with electricity. And nuclear is a problem on it's own. Nuclear waste has no long term storage solution to this day. It's a costly and highly problematic topic for thousands of years. And all the current storage facilities are designed for 20 years or 50 years but not for 25,000 years as some of the waste requires. But what makes nuclear fission worse is the calculation in the event that something happens. Maybe it is extremly low, maybe the risk is just 1 : 100,000,000 but the costs resulting in a castastrophic failure are so extremly high that it cannot be ignored. Imagine you had a meltdown in the middle of Europe and 500 mio people are subject to radiation and 1/3 of Europe has to be evacuated and cannot be used for anything anymore. It would be an economical and financial disaster.

  831. If you would know anything real about this topic you would know that you cannot just build a factory in China. You have to make a chinese company which is partly owned by the government and make a joint-venture with them. While doing so you are not only forced to share the profits but you also allow them to copy your secrets and open your financial books to the chinese government. And your joint-venture partner in china will be selecting the workers and the middle-management.

  836.  @michalslusarski2962  Why is leaving 10 percent uncultivated a green policy and a problem? As far as I am aware the farmer get compensation from the EU by it which seems not bad getting money for nothing and this is done to not oversaturate the market. Do you have other examples? Because the rest of your text only contains empty talking points and maybes nothing substancial.
    1
  837.  @michalslusarski2962  I just told you they get compensation (money) to leave it empty. You complain about "too much farm products" and you want to have even more. Please make up your mind. Besides leaving land uncultivated for a while is excellent for the ground and for nature in the area. In addition to that. The EU has stricts import tariffs and policies for food imports. You can ask the UK about that. For Ukraine was made an exception because they are currently invaded. Sorry you didn't convinced me. P.S. It is "EU" not UE".

  856. The message is not climate change is doing this but climate change make it worse. And yes this news agency is not getting ad-money from fossil fuel companies like MSM or Fox in America they can say what they want and how they want without making any ad-companies angry. And when something unusual happens they will report it. And your observation is right, the frequency is increasing.

This is 7.8 Trillion $ over 10 years (remember Senate not wanted to pay 1.5 Trillion $ over 10 years for "Build Back Better" to help US people) but leaving this aside. Although Afghanistan is over the military budget was extended by 40 bn this year just a month ago or so.

    1
  888.  @canada9436  Maybe this is another reason why noone is let in or out of this city because eye-witness accounts would allow the Truth to surface and it might hurt either or even both sides. Look when Azov did morally questionable things during the siege I want to know but Russia is raining death all day over the city so if anyone is killing someone than it's Putin. He could stop that if he wants to but he wants Mariupol no matter what to have his land connection to Crimea a land which does not belong to him anyway and he was willing to eradicate a whole city for that no matter how many die. And it is not the first city Putin raised to the ground I remind here of Aleppo and Grosny. Putin is an evil man, a butcher and an enemy of humanity.

Of course the income inequality needs to be addresses here but there are ways to improve above that and deal with climate change relevant stuff at the same time.

  895.  @scratchy996  It may work in Germany. Germany has only small to mid-sized farms due to the development of the land and high average population density. None of these big and mega farms you find in Australia, Ukraine or America.

  897. Every country has "biolabs". A lab for searching the cure for cancer is a bio-lab. Ukraine inherited the Soviet Labs in 1992 and America promised to help cleaning them up safely without infecting half of Ukraine. Now those labs need to be cleaned out before Putin hits them with his missiles and spread everything uncontrolled. Or worse: Putin is using a bio or chemical weapon and just say "it came from one of the labs" to hide that he used it. Thats why they need to clean them out quickly.

  911. The fighting started when Putin invaded Ukraine and send tanks and soldier to take over their home and country. Ukrainians just want to peacefully continue life in a free, independant and sovereign country.

  912. The Republican Party was taken over via greed, legal bribery and media massivly misinforming the people by people who not intend to live in a democracy (power by the people by votes) or a republic (not having a King). You cannot have people in the political system who's goal is to end the political system.

