Who is burning the bridges, and why?

It's not just that some Europeans are going to have a cold, dark, smelly winter without hot water to wash themselves.

This is shutting down German industry that is critical to agriculture, energy and manufacturing.

This forces Europe to become dependent on their US allies.

So I ask you to consider...

CUI BONO?

Who benefits?

You are right, “This is shutting down German industry that is critical to agriculture, energy and manufacturing.

This forces Europe to become dependent on their US allies. “ and one needs to consider cui bono.

The scope and depth of Mr. King's knowledge is impressive. He sees interconnections of systems and their dependencies that I hadn't thought of.

In this interview he paints a depressing picture of what lies ahead for not only the Europeans but for us - the people - in the U.S. as well, as the availability of energy declines and rises in cost.

Thank you. ..

How is it possible that France exactly this year found out and decided to put out of production large amount of nuclear reactors, exactly in the year when Europe facing many other energy problems (most of them also self inflicted)? It really start to look like some kind of conspiracy...

And what are the issues with Check power production?

I've been asking those same questions, and wondering the same thing too.

All of these self inflicted blunders that are timed so closely seem like a coordinated effort.

The only apparent purpose seems to be to intentionally wreck the EU economy as part of the so called "Great Reset".

Admiral Hyman G. Rickover - he was a legend for sure. We were all scared of him - God we feared but Admiral Rickover coming to your boat (submarine SSBN624) was at a whole different level of concern. As a reactor operator i was subject to direct contact almost 50 years later I still pop to attention when his name comes up LOL

Joel, what is that intro to the title music? A fight in a curry hall? That’s my best guess.

Who decided to use this method of recording and listening.. There are much simpler methods. You guys are over-engineering.

Well yes, transcripts would be much simpler, and an easy choice.
