Germany really got itself in a mess with the energy supply. We thought Germany was smarter than that.

Maintaining the image of legitimacy for acts of politics everywhere.

Lex Fridman's podcast was the final tipping point. Watch for yourself.

 @thatonechillguy2427 Needs a name change
11
She was not listening, and just waiting for a pause to read the next question. Let him talk...and actually pay attention.
11
@kajjebre That's a decision for those countries...not you.
11
It should have gone to Australia. Australia would make a great spectacle of the WC.
11
And yet, they are still kicking Russia's as...
11
It's a pointless pretentious waste of resources, even when not broken. All to feed egos
10
@hs342 The size of the country is irrelevant.
10
Striking a Russian ship built in Ukraine, with a Ukranian rocket built in Russia adds a whole other layer.

@DrMcMoist Ask again, early in the morning.

@awesomejob4209 What? Use whatever currency you like, because the value of that currency is measured in USD anyway. You just need to find someone that wants your currency.
8
@adamcraft9118 Why would animals rights fighters destroy the environment of animals, they need to survive? Your willingness to try to blame who you want has resulted in you not thinking your conspiracy theory through. Animal rights activists don't kill animals to make a point. Why do I even need to explain that? Just....wow
8
Think of a glacier like a tumbling river that is moving in SUPER slow motion.
8
The cage was indeed a pretty prison
7
 @EarnestWilliamsGeofferic Xi just cherry picks the periods of history he wants to reference that suit his empirical aspirations.
7
I am just as sad for the ones that will be used to replace them.
7
Did Australia hurt poor little China's feelings? China is the one throwing around terms like enemy - Australia is just providing the materials China needs. Who needs who?
7
Watch the Lex Fridman podcast. You will find he says a great many things, and it isn't about that one thing in isolation.
7
China stocked up and now have stockpiles. They did with grain what the EU did with gas. By the time the EU realised what is going on, the prices have already risen and China alrrady has stores.
6
@trumpetisabouttosound9360 No. They have been saying they will, for the optics...but it's slow if anything at all. Australia got equipment to Ukraine faster than Germany did.
6
Why? Gas prices went negative yesterday. People were being paid to take gas. They will be toasty all winter.
6
@bdg404 Britain is tiny and ran the world's largest Empire. Australia is huge, as is Brazil, and both have natural resources to match Russia, and that doesn't make them some world leaders. You are clutching.
6
@SafwanNet Very well in the vast majority of cases. It is why there are so many students. With the numbers involved, as with anything involving massive numbers of people, there are unfortunately those that have a less than ideal experience, but this is not indicative of the majority. Why do you ask, and what does it have to do with the WC?
6
Is that what you got from this? ...or did you just see the title, imagine stuff and then hope your comment made sense? Hint - it didn't.
6
@mariahewitt9787 I am not panicking. It is an observation of a rare disease simultaneously showing up in very disparate areas of the world.
6
...eventually
5
Who said that? Are you arguing with your imagination?
5
And a case found in Australia today. How?
5
Same as schools, sports institutions, and any other large organisations with power.
5
@paraclete1236 Just another cult to the exact same imaginary friend... the false sense of superiority it gives is identical also. ...and yet, both cults claim that being a member of their cult somehow makes you special enough to put down fellow humans. Is that really what religion is supposed to be about?
5
@paraclete1236 Thanks for giving a working example of the false sense of superiority I was referencing.
5
@PlaYer-sn5or Is that like the agreement China signed that promised for HK to have autonomy?
4
Australia has been supplying China while they grew. I am sure Australia has something to offer Germany. May be worth a consideration.
4
HMSBlackPrince And yet, recently China was upset with Russia celebrating Vladivostok - and claimed it as their own.
4
@blackmantis3130 People don't just forget those who wronged them.
4
@mowana1232 Thanks for the description. We have the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) in Australia, which appears to be directly comparable.
4
@gullyside01 It is, but Putin is too scared to admit it yet. So, more lads to the meat grinder all for his ego.