  915. Congrats Chile. You voted against your self-interest ... again. You complain that life is terrible, you complain that nothing gets done ... and yet when you have a chance you cling to what little you have left because you allow media to fear you into thinking you would lose even that ... by a heap of misinformations.

  916. Let me quote from a movie series on this. And just replace "galaxy" with Russia and "imperium" to Putin: There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. Alone unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occuring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalians that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this ... the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.

  917. We already did, by releasing in 200 years what nature needed 2 mio years to take out. We also managed to create the ozon layer problem and to stop the ozon problem simply by stop using those dangerous chemicals destroying the ozon layer (well all countries but China anyway). We already did change the planet multiple times.

  919. Than why are the young people fleeing russia in droves. Russia is losing it's future over this insanity. The solution is simple: Remove Putin and make a real democracy in Russia. And to give Russia more security Russia should apply for NATO membership maybe this will fix the worry about the West invading. And who knows if things run smoothly even EU membership in 10 to 20 years.

  921. Until this report I never heared anything about both leaders and to be honest most of my knowledge about Pakistan comes from the movie Ghandi and Ms Marvel. I have no advantages or disadvantages or any stakes in this and Pakistan is far far away. That being said ... never trust a populist. Populism is designed on lying and exaggeration. Talk and big-up the popular stuff and leave out the unpopular stuff. The problem with this: Reality is often boring and most about it are things you don't like. By only talking about popular stuff you distort reality. And you need politicians to deal with the bad stuff arguably even more. Good decissions are often unpopular decission. Only doing the popular stuff is creating more problems than they solve. How often do you do things you like and want to do but deep down you know they are not good for you. So with populism you automatically get a liar by design. Good campaigners no doubt ... but terrible politicians and often also terrible human beings.

  925. Putin tried to remake the Sovjet Union but not based on a modern model of a federation with friendship, equality and cooperation like in the EU but under the old model of central government and oppression if not even military occupation like in the Sovjet Union in the 20th century. And regions simple don't want to lose their freedoms again.

  928. Turkey is in NATO already this is why Putin likes it so much as his puppet in there. This is why Turkey can block Swede's application to NATO. But I agree on the other Turkey as it is not ready for EU membership.

  929. Noone is sanctioning Ukraine. Putin is preventing any logistics here so if anyone sanctions Ukraine than it's Putin.

  930. Europe and the US are closer then ever before on the topic against autocracies. Biden fixed what Trump almost destroyed ... unity of Freedom-supporting Democracies against autocracies like Russia or China. And both countries don't like it very much. And since Taiwan is one of the most free and best working Democracies on this planet there is a natural friendship between Europe and the US with Taiwan.

  933. It may be the last war of Europe. When Russia gets rid of Putin and turns into a real democracy without the Sovjet ballast and corruption of the last 30 years than Russia can start trading with the EU and join the EU in 15-20 years. It will make an end to all conflicts in Europe.

  935.  @jasonplante191  It's called "tactical voting" you remove candidates who had lost anyway to help a party you would rather work with. And the other party is doing the same for you. A little horse trading it is not illegal. Happened in Britain last week as well and because the conservatives ruined the country in 14 years and pushed the most expensive mistake in british history Brexit.

  940. Just the russian government. The Russian people are not the problem they are victims like the Ukrainians but are made to believe Putin has their best interest in mind which is rubbish Putin only cares about himself and he is robbing Russia riches in the meantime.
    1
  941. That the border is open is a plain lie. It is as "open" as under Trump - Biden did almost change nothing since Trump. He ended the cruel Trump policy of seperation of kids from their parents and under his watch the Covid regulations sun-setted which Trump put in place to prevent Covid coming into the country. But that's it. Biden is badly critizised from the left side of Democrats for that because the migration number world-wide skyrocket it's not just an American problem.

  942. The UN is toothless and Russia blocks all actions by veto anyway. The US made sure the UN is like that ... toothless. But they are not alone. Russia and China also want to make sure UN is powerless.

  944. I've seen war blogger claiming there are Russian troops involved fighting on the side of Ukraine. How much truth is to these claims? Would explain why Putin is using the wording "terrorists" implying own people. Ukraine is at war with Russia they are combatants if they attack on Ukrainian or Russian territory.

