"One of the worst geopolitical miscalculations ever. Putin can hardly have believed his luck, watching Germany close down nuclear power in favor of a gas fix from Moscow. Germany gets 55% of its gas, 45% and 40% of its oil from Russia."

To praise America’s past is a thought crime. The ignorant, who have no idea of the date when the Civil War began, nonetheless lecture to the nodding that 1619 not 1776 was America’s real foundational date.