4
@dreadfulbodyguard7288 Is that what you would do?
3
@trevortalbot4325 Of course it has to do with ego. How can you not see that. It is completely unnecessary, other than "look at me" value...for the company that built it and everyone that took a selfie, and everyone that over paid for accommodation to fund it. Of COURSE, it is all about ego.
3
@trevortalbot4325 The Eiffel Tower doesn't trap living creatures in an unnatural environment for your enjoyment. Wtf are you talking about? ...but yes, the Eiffel Tower is indeed all about ego too, obviously.
3
@rancosteel More compensating. No, I didn't see it. I don't feel the need to watch other people's measuring contests. You do you though.
3
@fishlivesmatter You seem to be confused by the definition of annex. It is NOT the same as occupied. It's not complicated.
3
They are those that can afford to leave...the middle class. That is why he is letting them leave for now. He doesn't want to upset the middle class.
3
It's a shame she didn't listen or let him talk
3
Like in Tiananmen Square?
3
@happymelon7129 The EU just didn't want their people to freeze over the winter. China, on the other hand, when using coal purchases to try to punish Australia, let their citizens go without power through the winter. Let's keep it real.
2
@saravana3061987 Lots of Trademarks for Ivanka in China. Do you know how hard it is for any foreign entity to get a TM in China?
2
Yes. Xi got upset when there was an anniversary celebration there a couple of years ago. He said he wanted to get it back.
2
@forestwells5820 But this has nothing to do with conservation. You are just flailing around hoping to grab something now.
2
As a true Republican, what do you think of Trump?
2
Why does Europe forget Australia exists unless they need help with a war? Any chance Europe might like to show Australia some respect? They managed to supply China while they built up.
2
@zeusmaryusep just...no. That's so ridiculous, it's hilarious
2
Dear Germany, Australia exists. Maybe it's worth seeing if you can find us on the map.
2
The CCP is only an armed insurrection.
2
@PlaYer-sn5or If you want reunification, then hand the mainland back to the official government, and disband the rebel insurrection.
2
@PlaYer-sn5or They look rather successful to me...and the entire world thinks so toi
2
@herzog1857 Yes really
2
China isn't...
2
@TMM-N No one believes that. Well, no one with free access to real information.
2
Australia supplies Russia with the bauxite used in their aluminium...as well as the others.
2
Well, if there is a video then it must be what they tell you it is. No question. /s
2
Australia can also supply many of these things, as they did for China.
2
They will move to Belarus, rest, regroup, and refit, and then open a 2nd front. All this is a deception show. The first step was moving nukes, so Belarus isn't invaded once it starts. They even managed to refit at an army base before pretending to head to Moscow
2
Making a nation so reliant on Putin's will has turned out to not be a good idea. Who could have imagined that?
2
 @dandyally9983 NATO would have no choice but to join in.
2
@Mercury-Wells So is Perth. Highway 1 connects a few of the towns together.
2
Sounds like an attack on British soil. Requires reaction.
2
Stop talking about stuff you don't understand.
1
@cautiouscharlie I think you overestimate your importance.
1
@thetreekeeper143 Why bother? Both have a regular history of self destruction from within. Just wait it out.
1
@twobrokeguyz1214 Only if you allow yourself to be contained.
1
They seem to do it often. They end the conversation based on a time schedule, rather than based on the information.
1
@katiehettinger7857 Then the producer failed
1
Exactly. We prefer a stable climate as it was mid-twentieth century.
1
Not most people...just the out of touch politicians
1
jacksmith6015 You should spend time finding information rather than attempting to be an edgelord. A good edgelord is far smarter than what you are advertising yourself to be. It was a good try, though. Good for you. Keep practising.
1
jacksmith6015 You sound like you think everyone on the internet is from America. Swing and a miss. Advertising ignorance some more, I see.
1
@happymelon7129 China is still in the middle of a civil war. The CCP are insurrectionists
1
Some are leaders...some are followers. Some make decisions...some fall in line with the decisions of others.