  945. I disagree. Once the war is over and Russia returns home the rebuilding will create a new boom in the EU.

  946. Read the damn laws. They make overturn election easier not harder and voting harder not easier. Republicans under the disguise of "Making them saver" actually made them weaker. Clever ... but really really bad for American Democracy.
    1
  947. And? This is too cold for Finland at this time and too warm for India and too wet in Australia. It's was never just heat. Yes global warming is the core issue because there is too much energy in the oceans due to climate change gases keeping the heat in the atmosphere and slowly heating it up. More heat means more water in the atmosphere making all even worse and leading to more extreme rainfalls. This energy and the water in the atmosphere is the engine for our weather and like in a car ... more energy = more speed = more extreme weather cold, hot, dry and wet.
    1
  948. Democrats did not changed any voting rights. They worked for decades even when Republicans won. Why are they suddenly not okay anymore? The Republicans are now the ones making them weaker while telling everyone they make them stronger. Very clever ... but also very evil.
    1
  949. Well Trumps goal (as are Republicans and Democrats) are selling oil and gas for world market price. And the US has tons of unused natural gas just being burned as a side-product of fracking in addition to actual resource fields. They'd love to sell it but it's some of the most expensive gas on the planet. Manchin is a coal baron and is currently seeking a Bill in Congress which would make him a gas baron as well just for starters (Note: That Congress allows him to sit on the energy committee is ridiculous. He basically makes decissions to make himself richer.)

  950. Go ahead Putin. Martyr's cannot be undone. Your days are already numbered since you cannot revert the last 4 weeks. Everything you do now will only accelerate your demise. Want an advise? Retire and enjoy the last years of your life in peace. But if you put one step into a western country you will be prosecuted for crimes against humanity and your life will end in prison. And if you stick to power you will end up dead in your throne.

  951. EU and America both started building their own semiconductor manufacturing (again ... it started there long long ago). Both to make it more reliable but also to stop the dependency and trade interruptions like the freighter in the Suez canal and also because the overall demand has grown and competition is good for bussiness.
    1
  952. It means Putin is scared of Russia turning against him. And especially the army turning against him. Putin is using the media to keep the russian people in check and divided so they cannot join up against him ... but the army is another matter.
    1
  953. Trump almost started a nuclear war with Iran. But in the end Trump did something much worse. Starting a war in his own country costing more lifes than all world wars and conflicts together ... by ignoring and ridiculing Covid.
    1
  954.  @fernandoribeiro7738  If Trump would have taken Covid serious and from the beginning 200,000 people could still be alive ... more victims than all wars and conflicts of the US together. And worse the uncertainty Trump seeded continue on into Bidens presidency. Fox and Right-Wing media helped spreading the lies. It raised the total number of Covid-deaths unecessarily. And it got even worse by the vaccine-hysteria. So the final number of dead Americans Trump is responsible for is even much much higher than this.
    1
  955.  @fernandoribeiro7738  Why do you suddenly bring in other countries. This is just about Covid in America hitting Americans. Other countries made mistakes too, but our debate was just about America and Trump.

  956. If you mean 40% of the Natural Gas of the 15% Gas Power Germany uses to make power which DWNews needs to make and post this video yes. But there is no money or funding. DWNews is funded by direct payments of each German citizen without the government, without taxes without ads of anyone. They can report freely and independant.

  957. You cannot Re-Unite something which was never united. And if anything than Chinese mainland should reunite with Taiwan. Mainland are the communist rebels who destroyed most of chinese culture, history, religion which could only preserved because the real China retreated to Taiwan.

  958.  @xi1864  The communists were the Rebels who split the country. The real China retreated to Taiwan. EDIT: And I find it ironic that you base your claim on ancient chinese history. The first thing Mao destroyed and eradicated in his revolution. EDIT (2): If you do in China what you do here you get arrested for impersonating. But I guess it's not that of a problem because this website is not reachable for normal Chinese people ... ignoring the language barrier of course.

