Foolishly, Ukraine has showed unwavering support for the Israeli military regime and yet again, Tel Aviv shows that it does not give a flying fuck about anyone else bar itself.

When are nation states going to realise that they are all being taken for a ride by the regime on stolen property.

The Israeli military regime does not have a right to exist if that existence is at the expense of innocent people and other nations.

"Homegrown" nuclear energy?

», through state-owned controls a large share of the global nuclear fuel supply chain. The scale of this dominance is striking: Russia commands approximately 46% of global uranium enrichment capacity, 20% of conversion services, and serves as the primary supplier for VVER reactor types across the world including Central and Eastern Europe.

For the European Union specifically, the dependency statistics are sobering. In 2023, EU utilities sourced 23% of their uranium from Russia directly, with an additional 21% coming from Kazakhstan, where Russian companies hold significant stakes through Uranium One company. Russian companies provided 22% of conversion services and a remarkable 38% of enrichment services to EU utilities in 2023.« (emphasis added)

Fortunately, at least Germany has consigned this technology to the dustbin of history – and sadly, it can't do so with nuclear waste.

Finland is the only country of the that has a final disposal site. A single one.

Go to hell with your greenwashing of "nuclear energy".

Today In Labor History March 27, 1918: The Cheka (Soviet secret police) tried to arrest the clown duo Bim-Bom for satirizing the Communist regime. The audience initially thought it was part of the act until they heard live shots being fired at the clowns as they fled. The clowns were later questioned, but released. And afterward, refrained from satirizing the government. They had been active since 1891 and continued up until World War II. They used unusual objects as musical instruments, like frying pans, brooms, saws. Prior to the Communist Revolution, they routinely satirized the Czar. For this, they were often censored or banned from events. They also performed throughout Europe, in Berlin, Budapest, Paris and Prague. In one of their satires of the Bolsheviks, Bim brought out framed portraits of Trotsky and Lenin. Bom asked what he was going to do with them. He replied, “I’ll hang one, and put the other against the wall.”

"For all the talk of Russia’s “weaponisation” of gas supplies, history tells a different story. For decades, first the Soviet Union and later Russia continued supplying energy to Germany and the rest of Europe through multiple geopolitical crises, including during the height of the Cold War. More recently, even after the delivery of German weapons to Ukraine, and then the attack on Nord Stream, Moscow repeatedly stated that it was up to Berlin whether to resume gas supplies or not.

The United States, by contrast, has a long and well-documented history of weaponising energy — using it as leverage to extract economic and geopolitical concessions. And under Donald Trump, this has become explicit policy. The US National Security Strategy, published in November 2025, designates “American energy dominance” across oil, gas, coal and nuclear power as a top strategic priority, explicitly framing the expansion of American energy exports as a means to “project power”. This is not mere rhetoric. The Trump administration has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to intervene aggressively in domestic and global markets, upend established policies and exert pressure not only on adversaries but also on long-standing allies.

By the time Trump returned to office, Europe’s dependence on US energy was already a fait accompli, following the EU’s decision to cut itself off from Russian gas and the sabotage of Nord Stream. Since then, Trump has only actively sought to deepen that dependence. In April 2025, for instance, his administration used the so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs to pressure Germany and other EU states to refrain from importing any Russian energy."
