What else Germany can do if they shut down and demonized all nuclear energy?
Winters are cold and they don’t want to freeze to death as their grandfathers in 1941 (https://archive.is/csslJ).
They can’t burn coal for political reasons (green party), there is no enough solar generation, especially under winter sun, so they burn natural gas, which is cleanest fossil fuel.
I wonder if they would be interested in NuScale's new micro reactors. No more of the PWRs that they are scared shirtless about but they don't have to burn half the oil in the world to stay warm.
Yes, it's posture for the populace. The moment the West invaded Iraq and Afghanistan we lost all moral high ground to make a judgement about what people are allowed to do beyond the geographic area they control. Especially since that murder execution style on Osama Bin Laden.
The Whole West World is compromised because none of our institutions prevented this nor were the guilty war criminals prosecuted.
I'd demand answers too. How come a 'military grade' nerve agent that should be capable of killing hundreds almost instantly is such a failure that it hardly works at all?
It’s interesting that (a) a military grade nerve agent was used, (b) the dosage given was sub-lethal, and (c) Putin had no qualms about releasing Navalny to German care. Makes you wonder if this was all about sending a message.
People who don't like Putin won't stay long in the office/alive. He's a KGB agent, paranoid about keeping his power, I'm quite sure all activities of Kremlin officials receive his approval someway.
Putin didn’t “demand answers” when the chairwoman of the Democratic party revealed Hillary Clinton was using the DNC to launder money to her campaign in violation of contribution limits set by law? No he didn’t. The US and European governments in its orbit should stop meddling in and creating internal conflicts in other states like Ukraine Venezuela and Syria.
> Navalny received a scholarship to the Yale World Fellows program at Yale University in 2010.
Imagine an American politician received a scholarship to study at a Russian university. I think such a politician would be accused of being a quisling immediately and the FBI would accuse him of lying to put him away like they did to General Flynn.
> With regard to Russia's annexation of Crimea, Navalny shortly after the annexation urged further sanctions against officials and businessmen linked to Putin and proposed a sanctions list for Western countries
Wow. Here he’s calling for foreign governments to intervene to attack his political opponents. If Trump were to call on Putin to sanction Biden the US media would be brandishing pitch forks on live TV.
I'm sure, civilized world can demand answers from Kim Jong Un about working camps in his country, or Xi Jinping about concentration camps for Uighurs with the same probability of success.
Dictators don't care what people outside their dictatorship think and do, unless it possesses direct threat to their power. Russia has nukes and seems do not care about sanctions (I mean, starving people without access to medications is not a reason to care for Putin), so Merkel would unlikely receive any explanation from Putin, he's to busy posing on a horse with a naked torso for Western magazines.
I'm sure the civilized world could also answer about how they monitor everyone, how they helped middle east, and how they pressured every country to submit to their demands.

If he just outright killed the man the news cycle probably would have moved on a while ago.
I imagine he is delighted by how this is all going.

Everything about this guy is suspicious.

I’m so sick of US imperialism.