  962. Because it's not happening. The difference between political prosection and legal prosection is the presence of evidence. And in Trumps cases multiple grand juries were so convinced about the material that they agreed to indict Trump. I have however a case were it is political. The GOP trying to link Joe Biden to Hunter Biden. Hunter gets his trials because he did wrong but there is no evidence whatsoever to Joe Biden but the GOP still makes hearing, saying something of "tomorrow we get the evidence" holding hearings with witnesses leading to no evidence. Someone could think the GOP is trying to use the justice system against Joe Biden.

  970. 40% dependent on Russian Natural Gas needed for heating homes, water, for cooking, for industry, to make some power and to make Blue Hydrogen. 40% can be replaced and the spring in Germany is about to come. And there are still national reserves even if not full due to Gas price hike and the end of winter. And no Germany does not need Russian Oil. Germany and most of the EU gets it's oil and even some gas from Norway and Scotland.
    1
  971.  @Price_Action_Trades  Because Ukraine is not in NATO, there is no treaty not even the one of 1994 regarding the nuclear weapons the US and UK have. Because of a lof of bad history noone wants to repeat and because the German Constitution has put up a lot of hurdles regarding military again because of history and Germans not breaking their own rules.

  975.  @JL-tm3rc  So you are for discriminating women? You are against affordable healthcare? Germany has no senate. They have a chamber of regions. And even the American Senate is some kind of chamber of regions. 2 senators from each state. What's the problem? You want water privatized? Ask Brits about that while the private companies make billions in profits but fill the waters with raw feces. Apply hose ban because there is not enough water pressure due to eroding infrastructure. Or ask the citizens of Jackson, Missisippi about their private water company not sending water for a week now ... while having raised the price this year and still making profits. You are against affordable housing? You prefer people getting homeless because the rent goes through the roof and housing is more expensive than ever before? Sorry ... not one point which seems bad ... or "communistic" for that matter. Try again!

  987. Joining NATO does not give the US any say over your country. And every NATO member is paying for their own army ... 2% of GDP to ensure NATO can defend when anyone of the members is attacked/invaded. NATO is like an insurance against invasions.

  990. It's Putin and his oligarchs greeds. It is never enough for him. And Putin wants to turn the clock back to Sovjet era as if that ever worked. In any case Putin ruined any cooperation between Russia and Ukraine for 2 generations minimum. The hate will live longer than he will.

  992. Assuming Le Pen had won last sunday she would have had the same problem as the other two wings now have. Not enough to rule alone they would have needed a coalition partner. Would Macron's centrist-wing make a coalition with the right-wing to have a majority? I wonder if it hadn't been better that way for the left-wing for the next election. If the new government is not quickly solving problems in the country and reduce income inequality populism will have an easy game next election. The problem for the right-wing is once they are in charge their overpromisses, lies and general incompetency come out. If the centrist now not help the left-wing making the country better. Left and center will take the blame and the right-wing will probably really get a majority in France and then they will dismantle democracy from within to ensure they stay in power even when people begin to notice.

  1001. The Russian People are not the problem. The governments they allowed to lead them are. One corrupt and greedy government after another. Russians should really have a long talk with European Democracies about making a true, free, equal, fair and long lasting Democracy. Something which benefits all Russians not just a few. I would even recommend Russians to have a look at Norway in how to make sure the resources of a country benefit everyone.

  1003. NATO cannot expand. A country must decide to join and apply. Ukraine asked once in 2008 after they voted out Putins Puppet in Kiev. It was denied. Since than nothing.

  1005.  @thaddeusramos3543  When I know what bias someone was I can deal with it. But when someone has a bias but pretending not to have one or worse a different one that is a problem. But this is opinion. Even more important are the facts and informations they need to be true. When I catch a channel intently lying to me or lying about their bias I stop listening. When I have a conservative channel who sticks to the Truth I have no issues watching them. But when someone is lying I stop watching.