1
This isn't news. We knew this before the war even started. Why are we pretending something recently changed?
1
@АртемАртем-л4э Australia imposed sanctions on China, and they are their biggest trading partner. Why show weaknesses that can be exploited? Have we learned nothing?
1
@beomseokoh7285 EU is much bigger than Australia. Australia placed sanctions on China. Did the EU not learn anything from relying on Putin's resources?
1
Meanwhile, China has used nothing and has been stockpiling more the entire time.
1
Where? China. Vlad thinks China is his friend. Whoops
1
@abdulaiorsinekamarajr2809 🤣🤣🤣
1
I am sure that Germany will promise something and then may or may not deliver what they promise in a few months time.
1
@hansmeyer7225 Which part confuses you?
1
When Germany makes a promise, it now becomes news if they plan to honour the promise within a useful time period.
1
 @alextyy Not always. It isn't anymore.
1
@PlaYer-sn5or This is about believing China under Xi will keep their word when they sign an international agreement. You are now trying to avoid recognising that he has made China's word totally worthless.
1
@tshifhiwaramatswana6862 China is just sitting by and watching Russia ruin itself and fall down the international ladder of influence and is moving in to fill the gap. China moves up the ladder as Russia falls down.
1
@yangli8147 Selective choice of history. The CCP is an armed insurrection, and the real government of China is in Taiwan.
1
I don't expect either Russia or the US to honour anything they agree to. Let's not pretend either actually live up to their rhetoric.
1
@AntonSobyanin So he isn't in control. Got it.
1
@fooballers7883 If that rank or those fish were used to feed someone then that's a an entirely different discussion.
1
@fooballers7883 You didn't make the news, because irrelevant.
1
Easy - Trade economics.
1
The US doesn't do world news. It's all just US political manipulation.
1
The irony.
1
If the Zero COVID policy works, then why do they need eternal lockdowns? Seems a reasonable question.
1
@bunsw2070 The lines between reality and satire have become very blurry
1
@Sweet-Rat-Milk That didn't stop the ANZACs from helping liberate it.
1
@virtusdrakonians1886 The crime was Russia invading Ukraine. That's on Russia. I am not sure what mental gymnastics you are doing.
1
@evan6034 You seem like the type of person that thinks digging down is a good way out of a hole. The project never passed final inspection. It needs a lot more than just turning it on. Everyone knows that.
1
@evan6034 It hasn't reached final inspection. Are you wrong intentionally, or just don't know any better? As for the rest, the words didn't make sense in that order.
1
@evan6034 Really? Do you not know why no one wants to bother dealing with Russia any more? You can't be serious.
1
@evan6034 The west...isn't a country.
1
@k25314 That depends on what factors you use to determine value. How's is the value of that deal looking now?
1
Dear Germany, There is a country called Australia that produces a LOT of LNG. Maybe, try to find it on a map, and then see if they can help.
1
Australia already has a sub fleet. This is just rubbish bluster. Unless you plan on attacking a nation, then their defenses should be of no concern at all.
1
From Australia, it appears she is the reason that the EU is funding Russia's war...and the reason they are powerless to stop funding it.
1
@rojlee3773 🤣🤣🤣😉
1
@rojlee3773 Do you know what your mum taught me? Wait...how old are you? This could get awkward...son.
1
@eduardolei1531 Without Australia, there is no chance China would have experienced the same growth over the last 30 years. It's true even if they can't admit it.
1
Treaties have been written long before there was anything you would refer to as the West. This is just simply an easily verifiable falsity, by looking at Egyptian records.
1
It has just changed who is deciding what gets censored by a private company.
1
@vanessali1365 Not recognising Taiwan means they are loosing face. China doesn't take precedent.
1
@PlaYer-sn5or wait...were you hoping I am American? 🤣
1
Stop selling them the iron they need to build their war machine. Why is Australia supposed to do things in China's interest? Grow up China, you child.
1
They won't go north...they will go east. Take the coast and create a land bridge to Moldova.
