Can Nuclear Energy Save Europe?
Nuclear power can't save Europe. It takes at least five years to build a nuclear plant. What's more, France gets 70% of its electricity from nuclear, but this hasn't stopped prices there from skyrocketing.

According to an RAF insider, the Air Chief Marshall is willing to compromise national security at a time of growing threats from Russia and China to pursue his ‘equity, diversity and inclusion’ agenda.
The U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001, occupied it for twenty years, and in the process got about 200,000 people killed. What's less well known is that, after leaving, the U.S. stole $7 billion of Afghanistan’s money.
If fears of NATO expansion don’t sound like a solid principle for Russia to stand on, then don’t worry, Russia has other ones – a myriad of factitious grievances tailored to the prejudices of any given audience.
NATO’s official Twitter account posted a bizarre video purporting to debunk "myths" about the organisation. But it's as bad as Russian propaganda. In the West, we’re not meant to be propagandised by our governments.
Western countries are planning to impose a price cap on Russian oil. But this is deeply unserious idea. If such ‘magic beans’ tactics worked, they would have been used by oil consumers against OPEC long ago.
First Russia said they couldn't supply gas without a turbine from Canada. Now they're saying they can't do so because they need parts from the West. Russia is forcing Europe to undermine its own sanctions.
Former Trump advisor John Bolton said the quiet part out loud. Speaking on CNN, Bolton claimed, "As someone who has helped plan coup d’etats – not here, but you know, other places – it takes a lot of work."
Britain is still importing oil directly from Russia. It's just that Russian oil is mixed with Kazakh oil during transit, so importers can say it's from Kazakhstan. This is basically 'Covid theatre' for geopolitics.
Hitler's invasion of Poland is not a good analogy for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. For one thing, Hitler didn't have nukes. And if you take the analogy to its logical conclusion, we should be declaring war on Russia.