  1010. 1) Technically the summer just began 2 days ago and we have 90 more days of this. 2) Yes it is hot in the summer, but deadly heat is not so often and happens more frequently. In addition to that we break heat records yearly now. This is not normal. This is a trend. 3) Yes the sun is currently on it's way to a solar max but the maximum will not be before 2025 and solar max means all EM radiation and not everything is reaching the atmosphere and/or converted into infrared/heat ... it is not enough to explain the extreme heat/weather events. Besides we hard solar maxes in the past as well ... without the records. Why do you try so hard to explain it away that climate change is making everything more extreme? There are so many signs around the planet. China is drowing in too much water, India is boiling for 4 months with superheat, Europe just had the wettest weather in May/June recorded and extreme flooding of rivers AND a long extended heatwave in Spain/Portugal at the same time.

  1017. Come one people Chinas numbers never were to be trusted. Every local governor reporting bad numbers is fired and replaced with someone else so they are bound to overreport growth and underreport decline. Sure they have growth however in 2019 it was the lowest for over 14 years and still at 10% or something and Covid will have it's effects. So I would be very very careful with that.

  1018. It is not illegal to reach a country (international law). It is illegal to reach it and not to apply for asylum (= undocumented) or to refuse to leave after asylum denied. Germany only wants to accelerate deportation of denied claims Edit: And of course of people who never applied.

  1020. No. And in the US you cannot as well. Immigrants (legal or illegal) cannot register to vote and not vote not even per mail-in voting. Only US citizens. However copying the German system is a good idea. Mandatory National-ID with 15 years. Auto-Register for voting. Auto-Send of Voting-Papers with the option to ask for mail-in ballots without needing a reason.

  1024.  @pittwm  Voting no longer on Sundays so people can no longer vote after going to church. Even less drop-boxes for ballots requiring people to drive much longer. Less voting-offices especially in Democratic areas meaning the people need to wait in even longer queues than before. Giving people who need to wait hours to vote food and water is no longer allowed. Laws to allow visit people in their homes (allowing voter intimidation). Republicans arranged laws so they have acceess to the ballots in the voting office while Democrats can't allowing voter intimidation and potential access to ballots before counting. Laws to allow Republican lawmakers to dismiss whole districts and refuse and dismiss certifications. Laws to make dropouts of registries easier without proper notice to the voter.

  1025. 1) Nord Stream 2 was never finished 2) The Pipeline through Ukraine is still there. 3) Russia build those pipelines not Germany. 4) Pipelines are only a part of Russias income ... and not everything ends up in the military. The money could have been used to provide Russian with a better life and lower taxes but Putin prefered to keep it all for himself and put it into the military. Germany has no decission over this Putin has.

  1026.  @jah1poland  1.57% GDP in 2021 64 bn $ and 2.05% GDP in 2022. More than France less than the UK. And yes. Technically NS2 finished but not certified which is has the same result ... not usable. Still. Putin could have used the money for civilian purposed there are more than enough problems in Russia to fix with this money. Putin decided on this not Germany.
    1
  1027.  @jah1poland  It's the planned spending of course since we are in 2022. And the other things you wrote are bla bla. The core issue is. Putin decides how the money is distributed not Germany. Besides Germany was not the only buyer. And if the gas is not coming by pipe it's coming by ship.

  1028. What coup? You mean the free election in Ukraine electing Zelensky? Yeah well contrary to Russia other countries actually have real elections not staged ones.

  1029. What is Putins own verdict? - For stealing the prosperity and future of his country and the Russian People. The prosperity which started to appear in Ukraine which he feared more than anything else because it shown Russian people there is a better way, that the gras is greener over there. Something which started to threaten his power and his wealth. What about the future of his soldiers dying pointlessly in Ukraine to take away the prosperity and future of Ukraine? What is his verdict for killing civilians and cities to destroy this future and prosperity just because he underestimated the will for freedom, for independence and for a better life in peace of Ukraine?

  1031. Since when are news supposed to be only about one country? DWNews makes news for the world not for Germany (germans usually speak german) and not only about Germany. And yes Japan is releasing ONCE low-radiated water they cannot clean further into the ocean. However China is releasing 10-times as much every single year. Why do you wonder is China complaining the loudest? Because attack is the best defense and every accusation is a confession.

