Europe could have kept operating and expanded its nuclear power plants but instead, under pressure from climate activists, including Greta Thunberg, shut them down
So Greta and her handlers are directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent Ukrainians. Sounds about right.

Well, I thing that European countries' energy policies antedate the rise of Teh Greta.
Nevertheless, I take your point.

I still think Putin may be having delusions of grandeur for Mother Russia on this one.
They're a middling economic power that punches above their weight in military might.
I'm guessing people will diversify away from Russian supplies in the future - at least on the margin.
I still take the guy's point - there are sources of carbon and renewables (nuclear) that are much preferable to buying from Putin.

It would be very good idea to leave them sitting on their own unsold product for the next fifty years or so.

Damn shame that can't go viral. She'd be in therapy for years.

Yes, colored supplies are so much more virtuous.

I don't really understand what Putin gains from all this. It seems like it could easily end with him getting it up the arse if Russia collapses. Why take the risk? He's massively rich, he could just retire.

EXCLUSIVE THREAD: Last week I asked a close, trusted and senior source in the U.S. Intelligence Community about this tweet by @marcorubio. I asked if the IC had intel that Putin was mentally ill. This was their response (on background):
(2) "The IC does. Extensive. Some direct. Rubio is cleared. He is one of two heads of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He is leaking on purpose. He is reliable.
The buzz I have heard is very specific. He is said to be suffering a mental illness...
(3) The illness is said to include a physical component."NOTE OF CAUTION: Using the word "buzz," the source was indicating this information came from inter-IC RUMINT or discussions amongst IC officials who hold TS/SCI clearances. However, the source was not claiming to
(4) have had been directly or officially involved with the intelligence collection or analysis of Putin's mental health. Because of this I've been unwilling to publish this info at @Debriefmedia. However, I'm willing to share here. With proper context included.
(5) The source would not elaborate further on what mental illness Putin may have been accessed to suffer from. This information was evidently classified.