1
@Ahmeddiin No...not everybody. Don't try to paint everyone else with that brush, to try to justify it. I am sure their law has repercussions for dishonesty and stealing something you are not entitled to.
1
@Ahmeddiin Gaining something you are not entitled to, by illegal means. Thieves.
1
That Chinese spokesperson has less integrity than a house built of sand.
1
Decades long cover up? Nah...centuries
1
The US has territories that I am sure Trump cares nothing about and would happily include them in any deal that favours him personally.
1
@jimcy1319 Maybe Puerto Rico - I wouldn't put it past him.
1
They have publicly stated they want it. Where have you been?
1
@simplicius11 By satellite, do you mean something like Starlink? News flash, they have access to a satellite network.
1
@raphael3620 The answer is in the question
1
So the smart money got out of their shorting position, when stock prices spiked a little, off the back of news of a single late payment.
1
Germany is Putin's puppet right now. What are you doing Germany?
1
Ship the grain anyway. It's not like Putin can do anything about it.
1
6500, at least
1
 @arindajordan179 So why are China worried about Australian defenses?
1
 @trumpbuddha1053 They can't. They rely on Australia. They found that out with coal. Don't even bother talking iron ore.
1
 @robertlee8862 They built their own current subs fleet. Cars and submarines are a bit different to each other. Why do I need to say that?
1
 @Primal-Weed You are someone's puppet
1
Russia is starting to look like North Korea but with actual working nukes.
1
Likely? No...it's inevitable. Where have you been for the last 50 years?
1
If all armed conflict result in negotiations, then when will the CCP and Taiwan sit down and negotiate?
1
Objectively, Poland got messed around by everyone and deserved reparations as much as any other nation. Just because Germany wants to say enough is enough...Poland didn't have that luxury. Legally, maybe no case. Morally, definitely no question they do have a case.
1
How much value of trade did Germany do with Russia today?
1
There isn't a quota on who they can say this about. Weird claim.
1
@jerrymiller9039 Both require that urging.
1
That is why they want to control those resources. ... that's why there is a war.
1
China stockpiled grain like the EU stockpiled gas. Now China has already organised different suppliers and the EU is playing catch up. The EU was too busy doing their thing with gas, while China had time to concentrate on the next step.
1
What about iron ore? 😉
1
@alexsilent5603 Australia's Traditional Owners are FAR older.
1
@willielim3269 What does that even mean? Explain further.
1
@willielim3269 Really? My question confused you? Wow
1
Those that seek power, should not have it. Those that do not seek power are those that should wield it.
1
Germany promised much...and delivered little. Time to step up. It might have made winter easier had Germany lived up to its word.
1
Do you know who the members of ASEAN are?
1
No iron for you. Screw up your war plans.
1
@weishen9731 Why so aggressive? What has any Australian ever actually done to you? I'll wait...a long time...because you have no answer. So just slip in to your script and ignore a genuine question.
1
@weishen9731 So you are aware that without Aussie iron your cities don't exist. You would think you would be thankful for such a thing.
1
@weishen9731 Yes...so why does your representative talk of Australia like something stuck to his shoe if admit and can see respect is deserved? That makes zero sense unless it's just arrogance
1
@John-mf6ky Beau has addressed the huge flaws in those criticisms many times. Take your own advice, and "look into it"
1
And yet, the oil companies are realising record profits. They can absorb some of this, if they chose to.
1
@doubletime9098 Seems to be an echo
1
@imdba3685 Why blame others? Accept reality.
1
@imdba3685 If it worked there wouldn't still be lock downs. When overwhelming evidence shows something is wrong, you don't ignore the evidence for ego
1
@imdba3685 Not everyone on the internet is from America, or a Chinese wumao...fool
1
@justinblake420 What are you talking about?
1
And yet, record profits for all the super market chains.
1
@C1K450 More? 😄😄
1
What?
1
Just lock him and Putin in a room and let them sort it out between themselves. Problem solved.