  1033. I highly doubt it is just 30C. Heat alone is not the issue. It is the mixture between humidity and temperature which is deadly. Everyone living in South-China or Middle-Africa or South-America can tell you about it.
    1
  1034. Not really. Germany imports 55% of Natural Gas from Russia the rest from elsewhere. And those 55% of Natural Gas makes 7% of all Energy in Germany. This is not exactly threatening. Besides: Germany has numerous gas-storages, they are low but not empty. They will last this winter and partly next winter before they are empty. So no the EU can find solutions on this and the winter is almost over.

  1035. Putin has more than enough reason to worry: 1) He is at war with Ukraine busy trying to invade the country. Putin's demise will end it. 2) He is hated by young Russian's and families who lost loved ones for doing a pointless war. 3) His oligarchs fear him for suddenly falling out of windows. Putin's demise would end this. 4) The Russian army hates him for being used as cannonfodder. 5) The west would not mind seeing him dead to end the war (except the industrial military complex who make a killing - pardon the pun) 6) Believe it or not but Russia has an oppossition living in prisons and exil. Putin's demise would open a way for them to take over and lead the country to some kind of normality and potentially into a much brighter future. 7) Wagner Group is sick of the Ukrainia war, they loosing a lot of personelle there and want it end sooner rather than later their loses threaten the company. 8) Putin made a lot of enemies out of former partners and people who worked for him. 9) I believe there is a rather substancial bounty on his head. I believe there is hardly anyone more a target on this planet than Putin.

  1036. So this is why everybody bankruns in Russia.

  1041. There were no sanctions on natural gas. Putin closed the valves meaning Germany will buy the natural gas somewhere else.

  1042. Rubbish. A Lie can never be the Truth. A misinformation can be accidentally or intentionally considered the Truth but it will never become it. And in the end the Truth will always come out it's just a matter of time because Lies do not fit into reality at some point they make no sense or not do fit to other things while the truth does not have this problem.

  1045. How ignorant are you? Europe had it's share of war and destruction. Europe gone through 2 World Wars with complete destruction twice. That's why the EU was founded to prevent this ever happening again and replaced "growth by military conquest" with "growth by regional development". Guess who is still stuck in the 20th century here?
    1
  1046. Lavrov translated: Putin is unable to take Ukraine at this time but he wants to make sure he gets a 2nd chance. Until than he destroys as much as he can to make it easier for next time and demand all to give up their weapons.

  1048.  @Mata-Miramar  They trying for 4 years now ... there is simply no evidence for involvement of Joe Biden. Everytime they say "now we have it" it's an empty box. Hunter has done some things and will get his trial for his actions but there is no evidence whatsoever for any criminal actions of Joe Biden. And even if micraculously something turns up after so long and it's really bad I mean impeachment bad ... you just gonna end up with Kamala Harris as president. Funny result actually: The GOP would be making the first female non-white president.

  1051. Watching and taking notes. How strong is the unity of the west. How hesitent is the US, EU, NATO. How strong and hitting are the sanctions. How far you can push the West before they getting military active. Is the west willing to break their own rules. And all this knowledge will end up in a plan and decision about Taiwan and potentially other areas.

  1052. All of Americas problem are homemade. The wish to exploit your workers as much as possible lead to consumption side problems making you vulnerable to sudden tarrifs and strangle your internal market. The wish to produce more than you need domestically for even more profits makes you vulnerable to the world market price, tariffs and sanctions and supply chain issues.

The government has a voice in the board among 5 other voices that's all and the government not pickup the money this is taken in directly by the GEZ because media companies can be influenced by the funding process.

  1070.  @Shortman751  Biden wanted to invest 4,800,000 x 1,000,000 over 10 years into the US in form of Build Back Better. Than it was cut to 3.6 than 2.4 than 1.4 than split and now being 0.7 because of Manchin, Sinema and the GOP. Where is "America first" in this?
    1
  1071. Perhaps he did but from a state of total desolation and chaos Post-Cold War/post communism. But now Putin has the problem that the EU is showing how much greener the gras is over there and how much better life in Russia could be. Ukraines growing relations to the EU was a direct threat to Putin because Russia could see "oh life can be even better" why don't we have that?
    1
  1072. The problem with not informing is lying by omission. You lie also when you leave significant information out because it distorts the truth for example pretending nothing has been leaked by not reporting it. And so far DW News just told us that it was leaked, what has and some already known facts for example that some information look wrong. ... Just the facts. No opinion. No speculation.
    1
  1073.  @MrJdsenior  How can they make a "large picture" without knowing all the facts. It is naive to assume they know more than anybody else. What they do is filling the gaps with emotions, speculation, opinions and beliefs ... not what I want on my "news".

  1074. The last time a russian aristocracy - and don't be fooled Putin and his oligarchy of billionaires are the new aristocracy of Russia - the last time they ignored an unpopular war for too long communism came up and took over. Almost 110 years ago. And it was the end of the aristocracy in Russia.

  1075. Inflation not Standard of Living unless you mean the UK where Brexit lead to even more problems. China has the largest recession of the last 20 years incoming. Russia doesn't look better at all. This is like pointing to a flame on your neigbours house while your own house is already burning to the ground.

  1076. Has nothing to do with overpopulation. Scientists already changed their mind about overpopulation because evidence shown we not keep endlessly growing the numbers slowing down already. It all goes back to unstable 3rd world and developing countries, wars, disasters. People find it unbearable to stay in their homecountry.

  1077. I bet the English told this to the Americans more than 200 years ago as well.
    1
  1078. It sure goes into the wrong direction. Under Biden Americans now drills more oil than ever (even compared to Trump) and the most amount on this planet. And how does the so-called "energy independence" feel for Americans? Heat-waves in summer, supercold storms in winter, floods along the big rivers, Florida losing beaches and cannot get insurances anymore and the gas price is lower than before but still not everyones liking.
    1
  1079. Bullies only react to sudden and strong actions and resistance. Imagine the US would start to make drills so close to Chinese mainland.

  1083.  @nyoon690  No that's instinct there is no rationality behind it. And it has nothing to do with race we would make the tribe even smaller with white-only folk. Perhaps you wil reduce it to people of your state, county, town, district, neighbourhood, family and finally even only to you. We intuitivly try to make the problem smaller. You may dislike that and perhaps it's a human flaw but it's a built-in survival mechanism from the oldest part of our brain. It would be foolish to ignore it exists but being aware of this also gives you an opportunity: "Never let it come to that" meaning don't bring people into that state when they start doing that.

  1084. And make the Russian People suffer for the mistakes of their Czar?

  1089. Using white phosporus and cluster grenades is not really "new" (or noble). And the other "weapons" like killing civilians, war crimes, raping woman and children, pillaging, burning and destroying civilian buildings etc are also not really modern as well humanity done that for 12,000 years already and not really "noble" either. This war is everything else but noble.

  1090. Yeah you are right. It's just 1.57% but they intend to raise it to 2.05% this year.

  1091. And this makes what Putin does here is okay?
    1
  1092.  @maxfernandes8559  Because the US accidentally hit way too many civilians while Putin uses it as a military strategy. The US did not go there to kill civilians. Putin now does.
    1
  1093. Wrong. NATO is defensive. Always was. NATO was activated only once in 70 years on 9/11. It is true that some NATO members especially the US did military operations but they did that on their own not in the name of NATO and not with NATO support because NATO cannot be used for invasions.

  1104. They already do. Never heared of the EU Energy market. Germany provides wind, bio and some solar, Spain more solar, France nuclear, Scandinavia more wind and potentially tidal.

  1105. Several NATO members signed a treaty in 1994 with Ukraine to protect it in case of an attack in exchange for destroying their Nuclear Weapons. And Ukraine did. Unfortunatly in retrospect, with them Russia would not have invaded now.

  1106. Nationalization has nothing to do with communism. Germany still has a market economy and no planning economy like in communism. The railway in germany is also a stock company but Germany is 100% owner. All core services of an economy should be nationalized to make sure they are reliable, available, maintained, cheap ... even if they might not always be profitable. Energy, Water, Telecommunication, Local Transport, Waste-Disposal, Education, Healthcare, Social Care.

  1111. Putin is not using his own money for this war. He is bleeded Russias money dry.
    1
  1112. All the recipes. I'm pretty sure if Putin wanted he could create major constitutional crisis in the US, UK and EU countries by publishing who they bribed and what they received in return for this money. Especially the UK would be in tatters for months sorting out this chaos. And I think this is also the reason why some sanctions where not as strong as they could have been because some of those politicans are active government and fear what Putin could do with it.

  1113. The question is not if they are impartial or not of course they are Pro-Ukraine as the rest of the World for the most part the question is do they lie to us or not. I don't care what bias media has as long as it sticks to the Truth.

  1114. Taiwan is the real China. Mainland China is ruled by Communistic Rebels who unfortunatly won the insurrection and forced the old China to retreat to Taiwan.

  1117. The US military budget alone this year is 860,000 x 1,000,000 $. Ukraine got 20,000 x 1,000,000 $ in ammo and old military equipment the US military was planning to replace anyway. You think this is relevant? For comparison Build Back Better was supposed to invest 3,200,000 x 1,000,000$ into US infrastructure over 10 years. Sadly is was cut down and slashed by Manchin and Sinema to merely 750,000 x 1,000,000$. Social Security alone costs 1,170,000 x 1,000,000$ per year. You really think these 20,000 makes a difference?

  1125. The times of unregulated trade are over. All customs areas apply protectionism to give their market an advantage and prevent wealth and bussiness leaving.

If some countries doing their own thing it is neighter the fault of NATO nor of the EU because NATO is a Defense-treaty and the other has no own army.

  1141. There were negotiations each week in the last 3 weeks. Putin more or less wants a complete surrender a victory by the stroke of a pen. Putin is unable to take Ukraine.

  1147.  @kirraak123  You miss the point. It doesn't matter how many people you have if percentage-wise your coverage is too low Covid spreads easier. Yes the absolute number might be impressive and it is a large number indeed, but the job is still only done to 33%.

  1150. Russians need to end Putins Cleptocracy. The Russian Army Generals need to step in and prevent the outbreak of WW3. The Oligarchs whose posessions are now confiscated across the world need to pressure Putin into stepping down or even use violence to remove him. If not than there are two options: 1) Allow Ukraine to be overrun and eradicated. If not this year than next year. 2) A World War ... everyone excluding China and India against Russia

And a prospering independant free democratic nation right on his doorstep was a greater threat to him than everything else because it shows Russian people that the grass is greener over there. The real fear of Putin is losing his place in Russia and being overturned. All powerful and wealthy men in history had only one fear at some point: Losing all this. And a rebelling population in Russia is his greatest threat to lose his power, his wealth and maybe even his life. Check russian history, Czars always had a bad ending. And Putin is in all but name a Czar.

  1156. I disagree. It will come even sooner with the sanctions. Don't believe me? Check Russian history and especially read what happens to people behaving like Czars.

  1157. I have to disappoint you here. If anyone than the poorest countries of this planet will face this threat. Europe already pays the highest prices for food and lower supply usually goes to the highest bidder.

  1159. Whoever uses a Nuclear Weapon first will be blamed. If anyone is left after this. The world has enough of them to destroy everything 5 times over.

  1161. Germany is well aware of the dependency to Putins gas and oil and they already seek ways to end it. And I have to disappoint you but not many Germans watch this even if they pay for it. This channel is in english and meant for foreigners not able to speak german. Germans have more than enough alternatives in german available.

  1163. East-Germany was Soviet Occupied territory during this time. Putin probably spyed on West-Germany from there ... or looking for western spies.

  1164. The weapons were designated to defend the NATO members they were delivered to. But those NATO members seems now have asked Germany if they can pass them along to Ukraine. Maybe they had enough to defend and thought "Ask the Germans if we can pass them along"

  1166. The only real rival of the US Dollar is the Euro. And if the UK had joined it in 1999 it would have been today.

  1168. Apparently you never heared of Stalin, the communists after him and finally Putin. Do was want to talk about Grosny or Syria? And the more recent cities in Ukraine. Just becasue America did a lot of mistakes in the past does not mean Putin or Xi gets a freepass.
